Here it is https://codeberg.org/gmg/concoctions/src/branch/main/sh-scripts/nixos-rebuild
(if you try it and find any bugs, please let me know)
edit: I didn't realize the screenshot shows just instead of nixos-rebuild... that runs a script ("recipe") that calls nixos-rebuild so the output shown is from the (wrapped) nixos-rebuild
The future is 3.0 quantum AI blockchain .com (also orchestrated application server RAD microservices enterprise edition, but TBH those fads weren't as bad as the current ones)
And there’s ceo’s listening to these ~~folks~~ fools [FTFY]
I think it's more like the other way around: the current exaggerated faith in AI did not start from the bottom
Honestly, do we need a legal definition of what "self hosting" is and what isn't?
I didn't see your post and in the modlog I can only see it's title: "Apparently I'm into Web3, says Netcup" [ed: Netcup is a hosting company].
If your post was discussing stuff specific to your hosting provider, then the mods did well in removing it - if you were talking about things that would have interested this community, then they have probably been too rash in removing the post.
IDK how much I'd trust them with tech stuff (not much, definitely). However I don't see how encrypted storage may become an attack vector?
I mean, they could clog up the HDDs with crap, but they can already do that via non-encrypted network storage (and in several other ways).
So basically... AI can be addictive (to vulnerable people)? Maybe the bubble will not burst then.
Here it is:
Many of us got hit by the agent coding addiction. It feels good, we barely sleep, we build amazing things. Every once in a while that interaction involves other humans, and all of a sudden we get a reality check that maybe we overdid it.
In His Dark Materials, every human has a dæmon, a companion that is an externally visible manifestation of their soul. It lives alongside as an animal, but it talks, thinks and acts independently. I’m starting to relate our relationship with agents that have memory to those little creatures. We become dependent on them, and separation from them is painful and takes away from our new-found identity. We’re relying on these little companions to validate us and to collaborate with. But it’s not a genuine collaboration like between humans, it’s one that is completely driven by us, and the AI is just there for the ride. We can trick it to reinforce our ideas and impulses. And we act through this AI. Some people who have not programmed before, now wield tremendous powers, but all those powers are gone when their subscription hits a rate limit and their little dæmon goes to sleep.
Looking at Gas Town (and Beads) from the outside, it looks like a Mad Max cult. What are polecats, refineries, mayors, beads, convoys doing in an agentic coding system? If the maintainer is in the loop, and the whole community is in on this mad ride, then everyone and their dæmons just throw more slop up. As an external observer the whole project looks like an insane psychosis or a complete mad art project. Except, it’s real? Or is it not? Apparently a reason for slowdown in Gas Town is contention on figuring out the version of Beads, which takes 7 subprocess spawns. Or using the doctor command times out completely. Beads keeps growing and growing in complexity and people who are using it, are realizing that it’s almost impossible to uninstall.
I don't remember them asking for any ID. Then again I gave them my real name/address and I payed with my credit card so... it's not like they can't confirm it's me.
(I missed the first part so I'm not sure I follow)
How are the the subdomains resolved? If you registered them on a public DNS that might be what leaks them. Otherwise... maybe your browser?
I moved to infomaniak because registering domains come with a free mailbox (or at least they used to - IDK if it's still like this).
It works fine with lego (as should any other supported one).
IDK.
I just asked this to perplexity as an experiment:
write a macos terminal command that makes a backup copy if all files in documents/ my home adding the current date and time to each filename
Here's what it concocted:
cd ~ && find Documents -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec sh -c 'for f; do cp "$1" "Documents/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)_$(basename "$1")"; done' _ {} +
Now, I am no "prompt engineer" and surely there are better way to ask it stuff, but then again a layman is no prompt engineer either.
So the question is: would a layman be able to provide feedback and have perplexity fix its command?
My "layman-like" feedback (now that I re-read it, IDK how much a layman would have used "recurse"... I'm doing my best here):
I want the files copied to a "backups" folder in my home. It should also recurse into the "documents" folder.
mkdir -p ~/backups && cd ~/Documents && find . -type f -exec sh -c 'mkdir -p "~/backups/$(dirname "$1")" && cp "$1" "~/backups/$2/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)_$(basename "$1")"' _ {} "$(pwd)" \;
Feeback:
it says "No such file or directory" (because of
$PWDpassed as$2- of course I didn't say this to the LLM)
mkdir -p ~/backups && rsync -a --include='*/' --include='*.*' --exclude='*' --no-links ~/Documents/ ~/backups/"$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"/
the date must be in the file name
mkdir -p ~/backups && find ~/Documents -type f -exec sh -c 'dir="~ /backups/$(dirname "${1#"$2"}")"; mkdir -p "$dir"; cp "$1" "$dir/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)_$(basename "$1")"' _ {} ~/Documents \;
I don't think I need to continue?
BTW: the LLM also instructed me to do a whole bunch of seemingly useless stuff, like giving Terminal.app full disk access via System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access (which I assume is actually a thing in macos but can't verify as I run linux)
edit: I hope I didn't misinterpret the bash commands (I didn't actually run them) and spotted the right bugs in them - even if I didn't I guess my point still stands?
Being able to use an LLM turns a layman into a coder no more than being able to use CAD turns them into an engineer.
It's a real pity that LLMs seem to have taken over as the sole topic of discussion in programming communities such as this one. It might be just me, but I find the whole topic barely interesting at all (ie. not more interesting than the discussions about stackoverflow coding we used to have).
Is MacOs "absolutely no cli"? It wasn't when I was using it (admittedly, some 10yrs ago), except maybe for the basic things which any mainstream linux distro also provides.
What about Windows? Back in the day I would have paid to have a semi-decent CLI instead of being forced to use regedit (I hear regedit is still going strong, but I've not touched windows for an even longer period than MacOs)
