The only annoyance I’ve had with it is searches will sometimes default to another language, even though I set the language to only return English results.

Also, I’ve found that the image/map search capabilities are less performant than googles.

But I still use it because the search results are so clean and no-frills.

This seems like a great way to be fired for a misunderstanding. It’s not worth it.

Do you worry about the sus new maintainer for syncthing-fork on android?

Nobody has mentioned this, but you can use up to 35k from a 529 to fund the beneficiaries roth IRA. Normal roth IRA rules still apply. Forbes has a great article covering this.

What this means is 10k deposited into a 529 at birth can become a million tax advantaged dollars come retirement age due to a lifetime of compounding interest.

More importantly for the broader audience, you can open a 529 before you even have the kid, and update the beneficiary later. So if you have the money to spare, and you’ve maxed out at tax advantaged accounts for yourself, this is something to consider.

Solidworks not being supported.

The solution I’m working on is to connect to a Windows computer via moonlight for their solidworks stuff, hopefully freeing up the potential to do Linux on their main machine

But at least they’re paid

Seconding the request for details - how do you know?

<3

But yeah, fuck.

Oh that is bad. Could OP rename the title?

To be clear, this was announced months ago. Many folks moved to syncthing-fork on android

EDIT: I was wrong! This is def syncthing fork.

Given the need for a dash cam to be reliable, this is one place where I’d suggest considering a typical commercial offering over a cobbled together self hosted solution.

EDIT: I misunderstood - i thought you were planning to use your phone as a dash cam but instead you’re just wondering about getting the data off a commercial dash cam!

What does budget friendly mean to you?

I was looking into team speak and found this video that captures someone else’s experience.

Tldw; lots of super neat features, some clunky interfaces that maybe highlight how used to discord we’ve gotten

You know how your favorite show got pulled by Netflix, and you can’t find it without subscribing to another service?

I self host to take control of that back.

For frigate, you don’t need to have object detection on, if you’ll know what times to look for for footage. You can also just use the CPU for object detection, but ymmv based on performance. FWIW the coral tpu I use for detection cost like $50.

Do you understand why folks are upset though?

I have not had to look at the code for any other self-hosted application when considering whether or not to use it. You can say that this is a self-levied requirement due to the suspicions of vibe-coding, and I’d fully agree.

I took a quick peek at your github profile, and you’ve been working on FOSS stuff before LLMs were a thing (thank you!), suggesting that you are more likely to actually know what you’re doing. However when you say you vibe-coded up an application, you’ve placed yourself in the same bucket as the vibe-coder who’s ai agent deleted a database despite being instructed that there was a code freeze. Yes, it was a developing product, and not prod, but yeah you’ve advertised that you use the same tools and techniques as this guy, which does not inspire confidence.

Am I correct that a few of you are mad that I included dockerfiles and docker compose examples in the repo? Where did I go wrong?

No, we’re not upset about docker. Did you read the majority of my last comment?

Correct. Saying you “vibe-coded” something up suggests that you didn’t do it yourself, or at least was only loosely invested in it. If you didn’t put much time into it, then it’s not as vetted for folks. Running your code on someones homelab is then akin to pushing the new grads vibe-coded refactor into prod, which I think we all know is a bad idea. The mitigation for that is for the user to vet the code themselves, which we already asserted earlier doesn’t really happen in practice. So we have two options, either push the vibe-coded refactor into prod, or acknowledge that we’ve introduced an additional requirement onto the users to vet the code themselves. Both are not ideal. I’m proposing that it is that friction that you’ve introduced that folks are upset about. The docker issue was just brought up as an example of what could go bad by running poorly vetted code on a machine.

Personally, whether or not this will be maintained in the future is the biggest reason why I’m unlikely to try this. If the main developer vibe-coded it up, then in my book there’s a lower chance that the codebase will be maintained in the future.

If your response to “How will you maintain this?” is “nothing is owed”, it really cements the idea that this will not be maintained.

If an application is unlikely to be maintained in the future, then the risk-reward ratio will rarely justify me incorporating it into my workflow.

When you run a self-hosted application, do you first go through and read all the code? I don’t, I’ll tell you that. I’m going to assert that most folks don’t, and unless I hear otherwise I’ll assume you don’t read all the code for every self-hosted application you use.

No one is complaining about Docker, they’re complaining about AI

Also idk where you heard Docker is like giving root

If I’m not looking through all the code, then as a user I’ll just be following your included instructions, of which the recommended method is to fire up docker-compose. If docker-compose bind mounted mounted /, my understanding is that the container now has default write-access to the entire host - am I mistaken?

I appreciate the spirit, but to shine some more light around the negativity you’re seeing in the comments, it’s a lot to ask for others to run your code on their machines. If you want folks to be running in docker, that’s oftentimes basically giving root access.

If I’m giving root access, I’d at least want for the person who wrote the code to have a thorough understanding of what the code, which once again is running as root on my home network, is doing.

The LastPass hack a few years back was enabled by a self-hoster running an outdated version of Plex on their personal machine. There is weight in choosing what software to run and support in your personal setup. The negativity you’re seeing is due to the belief that vibe coding, while able to produce something functional, is not reflective of solid, sustainable, and secure software development practices, and simply does not meet the bar for code to give root access to. It’s (probably) not personal.
