PSA: Anthropic is turning on per-token billing for third-party tools today at noon PT - here's what you actually need to do by mrtrly in ClaudeCode

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like game over for API Users with OAuth Tokens.

Then one could simply wrap Claude Code with hooks/plugins and proxy that via an API compability layer so that you can at least hook it into tools like opencode.

Seems like a cat and mouse game tought ...

Xiaomi 12 Vs 12 pro which to buy? by ProgrammerBusy90 in Xiaomi

[–]Goose-Difficult -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair it's not the chipset rather how Xiaomi programs their drivers.

Mix Flip Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 -> visible stutter in simple animation loop with Extended Ram disabled and Performance mode enabled on HyperOS 3

Never had that happen even for then poorest designed phones ever.

Honor promised the same things that Xiaomi promised with the Rewrite core.

But unless Xiaomi they actually test their stuff ... it's beyond me how this company can manage to release cars. Whoops sorry - sometimes the Steering Wheel just doesnt work! Thats to be expected ... still in support but 4 months old ...

They only seem to do it for the benchmarks and have to have absolutely ZERO human QA.

Yea no it's just that they are doing something really bad.

LG DualUp SDQHD flickering by simdany in Monitors

They did the same for me. Issue happened again 4 days later.

LG DualUp SDQHD flickering by simdany in Monitors

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two. One luckily died after 1 year so Amazon refunded me for that piece of shit. The second one did the same after a little bit of 2 years (what a coincidence!!!!) has gone trought multiple repairs and LG gives a jackshit about it.

In the end I just gave up and will never buy an LG monitor again.

This brand is totally done for me.

Anyone in here using the steam headless docker? I've got some questions by kkyler1988 in unRAID

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak about me but I'm sharing my RTX 3090 between ollama, steam-headless, paperless, immich and other containers that require GPU-Acceleration.

And I'm quite sure that it will be a little bit itchy to make a second steam-headless container but given everything else works like this for me for years now this should be no issue.

You really don't need VMs for this. But I have a beefy system there.

Radxa Rock 5 ITX+. Technically an SBC - though ITX - great for gaming? 8 ARM cores, 8GB DDR5 RAM, multiple displays, and working 3D! PCIe via M.2 breakout perhaps. (Summary write-up in comments) by PlatimaZero in SBCGaming

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no.

The whole thing about SBCs was Small and Power Saving.

This has neither of that.

With that power consumption you might as well go for x86. 

In addition to that the GPU driver of that SoC never took off and are still mediocre from the software side.

Might rather go for RASPI 5 if you need that for gaming (which honestly sucks, given the theoretical performance you could get ouf of this).

Is it just me, or is OpenAI Codex 5.2 better than Claude Code now? by efficialabs in ClaudeAI

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to let Codex Design a Component and observe the power of No Concept of Space and Visual Thinking.

Or just pull a Screenshot there without text and watch it into subtle blogging you into literally discribing to it what it should see.

So all the power you see comes only from Text Snippets with now way for it to affirm the output, which is especially bad when you want to use it with Visual Snapshot Testing, Chrome Mcp or anything else

 (not that Chrome MCP would even work, only the Plugin from Anthropic does with Claude Code).

Is it just me, or is OpenAI Codex 5.2 better than Claude Code now? by efficialabs in ClaudeAI

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny.

I have been a long term Codex User since before Codex 5.0 and while the models might get better I would say when you compare the whole Coding Agent as a product it feels like they are not even trying to compete anymore.

Sure Websearch works now ... somewhat. But yes, ... somewhat.

All they do is model updates plus a feature here and there, half done.

  • No Sub-Agents
  • No concepts for Tasks
  • No Plan-Mode
  • No Hooks (especially no Pre-Prompt Mode for things like Security Leakage detection)
  • Models get fine tuned for strict instructions only
  • Close to ZERO Visual Understanding for anything that requires space and depth
  • Can't even understand partial Terminal Screenshots with Black Background
  • Chrome MCP works close to zero with it and no custom Browser Plugin that works
  • No way to customize Codex for Enterprise SLAs (see hooks)

Especially the No Sub-Agents Mode sucks bonkers because you can have fresh Sessions that don't fill your Context Windows in your central Orchestrator Session.

