You mean people pushing LLM assisted coding, or github's own coders pushing LLM assisted code to production ? :-).

I am more inclined to think that it is the second, but if the reason is the first, what is particular hard to scale ? It's not like everybody is vide-coding into a single repository, so I would expect that most of the load would naturally be scalable by increasing the resources. If for some reason that is not possible, I would expect a corporation as big as Github to keep the paying customers working by gracefully denying service to the free tier, not to collapse like an house of cards.

FWIW, in my case, I am running the server on Hetzner, even though is supposed to have a bad reputation, but I have been using its IP for more than 10 years for other things (web server, personal services etc) so I guess that helps

And setting them up properly is not even that difficult nowadays

Why not optimized by AI through testing ? Give it a test set to work on and let it loose.

> There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. [1]

Note the `should` and the `obvious`. Is it not a strict rule about having a single way to do things. It is about the aspiration that, if you do something, there is single obvious way to do it, much better than the others.

(I agree though that not even this is true anymore, see how many different ways you have to interpolate strings).

> It globs your filesystem and re-reads AGENTS.md (injected in turn-0 system prompt) on every SSE turn. If you put a quick note in AGENTS.md to be read in the next session, you immediately force a full re-evaluation.

> Personal favourite: it puts the current date in the turn-0 system prompt and re-evaluates every SSE turn. If you’re using OpenCode at midnight you get a full prompt cache miss.

I used opencode with deepseek v4 via openrouter during the weekend. Openrouter claims a cache hit rate of about 95%. Maybe it can be improved, but it doesn't seem broken.

I agree that it is bloated, and uses a lot of memory and cpu. But I don't remember seeing any bug during its usage, or at least not big enough to notice

Some linux distribution will regularly check SMART data from disk and warn you if some threshold has passed (like number of corrected errors, spin up/down, total hours etc).

That said, if we talk about consumer hardware in a home lab or the like, of the disks that I bought in the past 15 years, only one broke down, and it did fairly quickly so my suggestion is to use redundant storage, make backup and change the disk when it breaks down. (Enterprise disk and usage is another can of worms of course).

Almost any other version control tool I have used in my life make more sense that git.

There are many reason for why git won, being able to use it without having to look up commands is not one of them.

And that stuff is often not just more expensive, but uglier and noisier. I ended up making my own “enclosure”

For example, Art 15 of the Italian constitution [1]:

"Freedom and confidentiality of correspondence and of every other form of communication is inviolable. Limitations may only be imposed by judicial decision stating the reasons and in accordance with the guarantees provided by the law."

A ban shouldn't affect the adults (and this is the same for stuff like porn). If you think that kids should be restricted from a portion of the Internet, have the tools that they use check who they are... but adults should be able to use other tools.

What I find utterly wrong is the method, because this way you end up tracking also every adult.

A better way would be to legislate that minors need to use devices specifically designed for them, so that they can be kept under control, and forbid them to use regular devices.

My daughter cannot drive my car, and I don't need to insert my id card to use it, nor there is a facial recognition system to ensure that I am an adult.

Banning the kids from access social media sounds like just an excuse to be able to track adults.

I was worried about not being able to send emails, but is seems that as long as you setup properly SPF/DKIM/DMARC you're fine. You may have problems if using a domestic address though.

For the configuration, the best bet is probably to use a product that makes it easy to configure the above three, there are a few alternatives around, like Stalwart [1] or docker-mailserver (which is little more that your postfix/dovecot/rspam combo packaged in a container) [2]
