if you only have two weeks, pick one thing and do that one thing.

Don’t try to do multiple cities, you just spend all your time and money in transit so you get to see the insides of transit hubs and not much culture.

slop graphic plus systemd

this can gargle my ballsack.

You probably just want to run your own instance of immich

Yeah thats why I had to check if it was -that- dhh and didn’t share the article, even though he’s pretty much bang on in this case.

No, you’re thinking I’m at the low end of the bellcurve here. When you actually understand what the transformer is doing, you’d understand.

What you’re really doing here is showing yourself to be a mark.

lowcode environments are the O.G slop.

I’m not a slop jockey and I’m watching people plug these kinds of things into public data and having it do operations with financial/business impacts.

I’d rather employ a gremlin to write scripts.

I’m not willing to run something that risky on my own infrastructure, therefore I wont run it. I can do all of those things with a handful of scripts or Home Assistant anyway.

You’re arguing the wrong points. You didn’t really read what I said.

I don’t care about Javascript. I don’t want my computer catching dependency hell or cryptominer herpes.

I don’t want that shit rawdogging my system, go package it up into something sensible. I don’t want its entrails all over my system and I don’t want it breaking something elses dependencies.

Ha. Eventually, the bottom will drop out the market as low-cost NPUs pick up the model running. A good enough open model will emerge and there wont be a market for a paid model.

We’re already kinda seeing it on the hardware side. Eventually it’ll all dissolve into the hardware like how MPEG2 decode hardware for DVDs was once upon a time an expensive addon accellerator card, but is now fractions of a square mm of gates laid out as part of a larger assembly within the silicon of your GPU.

That was my first reaction until I noticed its object-orientated.

Then I baulked at having to rawdog node and npm on my machine.

no thank you.

Eventually the circus has to go away because the cost of tokens is too high - its literally cheaper to train software developers.

Also, the cost to business from having business-continuity-ending events is gonna eat some of these businesses.

I’m glad it smelled as suspect to someone else.

Its threads like this that make me glad that these people are running around making infinite work for me to be doing, fixing the messes these people are making.

Alas, noody wants to pay for the work to be done

The world is full of clowns and I don’t want to be in their circus any more

It is strange seeing the physical manifestation of a web endpoint, to me, in 2026, after decades of cloudslop.

Its just a computer! on a shelf! you can go hold it!

How dejected could you be when you can bring someone such joy?

pfft sure buddy enjoy your binary logs

You’re adding piles of nonsense ontop of nonsense.

None of it actually gets you closer to your objective.

Reduce and simplify. k8s and whatever the hell it is you’re doing is very much the opposite of that. enjoy yaml hell.

bro just run the fucking container.

That sounds heavy and complicated. Terraform + plain docker is super easy and makes the machines trivial to replace, as well redeploying updating their containers without downtime.

And I don’t have to learn a damn thing about systemd’s nonsense. Nor do I have to learn a single bit of k8s yaml braindamage.
