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.
Reflection on #NixOS vs #Ansible
Ansible gives that ever-so tempting option to make changes directly on the servers. Things you might justify as minor, unimportant, or urgent. Whatever the reason, you can easily sync the server state with Ansible later, right?
Later: One some unrelated task, all these changes show up in the dry run and are a distraction and drag to deal with.
#NixOS forces you to make the changes only to the "single source of truth", eliminating this class of issues.

@appinn小众软件（镜像） Fedify 2.0.0 is here!
This is the biggest release in Fedify's history. Here are the highlights:
dwn 
@fedify/fedify package has been broken up into focused, independent packages: @fedify/vocab, @fedify/vocab-runtime, @fedify/vocab-tools, @fedify/webfinger, and more. Smaller bundles, cleaner imports, and the ability to extend ActivityPub with custom vocabulary types.@fedify/debugger package gives you a live dashboard at /__debug__/ showing all your federation traffic: traces, activity details, signature verification, and correlated logs. Just wrap your Federation object and you're done.@fedify/relay and the fedify relay CLI command. Supports both Mastodon-style and LitePub-style relay protocols (FEP-ae0c).orderingKey option solves the “zombie post” problem where a Delete arrives before its Create. Activities sharing the same key are guaranteed to be delivered in FIFO order.setOutboxPermanentFailureHandler() lets you react when a remote inbox returns 404 or 410, so you can clean up unreachable followers instead of retrying forever.Other changes include content negotiation at the middleware level, @fedify/lint for shared linting rules, @fedify/create for quick project scaffolding, CLI config files, native Node.js/Bun CLI support, and many bug fixes.
This release includes significant contributions from Korea's OSSCA participants. Huge thanks to everyone involved!
This is a major release with breaking changes—please check the migration guide before upgrading.

Makes me want to jump into upgrading 
@encyclia, especially after we postponed the Fresh 2.x integration. But it sounds like that's going to be a bit of an adventure, so I'll wait until I can set an afternoon aside for it.
"Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects1. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk’s platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users’ feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X’s algorithm has persistent effects on users’ current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship."

The best advice I have for new nerds: Refuse to pay rent.
Don't subscribe. Don't lease. Don't use their cloud. Don't slip down the freemium slope. Don't create accounts on their services.
Buy it once. Run it local. Avoid commercial software.
It'll be a huge pain and you'll be an outsider but it'll be endless, interesting, and hard fun that'll pay you back with a curious mind and an understanding of the fabric of our intellectual infrastructure that will make you light-years more capable, useful, and healthy than the "AI" zombies.
Lol I wish Mastodon had a feature to make certain posts not visible to certain followers (read: I want to rant about leaving the Netherlands without my coworkers and boss seeing).

The fundamental issue I have with the Fediverse is that its greatest strengths are also its greatest weaknesses. And this cannot be solved with a welcome page.
Yes, you can host your own instance. But it gets very expensive over time if you want to preserve history. I just started deleting old content on my server.
If you join another platform then you have the free rider and bad actor problems. There is a huge disincentive to allow many people onto your server.

하지만 그런 부동산이 제 이름으로 등기가 되어 있지 않지 않습니까. 그렇다면 어쩔 수 없는 것입니다. 아파트 대출금이나 갚자.

한국 팬 관련해서 작곡가가 썰을 하나 풀었다. 2년 전 크리스마스 때 자신의 아내랑 같이 암스테르담의 박물관에 갔는데 한 한국인 팬이 자신을 쭉 쳐다보더니 자신의 눈을 마주침과 동시에 손가락으로 가리키면서 "...바바 예투?!"라고 했다고 한다. 기억에 남았는지 아내가 며칠 뒤 '크리스토퍼 틴, "바바 예투"라고 불러주세요'라고 적힌 명패를 만들어 줬다고 한다. 자신의 이름을 바바 예투라고 개명해야겠다고 너스레를 떤 건 덤이었다.

How far back in time can you understand English?
It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.
"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."
