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.

RE: mastodon.social/@MastodonEngin

We are looking at growing the Mastodon team with two new backend developers. We are starting some ambitious projects and need help!

You need to have a significant experience with Ruby on Rails as this is our framework of choice, but we are also looking for experience in search algorithms, protocol specifications, Rust or Go and project management (this one to assist me in tracking everything we are working on).

If you are interested, please apply using the form provided in the job description.

AI가 전쟁을 편하고 효율적으로 만들었다보다 집중해야 할 것은 이 부분이다. 오류를 낼 가능성이 있는 존재를 어떻게 바라볼 것인지 책임은 누가 질 것인지 등 아직 많은 부분이 해결되지 않았는데 너무 성급하게만 움직이고 있다.

트럼프 이란 공습이 불러온 ‘AI 전쟁’의 서막 fortunekorea.co.kr/news/articl

Text Shot: 다만 우려의 목소리도 높다. 크레이그 존스는 “AI가 도입되면서 오류의 발생 가능성 역시 기하급수적으로 늘어났다”고 지적했다. 인간의 판단이 배제된 채 방대한 데이터에만 의존할 경우, 2003년 이라크 침공 당시의 잘못된 정보 수집보다 훨씬 더 큰 규모의 참사가 일어날 수 있다는 것이다.

윤리적 책임 또한 해결해야 할 과제다. 『하이퍼 워』의 저자 아미르 후세인은 “전쟁법은 기계가 아닌 인간에게 책임을 물을 것을 요구한다”며 “전장에서 아무리 높은 수준의 자동화가 이뤄지더라도 모든 행위에 대한 최종적인 책임은 인간에게 귀속돼야 한다”고 강조했다.

I was around at the time, and a long-time proponent for more linked data uptake in general in IT.

I don't think saying SW was shouldered aside is a fair assessment. As hype cycles come and go as these windows where a technology must prove itself, semantic web had one of the bigger cycles. It overpromised, underdelivered. And at the same time XML got overused where it shouldn't, becoming ever more complex web of standards and de-facto. XML fell in the grasp of corporations, pushing expensive Enterprise service buses, etc. There was a craving for simplicity to create sites and basic webapps. And then along came JSON, and XML quickly fell out of favor. Along with SW, which never got a good tool and library support in the ecosystem.. and that is still true today.

Other than that SW in many areas is a solution seeking for a problem. Some areas see LD uptake. But aboveall the dev community ditched the tech. And they need much convincing to come back.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @strypey @FinchHavenFinchHaven sfba @naturzukunft2026naturzukunft There are different ways to tell the story. Please consider this: the popularity of JSON stems from the promise of HTML5 that the developer would control the software at both ends of the data transmission. The web browsers taught developers to dismiss any concern for interoperability. json-ld is trying to fix that (and failing because of the external contexts, but it’s a different topic).

@mdnMDN Web Docs I’m disappointed to see CSS carousels still being touted as ‘accessible’. They plainly aren’t, as has been discussed many times. The linked MDN doc even mentions many shortcomings and has been updated recently to remove some of the unfounded accessibility claims: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/42681

"イスラエルによる攻撃が差し迫っているイランがこれに対する報復として米軍を攻撃する可能性があるため「切迫した脅威」が存在する。ルビオ国務長官がそう主張した翌日、トランプ氏はまったく異なる説明を示した。イランが米国に先制攻撃を仕掛けようとしていたというのだ。"

杜拜還是迪拜?港媒用中國譯法 資深記者:97前譯法以「粵音」為主

杜拜還是迪拜?港媒用中國譯法 資深記者:97前譯法以「粵音」為主

中東地區再起戰火,市民除關注當地局勢變化外,多間本地媒體報道時大量使用中國譯法「迪拜」取代香港沿用多年的「杜拜」(Dubai),做法引起熱議。有資深傳媒人向《追光者》透露,傳媒在97前禁止使用中國譯法,但主權移交後就轉為採用中國《新華大字典》譯法。有粵語保育組織提醒,中國擅長以語言控制思想,但港人目前仍缺乏對這種語言轉變的自覺。 美國和以色列上週六(2月28日)突襲伊朗,伊朗隨後向中東多個國家發射導彈,作為港人轉機熱門地的杜拜亦成為遇襲目標,有關當地形勢的報道亦不斷增加。在戰爭爆發首日,《無線新聞》、《有線新聞》及《Now新聞》三間電視新聞台提到杜拜航班受戰事影響時,均使用中國譯法「迪拜」。 紙媒方面,《東方日報》、《星島日報》、《信報》、《經濟日報》等沿用「杜拜」,《明報》、《商報》、《文匯報》、《大公報》等則採用中國譯法「迪拜」。本台翻查香港公共圖書館的「香港舊報紙主題館藏」,發現早在1971年由杜拜等7個酋長國組成「阿拉伯聯合酋長國」,《大公報》報道時任中國總理周恩來承認阿聯酋獨立時,已經採用「迪拜」一詞,並一直至90年代;至於館藏中的右派報紙《華僑日報》,則較多使用「杜拜」。 資深記者:97前譯地名以「粵音」為主 97後「共識」跟中國新華大字典 有多年電子媒體經驗的記者向本台表示,在97年前本地傳媒翻譯地名多以「粵語譯音」為主,但在主權移交後,傳媒之間的「共識」是按照中國新華大字典的翻譯,故不少譯名均以普通話譯音為主。 而資深記者F(化名)則直指在1997年主權移交前,曾被編輯要求翻譯時「不得使用《新華社》版本」。對於現時香港媒體失去這份堅持,F感到十分難受,她憤然地道,如果媒體報道時使用「迪拜」、「弗吉尼亞州」(維珍尼亞州 Virginia)這些中國用語,「不如要以後用普通話報新聞?」 政府新聞稿用「迪拜」 港官口述多用「杜拜」 官方翻譯方面,香港政府於2021年在阿聯酋成立的經貿辦以「迪拜」命名。本台翻查政府新聞處在過去一年發出的新聞稿,當中有至少16則是使用「迪拜」。惟同時間,官員在口語表述時卻偏向使用「杜拜」一詞。 以過去一年為例,無論是特首李家超去年訪問科威特時會見記者,還是商務及經濟發展局局長丘應樺、署理財經事務及庫務局局長陳浩濂在立法會發言時,都沿用「杜拜」一詞。有政府人士向傳媒透露,港府在使用「杜拜」或「迪拜」並無政治考量,外交部或政府高層

