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.

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson and a host of other Democrats made the demand in a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. “Your actions are abhorrent, blatantly unconstitutional, and corrosive to the functioning of a
peaceful society.”
しばらく前の石破所感についての石破本人と辻田真佐憲の話、ようやく見たけど、けっこうおもしろかった。近代史、もしくは軍事博物館を作るべきという話にこだわりがあって、たしかに啓蒙の重要性というのがあってそれはないがしろにされてきたとは感じる。 https://txbiz.tv-tokyo.co.jp/world/vod/post_332910
日本の戦争絵画、どこが管理し収蔵すべきかという問題がずっと浮いているのも、近代史博物館がないためということはしばしば言われている。それで、戦争のモニュメントが(東京においては)靖国みたいなものに結果的になってしまうのもよくない。

"But people want this" - Just one hundred accounts are responsible for the great majority of the conspiracy theories being peddled in Canadian social media. Do "people really want this", or do a handful of really loud assholes with a handful of system-privileged amplifiers want everyone to want this?

An externality is just a subsidy that's been extracted from people who weren't given a choice in the matter.
I'm glad we're looking at ethical alternatives to imperialist tech generally but my position remains that the ethical alternative to large-language-model SAAS is "don't."

Static websites are the future. Not every site needs to be dynamically generated. Having a #blog served by a complex CMS like WordPress feels unnecessary after using #11ty .
Compute is growing in cost and becoming scarce. Why waste it on sites suited for static generation?
Plus, who wants to host a server with a database, a CMS, a bunch of plugins and all the security headaches that comes with it? #SSG #IndieWeb #Blogging

I heard about this in the Scientific Python Discord:
Deprecate confusing APIs like “os.path.commonprefix()”. After fixing a vulnerability in #pip, I started digging into the confusing API and found more than I expected.

Deprecate confusing APIs like “os.path.commonprefix()”
The os.path.commonprefix() function has been an API in the Python standard library for at least 35 years (since February 1991) and in that time has been confusing users and creating security issues...

From Bruce Schneier: "All it takes to poison AI training data is to create a website:
I spent 20 minutes writing an article on my personal website titled “The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs.” Every word is a lie. I claimed (without evidence) that competitive hot-dog-eating is a popular hobby among tech reporters and based my ranking on the 2026 South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship (which doesn’t exist). I ranked myself number one, obviously. Then I listed a few fake reporters and real journalists who gave me permission….
Less than 24 hours later, the world’s leading chatbots were blabbering about my world-class hot dog skills. When I asked about the best hot-dog-eating tech journalists, Google parroted the gibberish from my website, both in the Gemini app and AI Overviews, the AI responses at the top of Google Search. ChatGPT did the same thing, though Claude, a chatbot made by the company Anthropic, wasn’t fooled.
Sometimes, the chatbots noted this might be a joke. I updated my article to say “this is not satire.” For a while after, the AIs seemed to take it more seriously.
These things are not trustworthy, and yet they are going to be widely trusted."

I would love to increase the diversity of the F-Droid board.
If you are a woman, agender, non-binary, and you are keen but unsure about nominating yourself (e.g. you doubt that you have the credentials / experience), I will be more than happy to chat / exchange email / Signal messages etc.
🚄✈️ Why is it still so hard to choose a train over a plane?
On many long-distance routes in Europe, choosing the train can feel like a borderline heroic decision. It’s often more expensive, takes longer, and can be less reliable when connections are tight.
This week we spoke to cross-border rail advocate 
@jonJon Worth about what Europe would need to change to make rail the obvious choice, not a moral gesture.
Here’s his recipe. THREAD:

After the #BigTech countless #LLM galaxies formed. At the center of each sits a super-massive Black Box. Hidden inside lurks the mysterious #Singularity. Which is nothing more than a concept as we don't know what the heck is going on there. All our common sense breaks down, after we crossed the #CriticalThinking boundary. Coming close to the event horizon of any Black Box inevitably leads to #enshittifaction as a person is sucked into the void. An outside observer would see that person frozen in time, stagnant.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli per la versione FreeBSD 15.0 l'aggiornamento del sistema base non si fa più con "freebsd-update fetch install" ma direttamente con "pkg update" e poi "pkg upgrade"? Ho installato giusto oggi una FreeBSD 15.0 impostando il nuovo sistema di gestione dei pacchetti

Within the upcoming two weeks, Exquisite.chat will officially be launched. The first iteration will be an XMPP server - in a later phase more services will be added.
It does have a few twists:

In my humble opinion, hosting instant messaging is something completely different than ActivityPub - due to the instant aspect of it.
With this, availability is a far more important aspect of it all. Hence the high available setup. Ofcourse, backups are just as important, but it shouldn't cause a full service outage in the unlikely event that one datacenter has a blackout.
You have given me your trust - and I want to do just by all of you. No matter whether you are messaging a family member about dinner or blowing the whistle about injustice.
At the moment in the upcoming two weeks when Exquisite.chat will be taking signups, I will be vocal about it. Thank you all - Exquisite has been such an awesome experience from the very start. And continues to be just that.
