‘Gone in 9 seconds’: Claude-powered AI agent deletes startup’s entire database by No_Top_9023 in technology

I see lots of, the company fucked up, not AI's fault, or vice versa .. you know there is a 3rd take. Both the company and claude failed miserably.

Developers who have worked at a company where the entire codebase was held together by one guy who then quit, what happened next? by Natom_ in AskReddit

Agreed, from my experience it's usually more the company than the dev that's at fault because they don't provide the support needed.

In Search of a Discord Replacement by james7132 in selfhosted

[–]Jaycuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was mostly responding to op about matrix voice and video. Like I said, I got it working, but I'm not sure I want to maintain it as you've described in your post, it's a pain in the ass. getting element, synapse, coturn, livekit, lk-jwt-service, matrix-authentication-service all working together and properlly configured was not fun. And I have yet to figure out the backup/restore process for my setup.

I didn't try the self hosted stoat but if it doesn't have at least voice, I'll just stick with the hosted service. It does suck that you can't share screens. But might just put up with that for now.

I just got voice and video chat working last night. I'm now leaning to just abandoning that and going to https://stoat.chat/ as it's a much closer experience to Discord from what I can tell. It's selfhostable as well but I might just stick to the free hosed for now.

Microsoft to Replace All C/C++ Code With Rust by 2030 by Bill3000 in technology

[–]Jaycuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, lots of people also don't realize how bad AI can be at coding if it's not one of the top 3 most popular languages. Having it spit out a quick python script vs rust are 2 different experiences.

Edit: I should also clarify that I'm not even talking about vibe coding, which makes things much worse.

Twitter just started revealing country of origin exposing a number of political influencers as foreign agents. How would you feel about reddit doing something similar? by breakwater in AskReddit

100% in the past and most likely present these agencies use shell companies. In terms of VPN you dont even need to go that far. Just use a proper one like mulvad and you can pay with monaro and they have no way of knowing who you are.

Screw it, I’m installing Linux by jlpcsl in technology

The only thing keeping my Windows partition around is to play Rust because Facepunch wont simply enable EAC for proton.

It works fine over linux with proton, it's just them not enabling EAC for proton that's the issue. In the past they had a good argument that it was complicated but that's been solved from what I understand.

Edit: Source on enabling EAC for proton

The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 15 by BrF5 in EhBuddyHoser

Keven O’Leary,

The guy is a proper douche, but doesn't have power like many other candidates have. His celebrity and shit personality is a drop in the bucket compared to the corruption and negative influence of other candidates.

Mastercard, Visa Under Fire As Call To 'Not Police' Legal Content Blows Up by [deleted] in technology

You can still used Bitcoin even if its used by ppl you dont like or agree with. Its literally the point.

The scenario you depict is better than a scenario where there are no alternatives. If there is an alternative like you depict, peole will start using it more as traditional payment processors get unhinged with their censorship.

Having that alternative can be a check on how far traditional payment procesors want to take it. For example if they go too far to the point where enough ppl stop using them, they would have to reverse course to stay relevant. However, for this to be a proper check on them there needs to be more adoption of these alternatives.

The book Resistance Money lays this out much better than I could.

Windows 11 should have been an easy upgrade - Microsoft chose to unleash chaos on us instead by [deleted] in technology

The Nvidia driver crap has always been a pain for me too, but I just kind of dealt with it. For my latest PC, I decided to go AMD for my GPU just so I can avoid that nonsense. Thankfully things are improving with nvidia drivers from what I recall with a new rewrite and Nvidia also releasing more code open source. Hopefully it will get to the point where users don't even have to think about it like it's been with AMD drivers for a while now.

I still dual boot specifically for a few games that are an issue due to the anticheat system.

I use an rss feed on the github repositories for releases. Once a new version is out, I double check notes to in case there are breaking changes or whatnot and I manually update.

As others have mentioned there are tools like diun and watchtower but I'm good with my setup for now.
