What is Hackers' Pub?

First post here. I’m into cybersecurity, privacy engineering, and digital safety architecture.
The internet is a distributed system — and security is just good protocol design applied to human behavior. Use strong entropy passwords, enable hardware-based authentication where possible, and assume every network is partially hostile.
Looking forward to sharing more security insights, threat models, and privacy tips here. Stay secure. 🔐🚀

아침에 이재명이 집 판 것도 판 거지만 저 뒷말이 더 무서움 “아파트 판 돈으로 ETF 등 금융 투자할 것” “부동산 정상화 되면 다시 집 살 것” → 코스피 상승률 유지시키면서 그 사이에 부동산 값 싹다 떨어트려버리겠다 라는 의지를 ㅈㄴ 당당하게 내비치는 거잖음 진짜 승부수 하나는 기막히게 띄운다...

Why does my cat always look angry? All you do is nap and get pets and get treats. Where did Jellytot learn to hate like this???

@zkatkat Management would rather document some human process that triple checks your build and release process hasn't produced a blob that is too big for the partition and depend on that alone to avoid overwriting the next partition containing the backup in a device that's surgically embedded in someone than implement any checks in the tools that perform that writing because that would then have to be designed, documented, risk analyzed, tested, requirements traced...

Fuck me the overdesigner.

I really hate dnsmasq. every once in a while I have a problem and some Linux guy tells me "just use PXE bro" and then I spend a hour configuring PXE that doesn't fucking work without displaying a single debug print and all of this is a complete waste of time.

the UI of dnsmasq is atrocious; if I wanted to be able to tweak every DHCP option I would use my TCP/IP stack to answer DHCP queries. just give me something that can boot a machine without four hours of twiddling with options that are required for correct operation yet nobody bothers to give them names better than "66"

In November I reported on my bank disabling 2FA via SMS, back then it seemed my 2020-2025 experiment of smartphone-free living was coming to an end. But! I found that there are multiple banks in austria (the big ones primarily) that support "Card TAN", i.e. you get a physical 2FA device (free of charge even, looks like a calculator, works across all banks) that you can use for all 2FA needs.

It was quite a bit of work to figure everything out, and my account fees are higher now, but I've switched bank, and it works flawlessly now. Smartphone-free life go brrrrrrrr. (Thanks everyone for your input and ideas back then! <3)

An externality is just a subsidy that's been extracted from people who weren't given a choice in the matter.

"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?

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

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."
