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.

Do I know anyone who can recommend a general instance for readers, preferably one that's not weird about genre romance?

My current instance will go offline in April, so I have just about two weeks to move elsewhere.

(Any help with how to do the move would also be greatly appreciated--I know I saved the instructions somewhere but my brain quit on me sometime in late 2025 and I cannot find any links to save my life).

Thank you in advance.

"Within days, oily “black rain” began to fall across Tehran. It came down as dense, dark water that residents said burned their eyes and scratched at their throats.

According to scientists, the rain formed when soot and fine particulate matter from burning oil depots and storage tanks mixed with a storm system moving across the region. What fell was not just dirty rain but a chemical cocktail—a mix of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, heavy metals, and fine particulates."

또 한 가지 걱정되는 게 있다면, 루트 님한테 이래저래 깨져가면서 기술적 대화법을 익혔어, 논리적으로 나아졌다고 쳐.
그럼 기존 내 주변인, 특히 호적메이트들과 어떻게 대화할지 고민이 된다.
저는 밑바닥이면, 지하도 있습니다...

I will wake up as a peach tomorrow

A remarkable miniature from the Kitab al-Bulhan illustrates a unique biological myth: an entirely female society that sustains itself through botanical reproduction. The painting shows human figures growing like ripened fruit from the branches of the Waq-Waq tree. According to legend, once these figures reach maturity, they detach and fall to the earth, crying 'Waq-Waq!'—a sound that gives both the island and the tree their name.


The Arabic text at the top of the image reads:
القول على شجرة الواق واق (Al-qawl 'ala shajarat al-Waq Waq) This translates literally to: Discourse on the Waq Waq Tree.

The problem isn't convincing your audience that I'm wrong, it's *proving to everyone you can, yourself included* that I'm wrong.

Whataboutism, Gish galloping, ignoring burden of proof, relying on biased estimates, assuming inevitability, appealing to distorted understandings of "harm reduction," conflating sci-fi tropes with marketing terminology, all of that is just rhetoric. It doesn't address the substance of the problem.

일본 사람들이
한국인은 한글 쓰는데 한자 이름이 있어?라고 하는데
알기 쉽게 설명하자면
출생신고 할 때 신고서에 한글이랑 한자이름 적고
그게 호적같은거랑 주민표 같은거에 올라가는데
사실 2007년 전까지 쓰던 한국의 호적 시스템의 근본이 일본에서 온거라서 2000년보다 더 전에 전자화가 안된 호적은 이름을 한자로만 적었다고 하면
뭐어어어엇
:blobcat_fu_surprised4b:​❓️ 하는 얼굴 됌

전자화 시대가 오고 나선 일본인들 이름이 한자랑 후리가나로 관리된다고 치면
한국인의 이름은 후리가나랑 한글란을 반대로 쓰는 느낌이라 한글이 우선적으로 쓰이는거다라고 설명하면
:blobcat_fu_surprised4b:정말 알기 쉬웠어요!! 라고 해주심

지금다니는 이 블랙회사 아직도 우크라이나에 상주하는 직원이 몇백명씩 있는 모양임; 직원들 상황 업데이트글이 회사 내부 홈피에 올라왔는데 매일 근처에서 쾅쾅 터지긴해도 출근하고 일하는 모양; 이런거보면 대부분 민간인 입장에서는 전쟁이 일어나고 피난을 못했다면 계속 일해야하는것임 ㅎㅎ...

RE: mastodon.social/@tbernard/1162

I listened to the newest episode of @solarcast with @zelf and @tbernardTobias Bernard today and it was so so good! Really impressed with the work that so many of the people around me are doing lately and feel so lucky I am in a place in the world that I can also hang out with them in AFK once in a while.
