So? Bad people can make good things. We should all stop using Linux because Torvalds is a dick?

No, it's what BeOS used to be. I miss the BeBox, just out there flaunting its true multi-processor usage with LEDs

I do not have to learn the intricate details of how to code a frontend with the fucking retarded functions

I hope this isn't your job...

If you don't know what you're doing, you have no idea if chatpt is doing it right. Spoiler alert, it isn't. Chatgpt RARELY gets things even remotely right, it's worse than a junior dev in that you have to keep an eye on it to make sure it's not doing something super-stupid. This requires that you know at least more than an llm, which requires that you learn. Llms should be used as a convenience, not a replacement for knowledge.

OR, are people that monitor symptoms and stress about it more likely to buy a wearable that allows them to do that?

I'm referring to docker bridge networks. old_main is in the 10.2.1.0/24 subnet and i'm trying to move everything to a new bridge network on a subnet of 10.0.0.0/24. sorry, i'm not exactly sure what other info would be useful

Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

That makes sense, except Google kinda does the same thing. Everything they have is technically just a "free tier" of the Google One subscription, right? I guess I'm saying that "free tier of paid product" doesn't automatically qualify a company as trustworthy for me. Is there something else that sets Cloudflare apart?

Why does Cloudflare get a pass on the "if it's free, you're the product" mantra of the self-hosting community? Honest question. They seem to provide a lot for free, so...

Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I'm doing something similar (with a lot less data), and I'm intending on syncing locally the first time to avoid this exact scenario.
