This would solve all the issues actually.

I bought the server hardware 3 years ago, so when the prices of ram were also fine. Today it’s not fun anymore… I really hope those ram and nvne prices go down again! I can’t upgrade anything now.

Fact. I only use more then 1gbit/s for file transfers internally between computers or between the server and a computer.

10gbit fiber locally doesn’t mean I have this speed to the internet (I’m not).

We used to need tools like Hamachi back in the days. And it was awful, didn’t work and caused me way too much headache

Third guilty pleasure is 10gbit/s fiber network at home.

A second guilty pleasure would be looking at my grafana dashboards.

Pushing my commits that trigger my own gitlab runners that build my c++ application across 32 cores/threads homelab server.

Well that’s the end of reddit as we know it. Rip.

First stackoverflow. Next Wikipedia. And now reddit.

Wikipedia is getting the same faith as stackoverflow now.

I’m actually more in favor of more specialized wikis instead today. Like arch Linux wiki. Which I also contribute to. Or wine wiki etc.

Also I can’t really answer the question if it’s bad or not what happens to ntfy.sh since it really depends on how the maintainer is using Ai here. Whether he did test the code, and read all the generated code.

Ai in itself isn’t the problem here.

Indeed also read the paper called Programming as Theory building. From 1985. Which is very relevant today again. Since people lose the connection with the code due to Ai.

You can run my text through Ai checkers if you wish. But it’s not Ai generated.

I’m not just on my own instance. I’m the creator of the software: Mbin. Previously known as kbin.

People need tldr today, due to TikTok. 😅

Haha. I’m not a native English speaker. But it’s not Ai generated.

I try to keep it common for general people to understand it. If you have follow up questions shoot. I have 25+ years of software engineering experience.

But my point is that developers can use Ai, Ai tools become much better for coding, as long as the developer still understands the code. Since some developers don’t even bother looking at the code anymore…

Well. Maybe. But it’s more complicated than that. The moderator was aiming for me it seemed. I never had such a bad experience online.

I’m not interested anymore in Wikipedia either; they can just figure it out. I’m never, ever contributing a single word to Wikipedia again.

Somebody else was agreeing with me, so didn’t agree with the moderator either. But the moderator thought that this was an alt account of mine (which it wasn’t, it was not me). And then I the mod banned me from the platform. My account a 15 years account old. You can look it up, it’s under my real full name.

But ow well. I don’t mind anymore like I said. I hope there will be more Wikipedia alternatives.

Ai can be powerful and destructive at the same time. (note: I didn’t use Ai to write this).

Ai coding can help a lot in accelerating software development. In the right hands that is. Meaning the software engineer still reviews the code. Test it. And takes responsibility. In those cases there is nothing wrong with using Ai for software development.

The problem is that some programmers are using AI without even looking at the end results. Just approves everything, commits, push and release. That approach is wrong and especially inexperience engineers might fail into this trap. So in this case the code has most likely a lot of duplicated code, full with bugs and other issues. Some issues you encounter it for the first time, since it wasn’t tested etc.

In the latter story, you feel the impact. And the downsides of Ai. And only see the negatives of Ai. You might say it’s Ai slop even. Or vibe coded. Which is correct.

Tldr: Ai can be very powerful in the right hands. It still requires a lot of human time and effort to get it correct. And if the engineer is too lazy then you feel the consequences. If you got an experienced software engineer that takes the responsibility of the code. Reviews it thoroughly. Test all corner cases, etc. Then AI can be powerful and helpful.

Nope. Then I got banned. So I’m not finding it sad to see Wikipedia disappearing

I only know about PinePhone, Purism Librem, Jolla and postmarketOS…

Too late Discord. I will never come back.
