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 BBC’s reporting is correct, what we are seeing in Iran right now is the same playbook Israel used in Gaza. They aren’t sticking to military targets. They are targeting society, and the country’s culture and heritage. To what extent US targeting is following their lead is unclear, but hospitals, schools, historic landmarks, and civil infrastructure are being destroyed with the clear intent of collective punishment. It is abhorrent, heinous, and criminal.

“The sinking of the Dena seems to be part of Hegseth’s new policy of ignoring ‘stupid rules of engagement’ and ‘punching them while they’re down,’ and it raises questions of what the Trump administration would say if a country like Iran attacked an American ship it knew was unarmed.”

Test your browser's fingerprint and weep.

In my case, "at least 18.2 bits of information", but that seems to be an underestimate based on being unique amongst the recent visitors (~300k = 2^18). If they were independent, the information sources available on me would sum to about 75 bits).

Less than 8 bits of information with the Tor browser.

Browser manufacturers should offer a reduced fingerprint option (rather than only trying to block fingerprinting sites).

Hey, what up!

I'm Frank, an online entrepreneur designing and selling merch like t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc., on the web.

With a background in computer science, I specialize in tech skills such as website development, WordPress, AI, video creation, free/open-source solutions, etc.

In March 2026, I launched this Mastodon instance to provide a space for Canadians (or anybody) to escape Big Tech.

As a French Canadian, I primarily use English but welcome all francophones too.

GTK 4.22.0, the first stable release of GTK 4.22 is now available!

Lots of changes happened in this development cycle:

- a new SVG-based format for symbolic icons, including state-based animations
- GtkSvg, a paintable that renders (animated) SVG efficiently
- GtkAccessibleHypertext, an interface for accessible object containing links
- GtkPopoverBin is a new widget that you can use to show a popover menu on a widget

LLMs in FOSS

it is incredibly validating to me that prominent foss people who for decades embodied and reinforced the false idea that "all that matters is code" are now predictably falling into the LLM slop fad because, surprise fucking surprise, they never gave a single shit about people and simply rode the movement to have a space where they could whitewash their morality-unencumbered nonsense.

As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.

Maybe the government’s hope is that I stop participating in society, but I assure you that I will not. I’ll find or build alternatives, and refuse to comply with bad law.

I hope you will, too.

And as a silver lining, maybe the weird internet we end up creating as a result will suck less than the current one.

대구에서 피카소 전시가 열린다고 해서 봤는데 사짜의 냄새가 물씬 풍김 무슨 아트테크 한다는 회사랑 무슨 블록체인 한다는 회사가 합작으로 하는데 이 단어의 조합이 너무 사짜같다 피카소 진품이 전시된다고 했지 전부 진품이라고는 안 했으니(...) 일부는 진품이고 일부는 리프로일 것 같은데 웬만하면 막 사기극 같은 건 아닐 거라고 생각하지만 입장료 3만원을 내고 볼 가치가 있는지는 모르겠음
