What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

ai 이미지도 살펴보면 실사화로 된 그림이 쩐다고 그러는데 거기에 나오는 여성의 면상을 보면 패턴이 정해져 있는 느낌임 요즘은 성능이 좋아져서 패턴이 더 늘어났지만.. 인스타나 트위터에 나오는 미인하고 비슷하게 스타일이 유사하다고 생각함 ai가 실제보다 쩐다고?? 그건 당신이 얼굴하고 가슴만 봐서 그래요

デモにペンライト持っていくのを『推し活みたいにデモに』って表現するのを散見しましたが、違いますよ。そう表現したらサナ活と同じになってしまう。若者の趣味だからと貶め軽く見るのは辞めましょう。それを掴んで路上に出る人達は好きな趣味を楽しめる自由を守るために必死で路上に出ているんです。

Do you have 5.25" and 8" floppy disks that are spare, low-quality, degrading, or just generally in bad shape?

I'd like to take my floppy disk data recovery game to the next level. I have equipment, but there's no substitute for experience. Therefore I'm looking for loose collections of old floppy disks to practice on. I'm especially interested in working with disks where the binder affixing the media to the donut is starting to fail.

I'm in London; will pay shipping; can pick up disks around here as well. Boosts are appreciated!

The Seven Deadly Fediverse UX Sins Part 2: The Road To Redemption

So you made it through the first fiery sermon in this series. Trust me—I didn’t enjoy preaching it any more than you enjoyed reading it. But every word came from a place of love—for the Fediverse, and for what it still could become. But fear not, dear reader: as the preacher once said, salvation is within your reach. And to reward you for slogging through that earlier wall of hard truths, here’s your moment of grace.

Also: i talk up the idea of and and and the in the idea on surfacing content...

Much of that idea was spurred by this from Piefed on it's potential feed format that can pull in multiple other community fediverse acocunts into one feed:

join.piefed.social/2025/04/30/

And would love to hear what @rimu thinks of my riffing on this for discovery fedi wide, and if he had notes.

How PieFed federates feeds (aka multi-reddits or multi-comms) - PieFed

Recently PieFed added a way to group communities into collections of related communities, which we called a “Feed”. Unlike Topics, Feeds are federated, can be created by anyone and can be public or private. There are now hundreds of feeds at https://piefed.social/feeds. A feed being federated means that people using other instances can subscribe to […]

Well put: “To conclude this wrapup of my experience in 2025: more than ever, I still regard the open web as my online home. There are communities I feel like I belong to within it — like the 'open social' community, the Mastodon community, the Eleventy community, etc. Maybe there will eventually be a Cybercultural community!

This is so important and organizing on the open social web may be the most vital, free, and billionaire-proof places left to do digital organizing. Folllow @renewedresistance for more ways to help ahead of protest! ✊

Attached: 1 image TOMORROW is it! The #nokings protest is almost here! Here’s the plan: 1. Share / boost this post to grow account - help us grow to largest social reach by 18th ✅ 2. Amp and boost all Nokings posts leading up to 18th. We will, too. ✅ 3. On protest day take pics and share posts from you local protest w/ #nokings tag… join us in boosting every single one! Lets go build community show up in numbers never seen before, and organize the open social web to fight for democracy!

Instead of defending the use of LLMs for polishing up your writing, we could be advocating for unpolished writing. Blog posts with spelling errors and awkwardly repeated words. Emails that sound a bit less warm and professional because you forgot the preamble of "Apologies for the late reply, hope you're well! Thanks for the thing last week".

If there's no budget for a human editor, why should the text meet a "professional" (middle class, formally educated) standard? Dyslexic people can just write how they write and people can deal with it. Autistic people can just say what they mean to say and not waste energy on the double empathy gap.

We can learn to read for a more inclusive world, instead of wasting the planet's diminishing resources masking our differences.

Since 1999, February 21 is UNESCO's International Mother Language Day, promoting multilingualism! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internat

As a global community, and thanks to the efforts of more than 200 translators, CoMaps is already available in more than 50 languages. Why not celebrate Mother Language Day by adding some translations and grow that number? translate.codeberg.org/project

No need to, I didn't call you out :)

I think the fediverse-we-have has become a very different one than the fediverse-promised based on the initial specs when there weren't implementations and an installed base making numerous design decisions in a very ad-hoc pragmatic fashion. Which is in itself fine, and a very good approach to get an ecosystem off the ground. But having the app-centric, app-first evolution be the primary evolution process, brought us to a different space than the ubiquitous, heterogeneous social networking environment we might all be working in, focused on exciting solution designs and less in all the plumbing and impl details.

No one is really to blame I guess. This is where laissez-faire in grassroots environments leads us, following the social dynamics that exist.

We can do better, but it is very hard in our individualist, FOSS-project-oriented herding of cats chaotic environment. The challenges are social in nature..

Major challenges for the Fediverse

Various forum topics highlights big challenges for the Fediverse to overcome. Below there is a list of those, and all of them are within scope of Social Coding #foundations to contribute to solutions. Challenge Description Lack of a shared (technology) vision People just use the Fediverse in its current state without asking what it could be in the future. The potential and opportunities are insufficiently explored. Stuck Fediverse Adoption Lifecycle A combination of factors make onboa...

Btw, some time ago in a matrix discussion I sketched how I'd like to conceptually 'see' the social network. Not Mastodon-compliant per se (though it might be via a Profile or Bridge) but back to "promised land". Where the protocol is expressed in familiar architecture patterns and borrows concepts from message queuing, actor model, event-driven architecture, etc.

Then as a "Solution designer" I am a stakeholder that wants to be completely shielded from all that jazz. That should all be encapsulated by the protocol libraries and SDK's that are offered in language variants across the ecosystem. et al is a black box. I can directly start modeling what should be exchanged on the bus, and I can apply domain driven design here. And if I have a semantic web part of my app I'd use linked data modeling best-practices.

I would have power tools like and methods like .

@eyeintheskyThe Eye

I am a former facilitator of SocialHub and part of the FEP team.

The whole idea of the FEP process is that it is accessible to all fedizens, and anyone can take the initiative and write, submit, and guide their own FEP document towards a FINAL status.

It is recommended practice to introduce a new FEP to the SocialHub developer forum for discussion, which the FEP forum category federates out. The forum thus also serves as an archive of past discussions around ActivityPub / fediverse evolution.

However, it is not *required* to discuss on SocialHub should you not want to do so for some reason. I'd say it has the disadvantage that it fragments discussion and it becomes harder to parse the 'body' of FEP's created over time. People would have to use the tracking issue accompanying a FEP to figure out where to discuss things.

But the freedom to choose is the important part. It helps lower the barrier to write FEP's.
