Me neither, had to look it up. It launched on the 26th of January. That’s an impressively short run.

All live service games will end eventually but a two month run is ridiculous, hahaha.

You are a dog.

It uses Traefik by default, actually. I’m struggling to get the reverse proxy function to cooperate with me still hosting other things on the VPS. I use it not just as my Netbird coordinator, but also to host my Forge and site.

Could still be his lived experience through the lens of drugs and/or alcohol. I don’t really know anything about this guy, but from the other comments it sounds like he needs some proper help. Or maybe he’s just a psycho who likes beating up gay guys, there’s plenty of people like that in the world too.

Exactly.

I find it hard to not be sympathetic if that’s how he felt.

“When I’m standing by myself and three gays are next to me touching my leg, I get scared … I’m sorry. If that’s homophobic, then I’m that,” he said. “I’ll be honest with you, big gay people are scary to me.”

Touching as in like, there’s so many people you can’t avoid bumping into people, or groping? I definitely get it if it’s the latter, and I’ve met plenty of people who think getting a squeeze in without permission is okay. We have scumbags like that in the LGBTQ+ community as well, unfortunately.

Skulle dessa ha en svensk fokus?

It’s nice, the quickstart script is super easy to use and gets you started… well quickly. I’m still figuring the reverse proxy bit out, but it fully replaced tailscale for me in about ~10 minutes?

Wouldn’t be the first time people in power surround themselves with particular people to make themselves look better.

They’re willingly working with a company that’s trying to undermine how our job market works. I’ve no compassion for them.

I like baking bread. The other year after having done so, I went to the bathroom and when I came back out my loaf was gone.

Then I found it.

Mine has a permanent warning triangle telling me something is wrong with one of my accounts but it doesn’t tell me what or how to fix it. Neither account seems to be problematic either.

It also spontaneously updates and withholds notifications from me. I don’t really sit with my nose in Teams all the time, so every so often I’ll remember to check it and notice a colleague has sent me a question or something 4 hours ago. 💀

Honestly just give me an IRC or something instead.

Nope.

NetBird is European. The stack itself is FOSS and self-hostable instead of relying on third party projects, like Headscale. It has a reverse-proxy feature in beta that was also appealing.

NetBird also utilises Coturn for STUN and TURN, and I’ve other software that depends on Coturn, so that kind of went hand-in-hand.

Teams is such a stupid piece of software. At first I was like “well this will make organising things really easy!” but I quickly learned that everyone has their own ideas about organisation and the moment a new person pops in there’s a new way of doing it. The end result is a chat application with a fuckton of random files flying around, various applications just smashed into it, and it tries to do so many things that it barely works for the core features it should be used for.

Turns out, the best way to organise files was to have a common system and just use the regular FS all along. Who would’ve thought it?

It amazes me how far people will go to avoid giving a plant-based diet a chance.

I recently switched from tailscale to NetBird. Similar solution but FOSS and self-hostable.

Have you exposed the subnet the services are on, onto the Tailscale network?

I have full faith in her. Faith did nothing wrong!

I was debating even answering this. You’ve displayed that you’re perfectly okay with outsourcing your agency and thinking to something that lacks the capability to do either, and so responding seems entirely pointless. For all I know you’re just a machine outputting garbage based on some script. This is a public forum viewable to third parties, so that I guess makes the effort worth it.

There’s not a single problem with what you propose, but a number of compounding problems that makes the usage in general problematic, and disclosure important. For the sake of brevity, let’s disregard the environmental and ethical concerns of using LLMs and supporting the companies behind them. Mind you, I think these concerns are fully valid and in a broader context should most definitely not be disregarded.

LLMs are trained on massive datasets. The companies have time and again proven their complete disregard for where they’re sourcing the data. Here for example is an ongoing list of lawsuits against various “AI” companies but you obviously don’t need more than eyes to see this; how else would their image models be able to reproduce images of copyright and trademark protected characters?

The ability of the LLMs to produce code means that they’ve gobbled up large amounts of code as well, in various languages. If these companies have stolen other types of data for use in their training, why would they not have stolen code? Code also comes in various licenses, and you can’t generally mix and match these licenses freely.

Now let’s paint up a scenario. Say, ten years ago, a junior developer wanted to contribute to an open source project. Maybe their commit wasn’t very good to begin with, but people offered feedback, and let’s say eventually the PR was approved. The person came up with their own solution to a problem, and learned a bunch in the process.

Now let’s say someone tasks an “agent” with fixing a problem. The LLM churns for a bit, and then spits out a solution. Let’s say it works, and it fits the submission guidelines. Let’s be charitable and say that everything works out perfectly, the maintainers accept the PR and everything is hunky-doory.

Then a company comes along and notices chunks of code in the FOSS project are reproductions of what’s in their proprietary, or differently licensed codebase. What happens then? Who has the responsibility? Obviously the maintainers of the FOSS project.

The sloperator in the second example didn’t learn shit. They gained nothing of value, and the maintainers of the project now has to go through and remove whatever infringing code they’ve unknowingly added to their codebase.

A more common problem FOSS projects are facing today is a complete inundation of nonsense PRs and reports by agents run by people who aren’t actually looking to improve the projects. They’re just unleashing a torrent of slop, overwhelming the maintainers of the projects, and breaking existing workflows. curl for example are no longer doing bug bounties because people used agents to submit nonsense for their maintainers to wade through. curl is one of those semi-invisible projects used absolutely everywhere, and so them not being able to keep doing bug bounties is a loss to everyone.

Is prejudice a part of this? Yes. I do judge people who have elected to give up their agency and have a pattern matcher do their thinking for them. I think that’s pitiable, and I’m not ashamed of admitting that. Remove my prejudice from the equation however, and the points still stands.

Standards and practises shift from project to project. As we stand currently these “vibe-coders” are choking out a lot of FOSS projects while contributing fuck all. LLMs aren’t intelligent, they’re just token prediction engines, they’ll never understand why something is done in a particular way, or how it works, because they cannot understand.

Can you produce something good with it? Yeah, sure, if you put a person in charge to vet all of that code, who fully understands the output and the implications. At that point however the person might as well just have written it themselves.

If you want to use LLMs for some goofy one-off project for yourself, then go nuts. Don’t fucking spam others repositories with code you didn’t bother writing, just for some clout or whatever.
