What is Hackers' Pub?

It was nice to finally have a shindig on the slopes of Mont-fedi today.
Credit for #FediMTL @info has to go to @meadminPhilippe Larose Cadieux and @Kath at #qlub who ever-cheerfully took on the challenge of piloting our endeavour into a smooth landing and @evanEvan Prodromou for curating the lineup and being the atomic clock the fediverse can rely on.

I don't know if there has actually been a real-life ed(1) conference, but I'd definitely try to go if there was such a thing.

It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine nonbinary Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)

It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.

It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.

Jabberwocky
By Lewis Carroll

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Crucial Track for June 18, 2025

"Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/wagon-wheel/1771036383?i=1771036395)

My seven-year-old to my three-year-old after swimming lessons tonight: The only part of this song I know the words for is the ,"Mama Arachnid" part. It's a really good song. Me: I think that's, "Mama rock me?" 🤣

"Amarillo By Morning" by Charley Crockett

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/amarillo-by-morning/1792234260?i=1792234276)

Charley Crockett's rendition played through our trip to Surfside, Texas all week. He's been a favorite of mine for quite a while and his Lonesome Drifter was a nice road trip mix to Texas.

"Texas Sun" by Khruangbin & Leon Bridges

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/texas-sun/1485581308?i=1485581309)

We just got back from a family trip with my parents and siblings in Surfside Beach, Texas. This song played in my head for most of the trip even if I didn't queue it up to play until this afternoon when i took both of my kids through the car wash.

Hello everyone, version 0.21.0 of #GoToSocial, aka Sacrilegious Sloth, has emerged from the release candidate process, ready to serve your nasty blasphemous posting needs 🥰

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.21.0

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version! There are database migrations and config file changes to be aware of.

Here are the release highlights:

• Domain Limits: You can now create domain limits in the admin section of the settings panel, in order to do things like limit + mute all accounts on a domain (except ones you follow), add content warnings to posts from limited domains, mark media as sensitive (or don't download it at all).
  Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/domain_limits/
• Indexable support: You can now mark your account as "indexable" by full-text search, in the settings panel. This will federate your preference to other servers, so that servers with full-text search functionality can include your posts in search results.
  Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#mark-accounts-posts-as-full-text-indexable
• Show reblogs on the web view of your profile (opt-in): A new setting in the settings panel allows you to opt-in to showing posts that you've boosted/reblogged on the web view of your profile. The default setting retains existing behavior (don't show boosts on the web view).
  Documented here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#include-boosts-on-the-web-view-of-your-profile
• Better caching behavior for timelines. The number of database calls when browsing local + public timelines and lists should be significantly reduced.
• Store + show reason for undownloaded media: When media fails to be downloaded from a remote instance, the reason why will be shown next to the post.
• Include canQuote property on outgoing posts: Currently, this is always set to author-only, but it paves the way (and signals intent) for GtS to implement quote toots at some point.
• Much improved OpenGraph previews: Whitespace is now preserved in OpenGraph previews, and media + formatting was rejigged, so linking to GoToSocial posts should result in much better OpenGraph-generated preview cards.
• Expand/collapse all spoilers button on web view of threads: when viewing threads in the web view, you can now expand/collapse all spoilers at the click of a button.
• S3 Object Info Caching: you can now configure cache.s3-object-info in order to mitigate expensive S3 info calls when doing nightly media cleanup.
• Preserve significant whitespaces in incoming + outgoing posts: previously we were squashing a lot of whitespace together, which meant that, for example, indentation could get lost on posts federated into a GoToSocial instance. This is now fixed, so you can post poetry and whatnot without worrying about it looking like hot crap.
• Millions of fucking bugfixes: we squashed a lot of them!

Rhinoceros!

"But the gen-a.i. assistants are guided by tests!"

So here's a thing about tests: when a program passes a set of tests, that's useful because it rules out some ways in which the program's behavior could have diverted from expectations that followed from your understanding of the program.

But you do need to have a clear understanding of the program. And as your "productivity" increases (as you produce more & more code in less & less time), your understanding fades.
