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.

If you’re going to a 3rd world country know for political strife and instability, do you bring your expensive macbook with you? I’m thinking that if I go my computer goes with me, but maybe that’s the wrong way to approach this?

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.

キーボードに4万円出せないでしょっていう気持ちはめっちゃあるけど、こちとら1日のうち4時間とか5時間は少なくともキーボード触ってんだって考えると、ここに対する投資でモチベ上がるなら安いかっていう言い訳ががががが

트럼프 “앤트로픽은 좌파 광신도, 정부기관서 클로드 쓰지 마라”···‘AI 병기’ 거부에 보복 www.khan.co.kr/article/2026... "클로드는 현재 미군 기밀 시스템에서 사실상 유일하게 활용 가능한 AI로 알려져 있다. 국방부는 이를 향후 ‘합법적인 모든 목적’에 제한 없이 사용하겠다는 입장을 밝혀왔다. 반면 앤트로픽은 자사 AI 모델이 자국민을 대상으로 한 대규모 감시 활동이나 완전 자율무기 체계에 활용돼서는 안 된다는 원칙을 고수해왔다."

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A linktree. (UPDATE: hub.vocalcat.com )

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? Right now it only supports mastodon authentication, so if you have a mastodon account reach out in private mention for the invitation code.

I think it's pretty telling that after stealing the entirety of the world's Open Source Software to train their models, *none* of the AI code tool companies offer discounted or free plans to OSS projects. Just another slap in the face from the biggest OSS pirates in history. Guess I won't be able to use them to support our users without some generous donations.

a shocking number of web dev blogs are missing CORS headers!

only 46 of the 200+ feeds I subscribe to can be accessed by web-based RSS readers :(

Learn how and why: blogsareback.com/guides/enable

I'll give you 30 days before I name and shame 😈
