  Mine too

  I’ve been working on an app and it was fantastic for the basics, then I decided to refactor an API and Claude code would run for hours without really getting there.

  Also a good warning: I just had to completely rewrite an mcp server I had Claude build because when I needed to update it, the whole server was one giant if/else statement and utterly unmaintainable.

  That tracks with my experience

  You have to very carefully scope things for them and have a plan for when they inevitably screw up.

  No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from

  I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany deems DeepSeek as illegal content after it is unable to address data security concerns, and asks Apple and Google to block it from their app stores⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I will say it is fantastic you can run deepseek models locally

  Some of the deepseek r1 distills are still the best small models. The 8b ones are good and can run on a lot of devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty much my setup, it is not super hard to get working, it’s basically just copying and pasting the magic numbers they give you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

  I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

  There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

  The goth moth is actually a depiction of two ghosts arguing.

  A lot of the oil production is in the crater

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and we still wouldn’t transition off oil.

  I miss when the internet was genuine and weird and fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.

  Those who loved it, and those who haven’t watched much or any of it.

  And then there’s my wife, who hated Walter so much midway through she couldn’t watch it anymore.

  That was my second watch so not a huge deal to me, but damn she could not stand him.

  I can’t tell if this is the moment the meme has peaked, or if this will usher in a fresh round of memes.

  Either way, I’ll be in my bunk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not okay.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely underperforming.

  I let the plants that do grow there go to seed and it’s filled in a bit, but it’s not great.

  I’m in Ontario and I don’t know if succulents will work, but I like them and can look into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI search finds publishers starved of referral traffic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to Kagi for this and they have “small web” and fediverse search.

  They are a US based paid search engine and so far have not enshittified.

  They’re one of the few US services I kept (low switching costs, low lock in, and a company I like) despite otherwise boycotting most other US products.

  There are services line eazy backup or borgbase that I wound consider backups

  But iCloud or Google drive or Dropbox or onedrive are not.

  Aside from account deletion when you overwrite a file there’s no retention — backups should be immutable, they’re vulnerable to bitlockers, storing media on them can trigger hash based piracy detection systems (whether you’ve legally acquired material or not), and they don’t have a policy that allows you to bulk download quickly without interruption or rate limiting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI search finds publishers starved of referral traffic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People have been talking about it since Google debuted their instant answers years ago.

  Nobody listened or cared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not okay.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same

  They’re back, and they’re happy with my new of a lawn.

  I don’t think my lawn will ever look like a golf course, there was an above ground pool at one point so one area is packed densely and full of gravel sized rocks.

  We threw down some clover, there’s wild strawberry, one spot has mint (I’ve been told trying to remove it is a sisyphusian task). It’s cozy now, and I guess the fireflies like cozy, and I like watching them from my patio.

  Weirdly I’m polite to all LLMs, but Gemini sets me off and I end up yelling at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Open webui lets you install a ton of different search providers out of the box, but you do need sn API key for most and I haven’t vetted them

  I’m trying to get Kagi to work with Phi4 and not having success.

  That pi zero in a cartridge is so cool!

  It really shows how far tech has advanced.

  I know you could fit multiple phone chips or probably like an M series laptop chip (in the hypothetical world Apple made them open), but the pi and the peripheral ports hit for me that is a real computer

  I think the AI might have too much empathy for the role.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Willem Damoth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked ChatGPT and it thought for 8 whole minutes before responding with a Python script to download a screen cap and super impose a moth on it…

  I guess it knows it cans violate copyright but if i do it then it’s okay. The script doesn’t work because the screenshot was made up.

  Also it gave me successively larger hats for the moth for some reason. I won’t question that.

  I don’t have time to do it myself, but if someone adds captain moth to screenshots of the ISS Enterprise getting pulled into the sun from that one episode where they got too close to a supernova but lost engines, I would appreciate it
