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.

So, it is early on, but I am starting a new project. I call it ashwid.

"A SHell [script] WIll Do"

For all the little scripts I have written over the years that occasionally replace very large, complicated GUI programs. Stuff like how I unload pictures from my DSLR, and how I pick which wireguard tunnel I want to bring up. Today's adventures with bsddialog were a part of making some of them friendly enough to share.

Specials thanks to @stefanoStefano Marinelli and @simmoril for their initial suggestions and support.

Canadian friends who drive: Transport Canada is soliciting feedback on ultra-bright vehicle headlights and headlight glare at night.

I encourage you to give them data on your experience, so that they might update the regulations to stop SUVs from routinely blinding me with their factory-fitted Nuclear Fireball 9000 LED Darkness Devastators Shock And Awe Edition headlights aimed directly into my face and eyes.

estrattonbailey commented 34 minutes ago

We're working to improve image quality on Bluesky. As a first effort, we're increasing the image resolution from a max of 2000px width/height to 4000px.

This is feature gated while we measure the impact to our image and moderation pipelines.

From Monday: Talarico—whose central message is that it’s about not left versus right, but top versus bottom—is going to have to meaningfully engage with and accept the critiques of Black voters and politicos and give those voters substantive policy that renders them as seen, full humans with separate, unique concerns that white voters do not have. texasobserver.org/texas-talari

“Nobody ever told me that the hardest part of living under authoritarianism—especially Singapore’s insidious, “soft” version that seems to be becoming attractive to other governments around the world—is not what they do to you, but what they make you do to yourself and to the people around you”
