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.
Really enjoyed this scoop from the Financial Times, where a team of reporters identified 48 seemingly independent companies working from different physical addresses that appear to be operating together to disguise the origin of Russian oil, particularly from Kremlin-controlled Rosneft. The kicker: The network was discovered because they all share a single private email server.
From the (paywalled) story:
"The FT was able to identify 442 web domains whose public registrations show they all use a single private server for their email, “mx.phoenixtrading.ltd”, showing that they share back-office functions."
"The FT was then able to identify companies by comparing the names in the domain to those of entities that appear in Russian and Indian customs records as involved in carrying Russian oil."
"For example, Foxton FZCO, a Dubai-based entity listed as the buyer of $5.6bn of oil in Russian export filings, matches “foxton-fzco.com”. Similarly, Advan Alliance, an entity listed in Indian filings as having sold $1.5bn of Russian oil into the country, can be linked to “advanalliance.ltd”. "
"Filings linked by the FT to the domain list show oil exports from Russia amounting to more than $90bn."

@evanEvan Prodromou To be clear, I think json-ld has a lot of great ideas in it, and it's the extensibility and linked data compatibility (which was a strong group requirement) story we had at the time.
"JSON-LD is bad" doesn't really capture my views. "JSON-LD turned out to be too complicated for the majority of the ecosystem to work with, particularly when we gave the view that you could ignore it, except it creates a rift of interoperability between those who ignore it and those who don't and puts a burden on the latter who are doing their best to behave well" does match my views.
There are paths out of the situation, but I'm not confident in the discourse around them right now, and hesitant about how much I want to engage with it.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @eyeintheskyThe Eye @smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @evanEvan Prodromou Apart from the fact that I would prefer turtle, I am very happy that AP ‘prescribes’ json-ld. This opens the door to many of my ideas. It makes possible what would be very complicated without #RDF. It's about time that the AP developers got to grips with it! https://rdf-pub.org/#rdf

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/116103936616513460
We are looking at growing the Mastodon team with two new backend developers. We are starting some ambitious projects and need help!
You need to have a significant experience with Ruby on Rails as this is our framework of choice, but we are also looking for experience in search algorithms, protocol specifications, Rust or Go and project management (this one to assist me in tracking everything we are working on).
If you are interested, please apply using the form provided in the job description.
@MastodonEngineering In this position, you will work on what we recently talked about in this blog post: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/02/our-technical-direction/
This includes implementing shared blocklists in Mastodon, new tools to help with moderation, a new FASP to reduce the storage costs for remote images and videos, getting Fediscovery to production and many other things, in addition to maintaining our open-source software.
@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. It's even crazier than that. I saw the thread a few days ago where @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber apologized for JSON-LD in AP and @evanEvan Prodromou defended it (but for backwards-compat, not because AP is linked data). The "extensibility" claim is technical gaslighting since that's only true if you use JSON-LD processing of AP data (practically no one does and there's no requirement to do it). 🤪 Even then it's a weak form of protocol extensibility.

after spending over a week bedridden I finally felt well enough to sing again. here's baritone aria "Scorsi già molti paisi," the song from Paisiello's 1782 Barber of Seville in which Figaro tells how he ended up in Seville. This song shows the huge contrast between the canon Figaro and Rossini's Figaro. Unlike the rockstar factotum of Rossini's Barber, who can pick and choose his clientele, Canon Figaro is a down on his luck survivor willing to lick boot if it means getting by

From a non-dev user perspective it is still surprising that you seem to work pretty alone on this huge and valuable projects.
@purplepurple 
I've been obsessed with social media since I started developing BoonEx Dolphin plugins and themes back in 2005, while still in high school.
I was an autobody mechanic until 2016 when I got back into webdev, and later started Pixelfed in 2018 (as a self-taught developer/high school dropout)
In 2020 I teased the first Pixelfed mobile app, and spent the next year learning how to code it, and later shipped the beta version.
Never give up on your dreams.
RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116111950233606434
I appreciate the support and concern about burnout, but that isn't what inspired this post.
I work from home, and the only real vacation I've had since starting Pixelfed in 2018 was attending FediCon last year.
I'd love to be able to afford to take my partner on a vacation, not to get away from development, but to make new memories with bae.
Working on Pixelfed, Loops and my other projects is a DREAM, I'm sorry if it didn't come off that way, but I'll never burnout from this.

A slick new phishing-as-a-service offering demonstrates just how easily a username+password and a one-time token can be phished. Dubbed "Starkiller," the service uses cleverly disguised links to load the target brand's real website, and then acts as a relay between the victim and the legitimate site -- forwarding the victim's username, password and multi-factor authentication code to the legitimate site and returning its responses.
