Tailored boilerplate code

I can write code, but it’s only a skill I’ve picked up out of necessity and I hate doing it. I am not familiar with deep programming concepts or specific language quirks and many projects live or die by how much time I have to invest in learning a language I’ll never use again.

Even self-hosted LLMs are good enough at spitting out boilerplate code in popular languages that I can skip the deep-dive and hit the ground running- you know, be productive.

Take it to https://lemmy.world/c/fuck_ai we don’t care about this kind of rhetoric here

Which Calendar software do you use?

You can stretch it that far but there doesn’t exist a flatpak of pcmanfm anywhere. They’d have to have enough intimate knowledge of Linux and flatpak to build that themselves but then be so stupid as to format a question as poorly as my example?

I should note that it went on to tell me to run some flatpak override commands which I know would break flatpak, so it’s definitely making up stuff.

ChatGPT has become so intensely agreeable that you can actually ask it a bunch of technobabble that even someone who wouldn’t know better would recognize as technobabble and it will agree with you. See pic

I can post the details here.

please do!

You can only make jokes about the jews so many times before it stops being ironic.

Linux speaks for itself, it doesn’t need the advocacy of a nazi.

I swear I remember there being a website dedicated to documenting laptops and other hardware linux compatibility. Someone here must know what I’m talking about.

Took an angle grinder to a mini-ITX case to fit a full ATX size board in it.
The board is resting unsecured on an anti-static bag and has a few mm of wiggleroom.
The powersupply is resting, unsecured to anything, on top of the PCIe lanes.
The rear fan is pressed up against the back grill by cables.
The harddrives are just kinda chilling where-ever.
The cables are routed with hopes and dreams.

This is a hypervisor and is the backbone of all my infrastructure.

Everything I can see about this project still puts it far ahead of WiGLE- using OSM and not an outdated API key for gmaps, a website developed in this century, etc

This is awesome. I tried WiGLE some years back and they wouldn’t let me pull much data out at all despite contributing so I’m into this.

I honestly just use a shellscript bound to a key because I think all of the screenshot software on Linux is garbage.

I only looked at dumpdrop and it seemed fine, to me. Compared to other similar projects which are 10 times as large and provide essentially the same functionality. The world of web-based file-uploading solutions is fucked.

Can you explain the difference to me such that my feeble mind may understand?

Yeah let’s instead install a massive bloated shit project that the original developers left years ago and the maintainers don’t know heads from tails of the codebase because it’s too massive to maintain, with enough dependencies to make even a small child think he’s independent by comparison.

All so that we can, uh, synchronize a markdown text file across 3 computers.

These projects exist so that we don’t all have to re-invent the wheel every single time we need something simple. They have a purpose, even if they’re not pushing the envelope. I’ve developed a bunch of software to do extremely simple things for myself because all the existing options are massive and bloated and do a million more things than I need.

I’m sure your projects look impressive on your resumé, though.

people still use plex after the last sneaky they pulled?

Even if that was possible, I don’t want to crash innocents peoples browsers. My tar pits are deployed on live environments that normal users could find themselves navigating to and it’s overkill when if you simply respond to 404 Not Found with 200 OK and serve 15MB on the “error” page then bots will stop going to your site because you’re not important enough to deal with. It’s a low bar, but your data isn’t worth someone looking at your tactics and even thinking about circumventing it. They just stop attacking you.

Bots will blacklist your IP if you make it hostile to bots

This will save you bandwidth

Build tar pits.

Ah, open, as in not creating a seal in your ear, and not open as in open source.

I knew that…