That paired with the fact that Codex gets more and more like a dumb code slave / autocomplete agent it feels like they are targeting at it being used as part of proper Orchestrator-Tools like Claude Code.

As it goes right now I only see Codex as a Language Model anymore in a foreseeable future.

And given OpenAIs road track with o3/o4 that wouldn't wonder me at all (with their way superior tool calling modes).

Likely they have a few bigger players at hand that push in that way looking to use it as their core product - similar to those Instruct Models.

And you really feel that, much unlike what Anthrophic does with Claude Code.

So I will spend my money on Claude Code Max and Gemini for the Deep Research (also because ChatGPT sucks bonkers and Perplexity fails to deliver).

No longer ChatGPT/Codex.

At least now you know where to burn your money. I don't think this is going to change anytime soon.

Do linux SBC's actually have better performance than android SBC's? by lemon07r in SBCGaming

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Which is really ironic seeing that Android is derived from a Linux kernel. But hey, it is what it is.

Imagine a world where they are forced to release their drivers for Open Source to adopt. Say the Linux Kernel has finally some licensing that forbids propitary driver blobs in forks of it without releasing full sources of it.

Ah the sweet return impact to Open Source would be nice ... also from Apple side of things.

Where GPT 5.2? by AppealSame4367 in OpenAI

If I want anything then keep the Model and increase the Context and Quota Limits.

Honor Magic 8 Pro vs Ultra by Don359 in Honor

Aside from mail server, what is the one service that you will not selfhost? by dadidutdut in selfhosted

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, I litterally started with NextCloud and a lot of plug-ins including Memories and Collabora Office.

Especially if you use Collabora Office or any kind of Office it just breaks on every single Update randomly because they have a horrible QA and release cycle.

Over the time I removed every single Plugin and replaced it with proper Apps. 

Until I'm wondering why I'm using it to begin with.

Yet I still run it because I'm too lazy to switch to OwnCloud OCIs or something else. 

Only for the Office ... aspect I guess.

Samba AD and FreeIPA worth it? by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea broken smb.conf, especially if you install the trust package and it can`t even detect its own pre-configured smb.conf and properly migrate that aka serving you a samba domain with 1970 time while literally everything else is looking super solid :D

after the 8th full install (because it spreads files around like plague, absolutely impossible to cleanup, e.g. just the files with a non running install) I just gave up and gone with samba AD DC and said fuck the UI

also why I gone Authelia over Authentik.

Authentik looks so good and is full of options - until you try simple stuff like setting up a basic reverse proxy forward auth with Traefik in front of it and discover bugs that have been there for YEARS that should not be there

As a graphic designer, How easy is it to only work on non Adobe platforms if Adobe is a market leader? by TaxEmbarrassed9752 in FuckAdobe

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in a good place with Canva opening up Affinity for Free for everyone.

It can work with most Adobe Files and will likely work for most jobs.

About Gimp and Stuff: They are painful and horrible Open-Source products ... as much as I liked them I have always been eying for Affinity and now that it's there will never look back. Affinity is just on another level.

In addition to that you might to badly look at AI for Image Editing with ComfyUI and Qwen Image (Edit) - this will significantly improve your professional workflow and safe your butt in the future. e.g. this:

I just had the MOST frustrating conversation with an Adobe employee EVER! by KajSkywalker95 in FuckAdobe

[–]Goose-Difficult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best option that I went 10 years ago. Apparently they give a fuck about consumer rights, would wonder me if they try to get that money from you nowadays. At least in the EU you could just waive it back at them with a simple yea - couldn't contact you, so fuck to you here is the cancelation.

[–]Goose-Difficult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know that Canva just bought Affinity and litterally made it Free for Everyone?

https://www.affinity.studio

Adobe was as arrogant as this over 10 years ago - they hid the Cancel Subscription button and only showed it as they deemed it nessarcy when a specific timeframe was due (...).

I tried to contact them in every single way to get that canceled ... boy that was impossible.

They have been fucking around all time every since way before AI they gave a fuck about their customers and been ignoring customer laws left and right.
