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.

Seems painfully obvious that, whatever you think about code, anyone using it is heading for a code-review logjam. Assuming that the org requires code review; if yours doesn’t, nothing I can say will help you. Anyhow, Rishi Baldawa writes smart stuff about the problem and possible ways forward, in ˚The Reviewer Isn't the Bottleneck”: rishi.baldawa.com/posts/review

[My prediction: A lot of orgs will *not* do smart things about this and will suffer disastrous consequences in the near future.]

RE: cosocial.ca/@timbray/116200896

> When the person opening the PR gets credit for shipping and the reviewer bears the consequences of reviewing a bad merge, you have a structural problem no tool can solve.

In a pool of bad AI takes and cringy jokes, this is something you really want to read and reflect on. The issue predates AI, but AI is going to make it so much worse, that a conflict is nearly inevitable.

모지타바는 지난 8일 최고지도자로 선출됐지만 사흘이 지난 지금까지도 영상이나 공식 석상에 모습을 드러내거나, 성명을 발표하지 않고 있다. 이란 정부 관계자들은 살해를 위협하는 미국과 이스라엘에 위치를 드러낼 수 있다는 우려와 함께, 그가 다쳤다는 점 때문에 이런 활동을 하지 않고 있다고 이 매체에 전했다.

Gregorová prosadila svůj návrh, kterým defakto končí Chat Control. Stále ale není vyhráno - pirati.cz/jak-pirati-pracuji/g

„[Skenování je] cílené, konkrétně vymezené a omezené na jednotlivé uživatele nebo na určitou skupinu uživatelů, a to buď jako takové, nebo jako odběratele konkrétního komunikačního kanálu, u nichž existují důvodné podezření na souvislost, byť i nepřímou, s materiály zobrazujícími sexuální zneužívání dětí, a kteří byli identifikováni příslušným soudním orgánem.“

Lotus 1-2-3 on the PC w/DOS

stonetools.ghost.io/lotus123-d

VisiCalc started it, but 1-2-3 finished it. "It" being the discussion of what a spreadsheet can be, and also VisiCalc itself.

<- this is fun, but it is basically "a millennial discovers what you could do with 1-2-3 before they were born, and is blown away."

Stefano Marinelli shared the below article:

Release v3.3.3 of Ktistec

Todd Sundsted @toddsundsted@epiktistes.com

I have started work on a Mastodon-compatible API layer intended to support the many Mastodon front-ends available. It is incomplete and requires an explicit build flag to enable, but what's there (the main timeline) already works with the official Mastodon app, Tusky, and Phanpy.

Here's the full changelog:

Fixed

  • Editor focus now stays in the editor after the first draft is saved. (fixes #139)
  • Filter settings instructions. (fixes #135)

Changed

  • Improved consistency of mini button colors.

As always, check out the full diff for the complete details.

I have a proxy nginx instance, which sits in front of several websites. I now have a solution for putting a website into maintenance most by adding a file to the proxy configuration.

This isn't a new or unique solution. I just took someone else's solution and modified it to a multiple-site situation.

For future work: taking all the sites offline by adding a single file.

Taking a bold step toward 🇪🇺 tech independence.

We’re investing €75 million to build EURO-3C, a new federated Telco-Edge-Cloud infrastructure that merges telecoms and cloud computing.

Our goal is simple: to ensure Europe has the power to deliver its own digital services securely and independently. This project supports innovation in 6G and AI while benefiting the economies of all EU countries.

Transparency and digital sovereignty are at the heart of our work.

The notion of a broken clock being sometimes right is based on a gross misunderstanding of what information is.

A clock that always shows the same time is never right, even in the moments of the day when the time happens to be what it shows, because you don't gain any information about what time it is by looking at the clock.

This reasoning also applies to chatbots. If you can't tell whether what you have been given is useful information unless you alreay know the information, then you haven't been given useful information.

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).

Note that graphics/egl-wayland2 is added as a new dependency for
non-legacy versions of drivers. This is dma-buf based, while
graphics/egl-wayland is EGLStream based.

Let me know if graphics/egl-wayland2 causes new issues
and deinstalling it helps.

Great, just got a ULEZ fine for a Honda car with a cloned number plate in London!

However

I drive a scooter not a car
I can't legally drive a car
I live 200miles away in Manchester
Haven't ridden in London for over 15 years
I was mid air in a plane across the alps when it happened

My scooter was locked up and hasn't moved according to the many locks, multiple trackers and CCTV's in the garage.

But I need prove it wasn't me?

내부 비판도 거셌다. 김영, 이원우, 전규찬, 조혜영 등 영화제 집행위원들은 집행위원장 선임 과정에서 충분한 논의가 이뤄지지 않았다고 지적했다. 이와 함께 조직위원장(김동연 경기도지사)의 추천과 이사회 승인으로만 이뤄지는 현행 선임 절차에 의문을 표하며, 검토 과정과 판단 근거를 공개하라고 요구했다.

web compatibility reports about sites that block browser devtools need to be burned and the domains need to be blocklisted for eternity.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebruTimnit Gebru (she/her) @emilymbenderProf. Emily M. Bender(she/her) and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @jaredwhiteJared “Indie Social Web” White and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for ?

While I have no ill will toward the “ATmosphere” (Bluesky/AT Protocol), the contrast in funding models is hard to ignore. The fediverse's support from strategic investments in open infrastructure (like NLnet or STF) feels far healthier than ATmosphere's heavy backing from crypto-linked VCs—a sector often fraught with bubbles and social harm. I'm a bit envious of their smooth R&D resources, but I'm ultimately convinced that building on a foundation of digital public goods is the more sustainable path for a truly decentralized web.

In college I discovered I was good at chess, which was a surprise to me. My dad was into chess, and taught classes titled Logic; I was always fascinated by the exercises of those courses, but simultaneously, the men of that church community treated any demonstration of my success as a party trick
