They're hoping one of the rich dark web drug lords that use the app will sponsor them with crypto.

They're big on dark web drug markets.

I only buy large monitors and mount them on my wall.

At first I only watched selfhosted media, but last 8 years it's been more and more Youtube. I'm not too happy about it, would like to wean myself off it.

I'm speaking from my own perspective here but scripted media is something I only watch socially, if my partner wants to watch with me. And I end up on my computer trying to type softly next to them.

All scripted media just seems so predictable now, I'm like Stan in that one South Park episode lol.

It also seems manipulative. I can see how a lot of shows just milk the story for more episodes until they can't milk it anymore. It doesn't seem genuine anymore, maybe it never was? Ratings have always existed, in my lifetime.

But the point is that the only newly produced content I watch is just regular people. One example is Antiques Roadshow, it's boring, maybe even "slow" TV, but it's real people. I much prefer watching real people than characters.

Something that really bugs me now is live action characters, I'd actually prefer cartoon characters. Because everything is so unreal and over the top, it might as well be a cartoon.

Most of my friends who use codeberg are staunch cloudflare-opponents, but cloudflare is what keeps Gitlab alive. Fact of life is that they're being attacked non-stop, and need some sort of DDoS filter.

Codeberg has that anubis thing now I guess? But they still have downtime, and the worst thing ever for me as a developer is having the urge to code and not being able to access my remote. That is what murders the impression of a product like codeberg.

Sorry, just being frank. I want all competitors to large monopolies to succeed, but I also want to be able to do my job/passion.

But I have been absolutely flooded with trailers for new and upcoming indie games. And at least one indie developer has admitted that certain parts of their game had used the aide of AI.

I also noticed sometimes when I think of writing something, I ask AI first if it exists, and AI throws up some link and when I check the link it says "made with ".

So I'm not sure what author is trying to say here but I definitely feel like I am noticing a rise in software output due to AI.

But with that said, I also am noticing the burden of taking care of those open source projects. Sometimes it feels like I took on a 2nd job.

I think a lot of software is being produced with AI and going unnoticed, they don't all end up on the front page of HN for harassing developers.

I got a SARS virus flying to Udon Thani in 2019. We were seated next to two thai guys who were so sick they could barely sit up straight. We offered them help and treats because they looked like they were about to vomit.

Plane lands, next day I'm sick. I was laid up for 2 weeks with fever, the shits, and I had a weird spontaneous cough for over 1 month after I got better.

I bet most of that plane got sick, and it was so damn avoidable.

Clearly we're not learning from our mistakes...

I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that there is now finally an appeal in Cockpit to be used as a NAS. I've been following its development for almost 10 years.

All I can say for sure is that it is absolutely useful, it has improved my quality of life without a doubt. I stick to the principle that it's here to improve my work life balance, not increase output for our owners.

And that it has done, so far. I can accomplish things that would have taken me weeks of stressful and hyperfocused work in just hours.

I use it very carefully, and sparingly, as a helpful tool in my toolbox. I do not let it run every command and look into every system, just focused efforts to generate large amounts of boilerplate code that would require me to have a lot of docs open if I were to do it myself.

I definitely don't let it read or write my e-mails, or write any text. Because I always loved writing, and will never stop loving it.

It's here to stay, because I'm not alone in feeling this way about it. So the staunch AI-deniers are just wasting their time. Just like any other tech, it's going to be used against humans, against the already oppressed.

I definitely recognize that the tech has made some people lose their minds. Managers and product owners are now vibe coding thinking they can replace all their developers. But their code base will rot faster than they think.

If anyone wants them to be user facing resources, then treat them as such, and ensure they're secure, and don't store sensitive info on them. Otherwise, put a service infront of them, and have the user go through it.

The S3 protocol was meant to make the lives of programmers easier, not end users.

This is where IaC shines.

The ones that make the headlines here on HN are not subtle at all, they're probably the bottom of the barrel of AI users.

I completely understand the author here, because I'm actually also leaning more towards avoiding supply chain attacks than jumping on the latest CVEs.

It's just a gut feeling, rooted in 25 years of experience as a sysadmin, but I feel like a supply chain attack can do a lot more damage in general than most unpatched known vulnerabilities.

Just based on my own personal experiences, no real data.

I'll try to put words to it, but a supply chain attack is more focused, higher chance of infilitration. While a CVE very rarely is exploited en masse, and exploitation often comes with many caveats.

That combined with the current state of the world, where supply chain attacks seem to be a very high profile target for state actors.

Been programming off and on since I was a kid, though I went into a career of systems architect instead, because I found the actual process of churning out code kinda tedious.

But I still had all these ideas in my head that I wanted to make reality, and now I finally can.

A project that would normally take weeks, and significantly affect the rest of my life, now only takes hours.

But remember that all those projects need to be maintained too, you can't just release a bunch of new code into the open source ecosystem without maintaining it.

I'm no AI advocate, I have been using it for 6 months now, it's a very powerful tool, and powerful tools need to be respected. Clearly this guy has no respect for their infrastructure.

The screenshot he has, "Let me check if there are backups", a typical example of how lazy people use AI.

But non-ECC is fine for most of us mortals gaming and streaming.

I would expect pro gamers to opt for ECC though.
