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.

@cR0wcR0w :cascadia: Hi, yes. This is me. I am dev, sec, ops, management that has been destroyed making everyone more vulnerable.

Mostly dev, sec & ops... but there was some mild management in there (against my better judgement).

This is exactly the truth. AI is a tool. But it's a tool that has been given some kind of mystical authority over long term thinking.

금 가격이 떨어지는데 뭐랄까 달러 인덱스 가격은 높아지고 근데 미국 채권 가격은 또 그렇지 않고;; 시장이 이제 엄청나진 않지만 거의 희망을 포기한(?) 잔잔한 패닉 상태인것 같은데 이대로 가면 전쟁도 전쟁이지만 금융위기 확정?? 아닌가 싶습니다;; 사회가 망한다 이건 아니지만 자산 거품이 상당히 꺼질듯; 근데 이렇게 자폭하는 전개는 좀 진짜 의외구나 싶고요 사실 트럼프는 임기를 판데믹 수습도 못하고 처음에도 말아먹어서 이번에도 뭔가 그런일이 일어나나 했는데 이런 전개는 신선하네 (먼산)

I added diacritics support to Plasma Keyboard!

merritt.codes/blog/2026/03/13/

Now I can more easily write German words as I continue learning it, such as: über, schön, and Straße!

Also, I can sprinkle my lovely symbols in my writing without having to resort to the compose key or copy-pasting — isn't that great‽ 😁

Very satisfying problem-identification/solving just now.

Them: running `pkg install` as root refuses to run due to insufficient privileges

Me: Hmm, could you provide the output of these commands to determine which pkg is running and its extended attributes, whether it happens with pkg-static, status of mount points, and any extended attributes of the package database that might be read-only

Them: here's a screen-cap of those outputs

[output of mount(8) shows it's an ISO image, likely an installer boot image]

Me: Yep, there's your problem, you're in a read-only environment

이 사람이 예언한것이 근데 좀 안맞으면 좋겠는데 자꾸 맞는것이 좀 씁슬함다;; 가면 갈수록 대단히 안 좋거든요 이스라엘 미국뿐만 아니라 거의 지구 모든 국가가 헬다이버즈+폴아웃+싸이버펑크 엔딩이라...

금요일이니(?) 뜬금없는 멍소리하면 그 트럼프 암살시도 예언을 해서 유명해진 대머리 예언가분이 예전에 이런 이야기를 했단말이죠 이스라엘에게 매우 힘든 시간이 올것이다 서방도 모두 이스라엘을 버리고 중동 모든 국가에게 공격과 지탄을 받는 시기가 올거라고... 그래서 그거 처음 들었을땐 이스라엘이 뭔짓을 저지르면 그렇게 되나 싶었는데 요새 이게 퍼즐이 맞춰지는것을 보면 웃프고요... 영상은 제가 나중에 찾아서 링크를 달아봅죠...

Going on an international trip. I am downloading all the case law I can find about AI and copyright law so I can give the most informed take I can about "how does generative AI affect FOSS projects going forward?"

I'm going to focus on US case law first, including reading the recent high profile case that the US Supreme Court declined, but also the US Copyright Office's current analysis.

This is important, I think, because right now FOSS projects are moving fast to incorporate, but without anyone really knowing what the outcome will be, there's a great chance that, even on licensing grounds alone, we could be creating a huge mess for FOSS projects.

And (unfortunately?) my background in having done FOSS licensing stuff previously as part of my dayjob might mean I can do a pretty good job summarizing. Let's see!

If you have case law you think I should read, put it in this thread.

Bought a Oura ring a while ago partly because my arm doctor was hyping it up and partly because wearing an Apple Watch to track sleep is onerous.

I’ve been wanting to track sleep patterns against shoulder/arm pain. I’m also tracking keyboard usage too.

Unfortunately the only pattern I have managed to discern is: I hurt a lot.

@MisterOpenData Gibt es eine offizielle API oder einen Datensatz, der sich regelmäßig aktualisiert, mit dem ich die Feiertage oder Schulferien von Schleswig-Holstein oder am liebsten von jedem Bundesland erhalten kann?
Ich weiß, dass es viele private Anbieter gibt, aber ich habe keine offizielle, maschinenlesbare Quelle gefunden. Gibt es da etwas?

Drodzy, musimy się Wam czymś pochwalić! 🎉🎉🎉

Właśnie zdobyliśmy grant 46 000 PLN na rozwój Rentgendroida – narzędzia do analizy i audytu prywatności aplikacji mobilnych.

Dzięki niemu każdy będzie mógł sprawdzić i przeanalizować aplikacje bez zaplecza technicznego i podejmować bardziej świadome decyzje.

Wierzymy, że prywatność nie powinna wymagać doktoratu z informatyki.

Z tego miejsca dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy przyczynili się do tego sukcesu! 💛💛💛

Zespół fundacji ICD wraz z wolontariuszami UX. Agnieszka, Arek i Kuba trzymają czek na 46 000 PLN.
