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.
@johnofrobotz fedi infrastructure is too expensive to scale beyond westerner who are tech savy, rich or well connected. In it's current form it is vowed to turn into fodder for corporate AI training. This is not my wish. It is the sad reality. Fediverse is awesome purely because of it's people. I reaöly hope they'll see what I see without having tp learn the hard way.

US Americans are, slowly but surely, learning what it’s like to be a citizen from anywhere else in the world at a border crossing. Top of the NYTimes is how to get and (gasp) pay for a UK ESTA:

Ve spacím vlaku na Slovensko s prknem na hory. Totální ostalgie - lehátkový vagón ve stylu 70tých let... osamělý kousek Československa, co zůstal v provozu...
Celkově jsou noční vlaky ale super řešení.

Ein bisschen bin ich gehypet!
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
kann irgendwer mit ein bisschen ahnung von ingenieurswesen (?) im entsprechenden bereich mal was zu dieser meiner idee schreiben? und zwar:
wir stellen bei uns allen elektrolyseure statt wärmepumpen in die keller. die erzeugen wärme zum heizen und der entstehende wasserstoff wird übers gasnetz ab- und „der industrie“ zugeführt.
bin mir sicher, da ist irgendwo nen ziemlich offensichtliches problem, bin normalerweise nicht so clever, dass ich als erster auf sowas komme. aber was ist es?
danke 😘

This is bad. This is very, very bad.
I'm not trying to pick on Python here, I pick it because Python is something I'm actively using, and so I have a vested interest in the project *not* being AI-vulnerable.
But it's not good, chat. It's very far from good, in fact.

“You aren’t trapped,” says Justin Miller, an American nurse who moved to Vancouver Island in Canada last month to leave life under Donald Trump. Since April 2025, British Columbia has approved more than 1,000 U.S.-trained nurses to work there. “You don’t have to stay. Health care workers are welcomed with open arms around the world.” Read more from

A big thank you to 
@deadsuperheroSean Tilley for facilitating a dedicated NHAM Peertube account on 
@spectraSpectra Video: https://spectra.video/a/nham/video-channels
I’ve now ported all NHAM related videos to that account from my personal one.
Currently there are two channels in the new account:
- NHAM Official (https://spectra.video/c/nham_official/videos) with gigs, music videos, talk shows and more.
- Lorenzo’s Music Podcast (https://spectra.video/c/lorenzos_music/videos) where we syndicate 
@tmrayTom Ray’s fantastic 
@lorenzosmusicLorenzo's Music podcast episodes that are relevant to the Fedi Music scene.
Do give the new account’s channels a follow if you’re interested in #FediMusic.
Thanks also to 
@peertube for the latest release which made all of this really easy for us to do.
"Kyle Fish, who leads model welfare research at Anthropic"
Journalism is hard. How can you write that sentence without wanting to shoot yourself in the head 4 or 7 times.
Yeah sure. Your bucket of statistics needs a spa day. Dipshits.

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.

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ Somehow, they are up to JESD216H. It doesn't get any better.
Would have been nice if there had been a standard for the SPI flash itself rather than just the SFDP data.
@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ JSED216H is 191 pages. Almost like the manufacturers do as they please designing the commands for these things, not communicating with one another, JEDEC just adds it all to JESD216.
JESD216H (August 2025), JESD216G (November 2024), JESD216F.02 (June 2022), JESD216F.01 (February 2022), JESD216F (December 2021), JESD216E (August 2021), JESD216D (August 2019), JESD216C (August 2018), JESD216B (May 2014), JESD216A (July 2013), and JESD216 (April 2011).
Very keen to play around with the new Claude Code Remote feature to leave CC running on my Mac Studio and use it on the iPad Pro!
Here's 
@johnvoorhees on how it works: https://www.macstories.net/stories/hands-on-with-claude-code-remote-control/
Git won't track empty directories (because at heart it only tracks files). Common advice is to add a '.gitkeep' file so the directory isn't empty and git will make the directory.
EVEN BETTER ADVICE: put a README in the directory explaining what the empty directory is for and what will eventually be there.
