Thanks for the write-up! I’ve been trying and failing to do DOOD and POOP runners via forgejo, but I haven’t had the time or energy to really dig in and figure out the issue. At this point I just want something to work so I’ll give your setup a try 😎

- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 week ago:
Auditing the code it produces is basically the only effective way to use coding LLMs at this point.
You’re basically playing the role of senior dev code reviewing and editing a junior dev’s code, except in this case the junior dev randomly writes an amalgamation of mostly valid, extremely wonky, and/or complete bullshit code. It has no concept of best practices, or fitness for purpose, or anything you’d expect a junior dev to learn as they gain experience.
Now given the above, you might ask yourself: “Self, what if I myself don’t have the skills or experience of a senior dev?” This is where vibe coding gets sketchy or downright dangerous: if you don’t notice the problems in generated code, you’re doomed to fail sooner or later. If you’re lucky, you end up having to do a big refactoring when you realize the code is brittle. If you’re unlucky, your backend is compromised and your CTO is having to decide whether to pay off the ransomware demands or just take a chance on restoring the latest backup.
If you’re just trying to slap together a quick and dirty proof of concept or bang out a one-shot script to accomplish a task, it’s fairly useful. If you’re trying to implement anything moderately complex or that you intend to support for months/years, you’re better off just writing it yourself as you’ll end up with something stylistically cohesive and more easily maintainable.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 week ago:
As someone who has been shoved in the direction of using AI for coding by my superiors, that’s been my experience as well. It’s fine at cranking out stackoverflow-level code regurgitation and mostly connecting things in a sane way if the concept is simple enough. The real breakthrough would be if the corrections you make would persist longer than a turn or two. As soon as your “fix-it prompt” is out of the context window, you’re effectively back to square one. If you’re expecting it to “learn” you’re gonna have a bad time. If you’re not constantly double checking its output, you’re gonna have a bad time.

- Comment on How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person? 1 month ago:
I tend to block at the user and community level, my only instance block is feddit.de and that’s only because I don’t speak German and those folks are such prolific posters it felt like I was touring central Europe every time I’d go to the All feed.
Blocking what you’re not interested in is the second best part of Lemmy, IMO.

- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 2 months ago:
I am a sysadmin with over 30 years of experience managing servers and networks for businesses of all sizes as well as for myself, friends, and family.
The FUTO guide is extremely detailed, accurate, and accessible. If does not always follow best practices, and it’s not a comprehensive guide to all of the possibilities for self-hosting. It’s not trying to be. It is a guide for someone with no technical expertise (but with basic technical ability) to degoogle/deapple themselves at a reasonable level of cost and effort.
You do not have to do everything in the list, you can pick and choose the parts you’re interested in. That said, I would recommend reading through the whole article as you have time, because it does a very good job of explaining the concepts involved in building a self-hosted setup, and understanding how everything works is the biggest step toward being able to effectively troubleshoot problems when they inevitably crop up.
If you have specific questions about things that aren’t answered in the guide or via a quick web search, post them here.

- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 2 months ago:
I always found this argument funny because how would you use pronouns for someone whose gender you do not know? They. It’s they. E.g. you are given the sentence: Jordan went to the store to buy apples. And you want to ask a followup question regarding how many, you reply: How many apples did they buy?
And that’s not how English was taught to me or 99℅ of the population (including English as a second or third language) 20+ years ago. Singular they was only used for situations where the gender (read as superficially visible sex) was factually unknown. You see a forgotten umbrella and never saw who forgot it: “Somebody forgot their umbrella.” As soon as you only got a glimpse on the person forgetting it you would make a guess about he/she.
You’re contradicting yourself here. You’re saying you were taught to use singular they when gender is unknown, yet claim that “How may apples did they buy” is wrong based on how you were taught English.
Does it matter whether gender is unknown or just unresolved? Not really, singular they is clearly intended to be a gender neutral pronoun and works in any situation where gender is ambiguous. It’s not wrong for people to adopt it as a pronoun to refer to themselves any more than it is for a trans man to adopt “he/his” or a trans woman to adopt “she/hers.”
At best your refusal to use it makes you sound like one of those people who gets offended at the word “literally” gaining a colloquial meaning that differs from its original definition. At worst, it presents as transphobia to claim “language purity” as the reason to be so adamantly against something that the trans community has largely adopted.

- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 2 months ago:
“I can’t see the value in this thing for myself, therefore it’s stupid.”
Some people use a whiteboard or notepad magnetically stuck to their fridge to keep track of things: shopping lists, to-dos, notes to other members of the household. Some people stick photos to their fridge. This has been a thing since John Fridgemagnet stuck the first magnetic plastic letter to his icebox in 1968.
Putting a screen in the fridge serves a similar purpose, with the added benefit of integration with modern online calendars, remote access to the whiteboard/notepad (in case you forgot the shopping list at home), it displays a rotating slideshow of photos, and adds things like weather and news reports that you can quickly check while you’re grabbing the orange juice.
It’s not a stupid idea for the people who would use that functionality, but the product itself becomes stupid when the company starts forcing ads into the system or intentionally hobbles the software that was available af time of purchase (yes, Samsung did that too).
I’d never buy another Samsung fridge, but only because the ice maker still doesn’t work after three warranty replacements/upgrades to a “fixed” design. My family uses the screen feature all the time.
Aside: I really enjoyed your pun. 9.5/10
