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.

It's the weird cases where shines. I've been a bit sick lately and wanted to replay an old game (Baldur's Gate II). It depends on openssl 1.0.x . Pretty much no modern distro ships that (for good reasons).

In other distros there's a few paths:
* Compile the lib yourself, override LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the built dir
* Build/use a binary package, hope for the best and pollute your system with super old shared crypto library

NixOS let me builld + inject it for Lutris/game itself.

today is the day!!

the other day I went to the big sports store to buy baseball gear for my kid’s first little league season.

first season. big moment for him.

the place was chaos. parents everywhere. kids swinging bats in the aisles. helmets falling. the usual.

somehow I survived the mission and made it to checkout.

visionOS experiences can be challenging to prototype rapidly. Explore a metadata-driven Xcode workspace that turns simple Swift files into browsable concepts for Windows, Volumes, and Immersive Spaces.

포켓몬 신기한 던전도 인간이 갑자기 포켓몬이 되었다는 카프카스러운 시작이었는데 게임 끝까지 하면 그 얘기도 진행되는 거겠지? 앞부분만 하다 말았는데 계속 궁금하긴 하더라.

But really, relicensing a GPL codebase to MIT is uninteresting.

Let's do the interesting one, which is: vibe code a "clean room" reimplementation of an entire proprietary codebase! After all, Microsoft released a "shared source" proprietary version of Windows. Now try seeing what happens if you run THAT through the "turn it into public domain" machine

Win-win outcome, no matter how it goes

(昨今の「分断」の用法は、結局のところ弱者やマイノリティの存在を隠蔽しきれなくなったマジョリティや権力が、その事実の糊塗のためにことさらに言い立てているものと理解しているので、私としてはその立場は取りません。分断は常にすでにあり、私たちは好む好まずにかかわらずその分断を生きるしかないのです)

If you had any doubt that the rise of LLM tools is a threat to F/OSS, even beyond the fact that its trained on it without permission, and is now frequently used to replace it (why import a battle-tested library when you can have an "agent" half-ass it?), people are now using LLMs to create derivative rewrites of open source projects to give them cover for bullshit relicensing attempts.

This case shows how Open Source will die. With anyone just being able to pipe existing code and tests through an LLM and claiming that to be "clean room" (which is hogwash) no licensing can protect your work from being accumulated and monetized by anyone. The commons are actively being shredded in front of our eyes.
