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.
Would you like some mouse snuggles? Cos this mouse would snuggle you.
What do you mean you don't know who I am? That doesn't matter. What matters is that if you need some snuggles — cos let's face it, it's rough out there — I'm here.
Words I never want to read in combination:

@alice🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄) I accidentally swallowed a MasterLock, please advise...
@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) 
I wouldn't be too worried about it. Be careful not to swallow a second one, as they might open each other when they come in contact, and no one needs an opened padlock in them.
Try sitting on a large magnet—that should help it pass (and might be fun in the meantime).
Damn, so #DeadCanDance setting themselves up on Bandcamp the other day (and apparently leaving Spotify too) was in fact prep for this! A new single which is also a charity fundraiser. #music https://deadcandance.bandcamp.com/album/our-day-will-come
Every now and then people share languages with very minimal or very uniform syntax (think Lisp, or Haskell, or Forth) and go "look, all the noise is gone". And to each their own, and familiarity goes a long way, but I think I've pinned down my feelings about it, which is "that wasn't noise, that was signal; I was using as scaffolding when reading the code and now I have to wade through every token linearly".

So today I built #OpenBSD kernel once more.
I'm playing like I was still 15 years old. It just gives me so much joy to do it. Like Linux 25 years ago maybe ?

Incredible !
Maybe next time I will try to remove all amdgpu stuff which is horribly big. We'll see kernel size and how much time compilation will take.

Toaster that doesn't require a subscription, can't serve ads.
Just released v0.2.0 of ties, the self-hosted federated bookmark manager!
The big highlights are website archiving and full-text search functionality.
This has been in the works for almost half a year. A lot of thought has gone into making this smooth to use, robust and secure by default. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback!

A pairing of works by two composers who exemplify pushing back against oppressive systems; both operate at the interventions oscillating between poles of hemispheric influence; both are embedded in film-music; the embrace of colloquial and popular musical idioms; the strategic blueprint of stylistic integrity; the yearning for home.

I know that you Black people don't like racism or racist people, but that's not what's important right now.
What's important is that a lot of white people *do* like them!
And when you read racists' own horrible words back to them, it gives a lot of these other white people sad feelings!
I know that you Black people prefer Bruce Lee. Especially Black people in Los Angeles and San Francisco and Oakland and Berkeley.
But again, this isn't about you.
I know that Bruce Lee used his martial arts and movie stardom to work *with* Black civil rights leaders, and to amplify their causes, and that this made him very popular with Black people all over the world.
But again, this isn't about you.
Stop being selfish!
