I don’t imagine you end up with any head on your beer after this, especially coconut milk (which the thought of makes me gag, but you do you).

You wouldn’t believe how many rusty old vicegrips I own because of this sort of thing. Hell, I held a seeder meterbox on with vicegrips this spring, I’m one to talk.

Goddamn I hate mice. I just had to tear out the entire contents of a combine cab to get rid of their piss and shit, and fix the wiring they chewed off.

95% isn’t great. I run my own servers on solar and I don’t think I’ve had more than a hourof unexpected downtime in the last 3 years, excluding the usual update reboots.

You can glue it, it won’t work. When you’ve tried all of them, get a plastic staple gun and make it ugly, but fixed.

I don’t think you’re overexaggerating the potential backlash at all; especially on Lemmy. When I read that blurb at the top I was thinking “Bold move, Cotton…”.

I’ve vibecoded a number of apps that I haven’t released for about the same reasons you describe. What I have put out have been little helpers with miniscule surface area. But the bigger ones I’ve built and am improving have been tailored to my needs (or for our group) and help immensely. At one time I could have coded them myself (maybe), but I never would have gotten around to it.

What pisses me off the most is when people come down on a FOSS maintainer that uses it to keep up with bugs and security fixes because nobody can be arsed to spend any time helping them, instead they’d rather sit on the internet and criticize other people’s methods of coping with overload.

I mean, I’ve run across badly documented FOSS apps as well, but if I submit a correction, I don’t wrap up my ego in whether they take it or not.

If it’s been open for more than a week or two, I just delete it so it isn’t hanging around my feed. No worries, if that’s how you want to run your project it’s no skin off my nose.

But what kinda dweeb goes off on it in a Reddit post?

Interesting project on the novel writing platform. I’m surprised they did’t use git for the backend sync, it would seem purpose built for something like that.

He specifically goes on to say it’s primarily from dealing with anti-AI backlash in response to his use of Claude to help (solely) maintain the client: github.com/andrewrabert/jellium-desktop/…/609

If you set it’s download folder in the .env to the same as the ingestion folder for Calibre, it’ll just show up. Set -no-browser-downloads and it’ll just drop that into the folder and won’t prompt you to save it manually.

I’m not sure what the problem with the android version of Element X might be, it works perfectly for me and my wife.

And yah, I had high hopes for NC Talk, but it’s not worth the trouble even if you provision a STUN/TURN server.

Openbooks IRC download to calibre guacamole instance to fbreader opds connection. Once I pick a book it’s automated to the point that I find it on my reader index page.

Did you just link people to some fucking IP address and port to your vibe-coded dreck like a completely clueless noob?

This is possibly the most hack-handed “release” I’ve ever been witness to.

Feel shame.

I have a cheapshit cnc mill I use for PCB milling. It does the job and once you get used to it, it goes fairly quick. Challenge is getting the board to stay flat, because if the tape lets go, now your bit is digging for China, and no board starts flat.

But for getting a quick prototype with vias and SMD pads, I don’t think etching compares. I’ll cut boards until I’m happy with the design then send it off to JLCPCB for a production board.

The newer M-series have the RAM soldered on the board instead of removable. Typically that means they have a higher bandwidth to the RAM because of it, but you can’t upgrade to more memory. It’s an advantage if you’re running LLMs on the unit itself, but not much use otherwise.

The irony.

PBS has a host backup client you can install on non-VMs. You can then configure it to just backup it’s operating system files. This works for other Linux machines in the network including the Proxmox server, PBS itself or desktops. I even use it on my LibreELEC raspberry pi tv box.

pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html

You also need name resolution because service.host.lan goes nowhere.

In OpenWRT, add an entry in DNSmasq under General - Addresses of /myfakecomain.com/<serverIPAddress This will make every variation of service.myfakedomain.com resolve to that address (assuming you have the hosts on your network obtaining DNS via the OpenWRT router).

Then set up a reverse proxy on that server or whereever you’re directing that wildcard. If you have a lot of docker stacks on that machine, I’d suggest Traefik because you can just configure the compose files with the hostnames you want for that service, and it’ll update Traefik to redirect that hostname to that container. You can also add bespoke entries to Traefik for non-container services, or other services on your network to redirect towards.

That’s absolute bullshit. I ended up returning to Reddit for the technical subs precisely because I’m sick and tired of the smug cunts on Lemmy that publicly whinge about AI at the drop of a hat. There’s no discussion to be had on Lemmy about AI; it’s automatically a fight.

Reddit is nowhere near as antagonistic to it. I’m not reading any of the default subs, of course, but the technical subs have useful discussion without constant acrimony from people that have no interest in being there except to be assholes.

I don’t see that it increases the costs. I’ve written software and PMd other software builds in a previous life. Software has bugs and either I fix it slowly because I have to wait for winter to have time, or the AI does it while I drive a tractor for a couple bucks in tokens. AI can architect fine now and if you use your head, you can cross-check the codebase to ease maintenance with other LLMs, then come in and give it a final QA yourself.

I have a bugtracker I build into any software I build, an agent watches for new entries by users and does some preliminary work before bringing it to my attention and then every day I get a report that I can say what gets worked on while I have coffee. Honestly, I don’t care if the agent decides to refactor the whole mary-anne, it pings me perioidically in Matrix and I steer it around like I do my hired men asking which field to cultivate next.

At this point I have almost entirely vibe-coded software that’s been dogfooded for almost 2 years that works great and massively improves our operation. And I have a dozen other ideas ready for me to give some attention to in order to get them off the ground. It’s an exciting time. I love it.

I’ve rebuilt a few SaaS projects that I use so it’s under my control. Might not have all the bells and whistles, but it aligns with my needs better.

I rebuilt a simple Playstore task app into a multiuser fleet maintenance app for the farm. I’m not putting it in the wild, I don’t need that headache. I build it exactly for our needs and I don’t need to have to deal with users I can’t tell to fuck off to their faces when they get snotty about a bug.

But overall, this kneejerk “everything AI makes is broken” bullshit is starting to get to me. It’s pretty obvious these people either haven’t used it in the last year or so, or don’t know how to. Or they’re just performing for the internet, and actually use it all the time. I tend to think the latter.

I have the parts together for converting an older Ryobi cordless. Couple of DC motors and a Beaglebone Y-AI for the realtime RF5 controllers along with an ardusimple rtk gps. That might end up being a winter project.

I’ve built a self driving GPS for a tractor so this shouldn’t be too much of a lift.

I keep trying to use these, install and configure them, then never touch them again. I run across them when I’m roaming around on my one of my docker servers a year later and nuke them.

I’d love to find something that sticks, though. Hasn’t happened yet.

That was a .com moving over to I think EasyDNS. They could expedite the domain transfer around the lock if I could prove I had DNS access. Might have done that moving to NameCheap too on another one.

This was a few years ago too, everything has gotten stupid in the last few years. Maybe they won’t do that without a dispensation from the Pope and a notarized clean bill of health from the STD clinic.

You can usually do a domain transfer with a non-responding registrar if you can prove you have DNS control. It’s a manual process, but I’ve had to do it. It’s proved it’s worth to me to have them separated. Now, you might be down for a while, but you don’t have to go through a lengthy documentation process if you have DNS control.

And you should always separate NS from registrar so if one goes rogue or tits up, you can recover your domain.

An .xyz automatically puts you block lists if you decide to use it for email. Just sayin.
