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.

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department

I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock

Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)

This is how shocked Max was when I told him

A black cat is sitting facing the camera. He is leaning his head forward slightly, with his eyes wide, which makes him look surprised - but he was probably just about to headbutt my phone.

I've seen several toots and boosts about what data slurps up when you go through the process to be verified on . Both @IvovanwilligenIvo 🇪🇺 and @BenjaminHCCarrBenjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻‍💻🧬 shared good information about this.

As a woman working in , I am delighted that the chose Hannah Spencer, a local plumber to be their candidate in the byelection.

She gets it in a way other politicians just don’t.

“One in three households in Gorton and Denton live in fuel poverty. Insulating homes would keep people warm in winter, cool in summer and slash bills. We’ve got some of the leakiest homes in Europe – as I know full well from working on hundreds of them.”

對林夕嘅喜愛係長擺喺心,佢唔係偶像明星,我亦無可能好似追星族追星咁時時刻刻關注自己佢發生咩事,只可以睇書睇報導留意佢。

只係,偶爾路過佢嘅文字,都仍然會驚嘆再驚嘆,感動又感動,到底一個人要幾有才華先可以寫到咁蕩氣迴腸嘅文字,其駕馭文字能力之高仿佛獨佔八斗,我又何其有幸可以經歷過佢嘅高峰年代,喺佢嘅文字中沐浴長大。

唉,好掛住你呀夕爺。

‼️ This is sadly very important ‼️

Please share and be aware of that – in the worst case – you will NO LONGER be able to install apps from individuals/organizations like @fdroidorgF-Droid f-droid if they are not an Google-approved publisher/developer!

Also sign the petition: change.org/p/stop-google-from-

‼️ This could already happen this year in Sept. 2026 ‼️

RE: oisaur.com/@renchap/1161200561

i think my toot from about 6 months ago auto deleted on this, but yes, the AI industry thing of bulk buying up hardware components is going to quickly inflate Mastodon server running costs, so be kind to your admins.

I've said this repeatedly too but it's going to massively increase business IT costs very soon, inflation is coming across the board, CIOs are going to have a budget crisis.

Also if you're a CIO and you think 'doesn't impact us, we're locked in with Azure/AWS/GCP/whatever', I've got a used car I'd like to sell you with 2 wheels.

The very orgs causing the crisis will monetise it, it's kinda the point. Your Microsoft 365 E5 license renewal is also going to be a big problem, just a spoiler, and they know you're locked in and aren't ever going to move platform too.

Kennt ihr diese Hot-Dog-Buden auf Stadtfesten und wisst, wie die karamellisierten Zwiebeln da schmecken? Liebe die!!
Durch Zufall hab ich beim Kochen rausgefunden, wie man den Geschmack exakt imitiert: Paprikapulver + Cola!
Macht mit der Information, was ihr wollt, mein Tag ist jedenfalls gerettet.

For years, a massive decentralized network of neighborhood councils known as Resistance Committees has existed in the lands ruled by the state of Sudan. Anarchists in Sudan have been active participants in these Resistance Committees, surviving against all odds through a brutal civil war, as armed factions compete for power.

Comrades at the Dugout Podcast, a Black anarchist media project based in the US, have created a fundraiser to get money directly to anarchists in Sudan. These Sudanese anarchists are building people’s power from below, through mutual aid initiatives, food distribution networks and medical clinics. This is an ongoing fundraiser intended for the long term support of anarchist organizing in Sudan. Donate individually, share within your networks or organize a fundraising event in your community.

Our comrades in Sudan are an inspiration to what anarchist organizational methods are capable of achieving as society around them breaks down and fails to meet the needs of the people. It’s imperative that we support their efforts from afar.

그것도 그것이지만, 밴스가 엑스커뮤니케이션 되어서 성찬례 참석 못하는거 상상하면 즐거움. 자신이 독실한 신자라고 믿는다면 성찬례에 참석 못한다는게 어떤 의미인지 잘 알것이고, 더 나아가 엑스커뮤니케이션, 즉 파문이라는게 어떤 의미인지 모르고 싶어도 모를 수 없을것이기 때문에. 설마 21세기에 파문을 하겠어? 라는 생각을 할 수 있지만, 가능합니다. 검사성의 후신인 신앙교리성에서는 아직도 파문과 복권에 대해서 다루니까요.

《尊重她的命運》

其實我上脆,通常是為了看點腹肌+西裝=霸總風格帥男照。
結果脆近日一直推給我:某位稱初見面男子為「霸總」的暈船小姐跟一位看不出霸在哪裡的老先生,曬恩愛。

整個事件簡單來說是熱心脆友當起鑑定團或徵信社,不斷列舉該男種種假冒的點,希望女方不要遇到感情詐騙,但一切證據似乎無法喚醒她的戀愛腦。善意在她眼裡就像是在否定她的選擇。目前演變成「大家多事了」。

這讓我想起大學時曾發生的一件事。

細節不便多說,就是某位有交情的學妹,竟然交了個……人品與外貌皆乏善可陳(只有功課好)的某系男友。學校很小,八卦很容易一下子擴散開來,於是就有複數同學跑來問我「蛤?為什麼她要跟他那種人交往?」

基於此,我不忍看她跳火坑,自以為還算是受人信賴的(?)學姊,不只一次善意勸她:記得不要一次放進整個真心。記得放慢節奏,停看聽。(抱歉我說教女😓)

我當時真的太淺,沒料到這種話說多了人家會煩。你以為是善意提醒,被戀愛神經元傳遞訊息後,會被轉譯成惡意的毒箭。
於是最後我收到的,是學妹對單身狗的我,冷回一句:

「學姊,妳是不是嫉妒我有男朋友,才這樣說?」(1/2)

I made my second Flutter app this week in about 30 minutes with to replace Fuelly on my iPhone. I bet 20 to 25 minutes were spent on trying to get the receipts scannable from my phone.

After it ran into build problems, I told it to remove that requirement.

This is my second iOS app built in a few weeks. The last one took about 30 minutes, too, with 20 minutes spent downloading Xcode and installing the right iPhone for the simulator.

Alameda is a bird-lover’s paradise, so it’s fitting that the K Gallery at Rhythmix Cultural Works is presenting “Flight Patterns,” an exhibit that celebrates the wonder of local birds. An opening reception is scheduled for March 13, and the show runs through April 24. Artwork by Jean Chen. alamedapost.com/features/arts/

i’m pretty happy with the comeback. it’s not bad stats. losing voice on twitter felt very demoralizing. while lots of hits are just HN spikes from people who open and immediately close, i feel like there’s still some audience for my writing. and longform probably more impactful in long term
