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.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (, , Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefedThe BadgeFed Project !

Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.

メダリスト達をホワイトハウスに招待した大統領がディナーにマクドナルドを出したという話、格や徳や常識といったものが全く感じられないいつものエピソードで、行った人達さぞがっかりしただろうと同情する。
女子ホッケーチームは行かなかったそうで良い選択だと思う。

Recently, there was a discussion about generic #ActivityPub servers. Several people claimed that they were working on one, but it turned out that their "generic" servers only support activities defined in the ActivityPub specification. Such a server shouldn't be called generic. It is not difficult to build, neither it is an interesting concept because competing protocols (e.g. Nostr) already offer much more.

I've been writing a #FEP that describes how to build a real generic server. It is not finished yet, but I feel like now is a good time to publish it:

FEP-fc48: Generic ActivityPub server

This kind of server:

- Can process any object type, and can process non-standard activities like EmojiReact.
- Compatible with FEP-ae97 clients.
- Does not require JSON-LD.

I attempted to implement it when I was researching security properties of FEP-ae97 API: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/fep-ae97-server. Back then I didn't know what to do with side effects, but now I think that we can simply force clients to specify them.

Special thanks to @mariusormarius and @trwnhinfinite love ⴳ for their input.

Wenn ich Freitagnachmittag am Bahnhof stehe, sehe ich viele Soldat*innen (erkennbar an den Uniformen). Komischerweise stehen die meisten aber getrennt rum, also nie in Gruppen. Was ich mich frage: 1) Wäre das bei uns |er*innen auch so (das getrennte Rumstehen)? 2) Und was wäre eine geeignete Uniform für uns?

I have a blue collar friend who listens to podcasts all day. It’s wall to wall culture war content and he’s easily the least happy person I know.
The thing is I have another friend, same situation but he listens to CBC and NPR shows, still a decent amount of focus on the culture war but he’s a really popular happy guy, involved in the community etc.
Given regulations aren’t getting passed anytime soon, the media you choose to consume does come down to personal responsibly.

I never really got into Pokemon growing up, but happy 30th anniversary to those celebrating!

"At such a milestone, with an IP that has spanned at least ten different consoles and over 1300 episodes of primetime anime, it only makes sense to look back with fondness at the humble, sometimes bizarre, and other times gorgeous, beginnings of one of the most treasured video game series’ of all time.

For what it’s worth, I’m always going to love these weird little monsters."

어쩌다보니, 진짜 어쩌다보니 길드에 내 병명을 드러내게 됐는데
(사실 난 말하고 싶지 않았지만 대화 흐름상 자연스레 말이 나와버렸음)
어제까지 친했던 사람들이 한두명씩 날 피하는게 느껴짐..
맹세코 이 길드에 민폐 끼친 적이 단 한번도 없을 정도였는데 날 피함..
미디어와 세간의 인식이라는게 무서움 이렇게 색안경으로 보는구나
어딜가도 조현병은 예비 범죄자 취급이라서 당사자는 슬프다
