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.
#FediMTL I has to dip early and have been busy straight since then. But here's my closing thoughts.
First the positives:
I met some people I have been meaning to meet, and a few people came up to me because they were aware of projects I work on and wanted to express their gratitude. So that's obviously validating.
I flyered for Fediverse Night at @foulab (tomorrow night and every last Wednesday of the month!) and a few people had hears of it or were into the initiative.
FediMTL yesterday was excellent!
Thanks again to everyone involved 🫶

Something I was wondering about this morning: native English speakers, do you pronounce initial [wh] and initial [w] differently? I.e., is there a difference in the way you pronounce 'which' and 'witch' or 'whether' and 'weather'?

GNOME 50 in strings! It's around 8 thousand strings less than previous release, I assume we can thank x11 removal for this!
So, one thing I said at #FediMTL yesterday is that Fediverse software should ship with the IFTAS DNI list as the default, minimum blocklist. Ideally, the list should periodically auto-update.
If you *want* to see gore, racist harassment, or transphobia, you can consciously remove those sites from your blocklist. If you want to subscribe to a different blocklist, you should get to do that, too.
Fediverse admins shouldn't have to learn how to find the DNI list and install it the hard way.
IFTAS is *Independent* Federated Trust And Safety. It is a non-profit dedicated to improving user safety in the Fediverse and supporting the work of Fediverse moderators.
DNI is the "do not interact" blocklist maintained by IFTAS. It's a "worst of the worst" list that prevents interaction with, among other things, dedicated instances for racist, transphobic and homophobic trolls.

Discussing things online is great, but in the digital space—especially on social media—various topics often get mixed together, distorting the essence of the discussion.🤨

I want to recommend some training resources related to using Cyberchef. I know from my past experiences at Applied Network Defense that Chris Sanders has a video-based training on how to best utilize it. Does anyone have any other references? books? other training that they'd recommend?

"Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump."
https://www.npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-s1-5723968/epstein-files-trump-accusation-maxwell
The missing files are about accusations that Trump sexually assaulted a child and hit her in the head. The FBI interviewed the accuser four times and the DOJ has not released the interview notes.
All allegations of Trump wrongdoing are worth watching. But this one is especially worth watching because it has three properties:
1. It's serious.
2. It's well-documented. (Thanks to #NPR.)
3. It's one that many #MAGA voters and politicians take seriously.
Hundreds of Trump scandals have the first two properties. Almost none has the third.
This creates the prospect of actual accountability.

On a gut level, this is possibly the most apt framing of "AI" and its consequent "disruptions" that I've seen.
IMO it is no overstatement to correlate "AI" with death, nor apprehensions against it with grief for what we are already losing to it.

@Kjaerulv who brought it to my attention):

Statt Totalüberwachung von Palantir solls also jetzt "europäisch souveräne" Totalüberwachung von Lidl geben - also von "Schwarz Bits" oder wie der Laden heißt.
Macht keinen Unterschied. Ist eh alles undemokratisch.
