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.

I have the impression that primarily anglophone people don't read as much translated literature, because so much good literature already exists in their language, so this issue may not be as familiar within that demographic. As someone who did not grow up anglophone, I can tell you there is a world of difference between a good and a bad translation even when done by humans. Machine translations are not even on the scale.

From what I've observed, people who claim that LLMs can replace artists don't understand art, people who claim that they can replace musicians don't understand music, people who claim that they can replace writers don't understand literature, and people who claim they can replace translators don't rely on translations. If I had a button that would erase LLMs from the world but it would take machine translations away (which is a false dichotomy anyway), I would absolutely still press it.

This has happened to me at least 3 times with Google.

- They offer a free service.
- I sign up for the free service.
- A couple years later, they say to continue with the free service you must now do something I don't want to, like pay monthly or agree to put my home address publicly on the Android store.
- I decline, and my account on the service is deleted.
- For literally the next 15 years, I periodically get inscrutable emails about service changes or minor pricing changes in Bhutan

[Product Update] Automatic enablement of new OpenTelemetry ingestion API

Hello Andi,

You may have previously received a notification regarding this update. If so, please disregard this message.

We’re writing to let you know that Cloud Observability has launched a new OpenTelemetry (OTel) ingestion API that supports native OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) logs, trace spans, and metrics.

Starting March 30, 2026, this API will be added as a dependency for the current Cloud Logging, Cloud Trace, and Cloud Monitoring ingestion APIs. This change ensures a seamless transition as collection tools migrate to this new unified endpoint.

now has much more detailed information about which varieties of Linux are supported.

tl;dr: all kernel.org "longterm" series, all RHEL active & maintenance series (including clones), and Ubuntu LTS.

(No actual change in practice, just trying to write it down a bit more clearly).

After watching the latest one I realized that there's only ever been two Jurassic Noun movies. The one where the dinosaurs escape from the Jurassic Noun because of convoluted reasons. And the one where people try go back into the Jurassic Noun for convoluted reasons.
