This service is basically a nightmare to export/move away from. 30 minutes to switch to, maybe 30 hours to switch away from.

Recently redesigned it with SvelteKit/Rust and some cool shaders.

Anthropic's models are good. Claude Code isn't good.

> Anthropic shouldn't have an all-you-can-eat plan for $200 when their pay-as-you-go plan would cost more than $1,000+ for comparable usage. Their subscription plans should just sell you API credits at, like, 20% off.

Sorry, I don't understand this. Either you're saying

A) Everyone paying $200/mo should now pay $800/mo to match this 20% off figure you're theorizing... or B) Maybe you're implying that the $1,000+ costs are too high and they should be lowered, to like, what, $250/mo? (250 - 20% = $200)

Which confuses me, because neither option is feasible or ever gonna happen.

Copilot lets you access all sorts of models, including Gemini 3.

Lowkey it kind of sounds like capitalism is the problem here, not automation.

Haha, have you checked on it lately? You had it right on the money dude. The thing allowed HTML injection. It went from the N word and a couple emojis to downright ear-piercing multitudes of fascist /b/ propaganda over the course of an hour.

The whole thing uses Firebase (as all vibe coded garbage does), and the 'country' property inline displays HTML without any kind of validation, meaning you can insert script tags, images, or more excitingly: autoplaying videos.

There's tons of swastikas and fascist imagery that plays 10 of the same video all at the same time. It's really cringe, who has the time to make these videos in the first place?

Looks like something nuked through the rate limit though, because when I try to post anything, it says I'm rate limited by Firebase or whatever in the console.

Are you recommending that I run mosquitto directly on my Unraid server rather than Docker?

Just to re-iterate, Unraid is a proprietary Linux OS based on Slackware Linux. It is generally ill-advised to ever run tooling directly on Unraid when a Dockerized equivalent is available.

Wild, I was literally just today looking at this repository to see how I could do raw image thumbnailing in Rust. Coincidences...

Phrase-based passwords are far easier to type and remember than random gibberish at 20 characters. I would much rather type a 10x longer sentence than type random characters, even on mobile. It's far easier to validate a passphrase because we, as humans, will notice mispellings quite fast. It's only difficult if you're not english speaking, or have dyslexia - where I would refer you back to the original point: you don't need a 50 character password. Ever.

Honestly, this just looks like someone made a really basic writing app as a demo project on an LCD, and then their friend said "You could totally sell this" and then they ran with that.

This is a "solution" looking for a problem.

In all fairness, some of these things you've mentioned could be useful. If your battery is low, reprioritize the webapp's functions, lower requests, disable anything not necessary in the moment.

Notifications are just another convenient thing that me and you use every day.

Perhaps these things should be disabled by default, or requested upon being needed, but that's not really your argument it would seem.

I despise how my university's login system just redirects several times (sometimes getting stuck, reloading and redirecting multiples times, and then occasionally shitting me out on the logged out screen, wondering WTF happened).

I cannot fathom how their IT staff allows things to be that way. One redirect ideally. Two max. Three, and I'm assuming you don't know what you're doing, at all.

Then why'd you pick a 50+ character password? No one made you do that. That's your fault, not Apple's.

- As you said, it's a multi-platform account, so probably multiple devices in multiple locations will need the password. Meaning you won't have easy access to your password manager. - Popular account, so you'll likely be using it often, probably re-typing or pasting it.

Common sense says that manually typing out a password was a likely scenario.

Switch to a phrase-based password. It'll still be really secure, and you'll be freed from your self-inflicted woes.

No, the second paragraph contains the TL;DR (summary) being referenced.

The word TLDR appears in the third paragraph, but the summary it refers to is in the second paragraph, starting with the words "To summarize, ..."
