Howdy

4th state: I don’t care, I just use AI to write my code.

Damn, also would break ublock I assume?

As a fellow jenkins miner. I know this red (x) all too well.

I ran into that when I worked at a university…

Yes.

I unironically did for production apps (some of which that are still running). The last thing I did with JS was vanilla. I’m a simple person.

No different than any other project the PM/PO team cooks up. Tons of work for no user base.

Just another silly thing related. I tried to view the magnolia bypass paywall clean on gitlab the other day (after it had the DMCA takedown) and my gitlab account got “blocked”. Maybe because I was also on my VPN? Or was it because I viewed that repo? I have no idea. Total shit.

Cool project, pretty pricey… Seems like a very niche market for something like this. Also, I agree with “ploopy” is a terrible name. Lol.

Never used brave, I think DDG is actually a pretty decent search engine overall. I use it as my backup to searxng and used it primarily for years now before switching to searxng.

Google results work fine for me on my home instance:

If it works for you… I agree with the general sentiment of “if its free you are the product”. However, I see kagi come up so often around here that I feel like it’s some astro turfing. I tried it and was not impressed. SearXNG is by far the best search engine I’ve used in a long time and the best part is I am hosting it locally on my PC, traffic is going out a VPN. You get the privacy and the best results possible since its a meta engine using many different engines.

Yep, I have an fully enclosed case. Only RGB is my water cooling block on my cpu that I left the rgb header unplugged. Even though I would never see it, I am a person of principle, damn it!

Pretty accurate… I am just realizing I’ve moved out of the despise stage and into acceptance.

I totally get it. When I travel I take caffeine gum. So I don’t have to worry about finding coffee or resort to a energy drink. Instant coffee I drink instead of soda at home. Lol.

We had an ai demo at work last Friday where we just were showing off a local running llm with some test input. Best part was the demonstrator had it output something unexpected and they were like “I’ve ran this twenty times and it has never said that”. Lol. We’re alright but it’s incredibly useful already it’s pretty exciting.