Finally got around to updating my router (new hardware) pairing it together with an AP, funnelling everything through a separate zero running

Bonus: my Raspberry Pi 400 is now setup with OpenBSD's httpd / relayd - ready to host all of my web projects locally!

That was sure a lot of buzz words...I'll gather my detailed thoughts and breakdown everything into a blog post soon 😄

So I've been using Fastmail with my own domain name for several years now. Fastmail is excellent - simply the best e-mail service I know, but it's also a bit on the pricey side, and I'm not sure if this is worth it any longer for my usage.

Many years back my e-mail was mostly personal correspondence with friends. Nowadays it's just bills, confirmations, notifications and newsletters. These things (well, some of them) need to work reliably, too, but I just don't feel "invested" in e-mail any more and think about switching to a simpler and more affordable service, most likely Posteo.

How has your use of e-mail changed over the years?

Since the last article, the secmodel_jail / jailctl / jailmgr stack has moved closer to a coherent whole. The original guardrails remain unchanged: no modifications to existing kernel paths, no UVM hooks, no NPF integration, no hidden coupling. The scope stays explicit and the risk bounded.

Progress has focused on operations. Logging, lightweight supervision, and basic metrics are in place, shifting the question from "can this work?" to "can this be run?". Networking remains intentionally simple and host-based; for hard isolation, Xen is still the right boundary. Jails provide an operational frame inside the host, not a replacement for virtualization.

Resource budgeting is being prototyped again via the secmodel evaluation interface, touching allocation paths and scheduler run queues in a minimally invasive way, but it needs careful review.

There is now also a small landing page to make the ideas visible, including an experimental amd64 ISO based on NetBSD 10.1 for testing. If it sparks upstream interest or discussion around lightweight, explicit isolation on NetBSD, that is already a win.

netbsd-jails.petermann-digital

Small follow-up on Jails for NetBSD.

While experimenting with resource budgeting via the secmodel evaluation interface, it became clear that pushing resource limits into the jail mechanism introduces complexity in sensitive kernel paths and risks undermining system stability. That runs counter to one of the core guardrails of the project: keep the mechanism simple, explicit, and low-risk.

As a result, resource control is now considered out of scope for Jails for NetBSD.

Jails remain focused on lightweight service isolation and operational structure inside the host. Systems that require hard resource guarantees should use virtualization boundaries such as Xen.

This keeps the design aligned with its original goal: pragmatic, minimally invasive process isolation on NetBSD.

A short write-up explaining this scope refinement will be published on the project website later this week.

핫산(hasanabi)의 (미국에 호구 잡히지 않는) 자주국가 만들기 3원칙(?): “1번: 핵 무장을 해라” “2번: 핵 무장을 포기하지 마라“ “3번: 핵 무기 보유하고 있다는 혐의를 받고 있다면, 다른거 내려놓고 핵무기부터 확보해라“ 이란에서 일어난 일 보니 특히나 생각났습니다. 솔직히 미국으로부터 이스라엘이랑 우크라이나가 받는 취급이 다른것도 어느정도 이걸 서포트해주긴 합니다

The unobtainium piece of the Seequa collection has arrived, and wow is it smaller than I imagined! The Tabor 3.25” drivette for these little disks were designed in a collaborative effort between Dysan Corporation from California, Tabor Corporation from Massachusetts, and Seequa Computer Corporation from Maryland. These rigid plastic disks could hold 500K on a single disk, and were to be the new “golden standard” of format for any luggable IBM compatible.

I will have my 3.25” disk, my NOS Drivette, and the Tabor edge adapter on display alongside my Seequa research at VCF East and VCF Midwest!
