It's nice your co-workers are being blunt with you.

I wish applications like this could coordinate with upstream firewall like opnsense

Anything to fight the fragmentation that is for developers on Linux would be great. Packaging and wayland...

Maybe go third party for plugins?

Are you using intents or grammars with the speech recognition engine?

I think it's important to focus on the local geographically close group of people that we have relationships first.

Regardless of which way you slice it, it is really neet to be able to automate more aspects of our lives than ever before. It's not so much about the framework we use, the fact that we have the endpoints to use them.

> I'm asking this because I recently opened a PR to fix a vulnerability in an OSS project (RCE via pickle deserialization in Python). A day later, I got a fully LLM-generated comment claiming my approach was wrong and that I should rewrite it differently and telling the maintainers he could contribute "if the project is open to a more surgical refactoring." > > It's astonishing how often these encounters have been happening lately. > > I'd love to hear from contributors or maintainers whether this happens to them and how they deal with it.

Well, from the other side of the table, as somebody who helps maintain open source projects complicated by bounties. I've had automated PRs and replies from LLMs claiming to be people. I refuse to work with people or people with AIs that are unwilling to take the time to understand the challenges from a human perspective expressed in person to person discourse. People need to develop interpersonal relationships. I think what you're seeing is a response to what other maintainers are experiencing or, more than likely, the problem is as stated above, just from a different point of view. A human-first approach doesn't exclude AI-augmented solutions for technical problems. The reason code exists is to close a gap in human experience in software.

Claude really utilizes tools or develops its own tools well. If OpenAI could get their sandbox situation ironed out... I could switch.

I'm talking more about the plugin architecture not about the file format or third-party applications. sync plugins seems to be pretty limited compared to what's offered for a subscription.

I can't wonder if that's by design to make it hard for a plugin to have it's own sync mechanism. Definitely not proof of this that I know of, but a thought.

If I simply try... ssh user@100.119.230.104 it asked for a password, but there is no password.

The following documentation doesn't work obviously because it's not on path. I need to do further reading of the docs, but I haven't had time yet.

netbird ssh user@100.119.230.104 https://docs.netbird.io/manage/peers/ssh

If the VPN connection would stay connected despite having it set up that way in the web UI.. It would be a good product.

Still haven't figured out how to do Termux on Android with netbird ssh yet.

Oh, you've totally forgotten about selling to third parties and making tons of money off of what you do and where you go.

Yes, this is giving away everything about your vehicles driving to a third party for sale or, manufacture. I don't like this personally and I don't like it for my vehicle either. Where I go in my vehicle and when I do it is my business. With vehicles being IoT connected, we are forced to surrender that data as there is no opt-out except for disconnecting the antenna. Not to mention going in to be serviced what kind of data is pulled off.

This is a combination problem poor default (listening to all interfaces?) and also IPv6 can be publicly accessible. It's a bit dependent on how this is configured upstream by default, but this is a gotcha compared to IPv4.

It's a shame they don't have an actual application for a truly offline experience. If they had both, people could have their cake and eat it too.

Because the traditional web is dying due to AI. Search is now turning into read the AI summary. So, what does the future look like? I mean, how do we bridge the gap between where we are now and that future. I don't like it...

Wireless is just fine for devices connected to the internet but as soon as you want to connect multiple devices to do a heavy load, backing up or those kinds of things, wireless really does still take a hit depending on access point density.
