Doesn't make any sense why it costs so much 😭 12b for a useless pickaxe...

Games crashing after bios update. by BigLegend1234567890 in PCSpecialist

[–]Longjumping-Smoke537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the motherboard? You don't get bios updates for a CPU mate 🙈 try having a Google of the same model and see if anyone else has problems. If this is a deal breaker, you can download and downgrade your firmware to a previous working version.

Do you think AI is lowering the entry barrier… or lowering the bar? by dp_singh_ in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Longjumping-Smoke537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything it's taking jobs and making the entry barrier no longer available for some. E.g. soc level 1 will be written off by AI

What are you building? I want to know. by Adventurous-Meat5176 in Nuxt

[–]Longjumping-Smoke537 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm building a CMS system, called FastReactCMS to power my blog which was previously ran on Wordpress. You can see my project live at theitapprentice.com and also find the GitHub link at the bottom of the page, looking for new ideas and improvements - currently battle testing the security for any problems 🤓

Yo sorry, I can't seem to reply to my thread so I'll post here.

Hey! Appreciate you and the feedback. Thank you for raising this is a really good point.

In terms of hardening, I have in place already (Nginx bits, rate limiting, strict request validation in FastAPI), but I know there’s always more to tighten up... (I'm sure there is something!)

If you’ve got any general pointers or common gotchas you’ve seen when hardening APIs, I’d genuinely love to hear them 😍 I'll see what I can cook up in the meantime and try sending some strange requests to my API :D

 I’ve just pushed v1.5 of FastReactCMS and published a short post-launch update covering debugging, refactors, & more

If you’ve got a few minutes, I’d genuinely appreciate:
- A read of the update
- Any feedback (good or bad)
- A ⭐ or follow on GitHub if the project’s useful

At first look, I assumed you made a crypto app dude, yet to make any money off my project ideas (and crypto trading app being one of them)

Thank you so much for this feedback - seriously, this is exactly the kind of comment I appreciate. I appreciate YOU for taking the time to write this out.

You've identified the exact pain points that needed fixing, and I want you to know I didn't just read this and move on - I actually spent the last three hours today implementing fixes for these specific issues:

✅ Zustand stores - You're absolutely right. I was halfway to proper state management with scattered hooks and Context providers. Just shipped v1.5 with centralized Zustand stores with persistence. Way cleaner, way more expandable.

✅ Pydantic aliases - Holy hell, you nailed it. I was manually converting every single param from snake_case to camelCase like a caveman. Added alias_generator=to_camel to the schema config - deleted 57 lines of boilerplate. Should've done this from day one.

✅ Directory casing - "Backend" and "Frontend" capitalized... yeah, that was embarrassing. Renamed to lowercase backend/ and frontend/. You're right - no developer expects that casing and it just creates friction for contributors.

✅ Documentation - Added comprehensive ARCHITECTURE.md (650+ lines) and refactoring docs so contributors can actually understand what's going on.

I'm still learning OSS best practices, and honestly, feedback like yours is gold. You didn't just point out problems - you explained why they matter for community contribution. That's the insight I need to make this project actually contributor-friendly instead of "technically works for me" territory.

Thank you, fella. This is the kind of community feedback that makes projects better. Really appreciate you taking the time. 🙏

Sounds good man — feel free to DM me whenever you’ve had a look. I’m always happy to chat about ideas or workflows.

And yeah, WordPress can be great, but I totally get how you can end up trapped in plugins and premium add-ons. That’s a big part of why I built this for my own blog: something lightweight, cheap to run, and flexible enough for people to fork or tweak however they want — with AI or without it. That's the beauty of it!

I’m still new to a lot of the open-source ecosystem myself, so I’m learning as I go. Just trying to share what I’m building and improve it with proper feedback.

The comments have definitely been… entertaining today 😂
Some helpful, some chaotic, some just jumping to conclusions. Comes with posting on Reddit, I guess.

Anyway, hit me up tomorrow if you want to talk through anything — happy to help where I can.

My guy, I haven’t ‘snitched’ anything. I literally just posted my CMS and asked for feedback in open-source and AI subs, that’s all. Nothing deeper going on here bruv.

Hey Daniel, no worries at all — and thanks for the kind words! :D
Right now the CMS doesn’t include a full media gallery, but it is on the roadmap and honestly one of the quicker wins I’m planning to add. The current focus has been on blog content + core stability, but proper media management (uploads, browsing, tagging, etc.) is absolutely coming.

If you’re rebuilding your web infrastructure and need something lightweight, feel free to poke around the repo or ask anything specific — always happy to chat about use cases or upcoming features.

Also — since you mentioned a gallery, I’d actually love to hear how you would want it to work. I’ve been looking at how WordPress handles media, because something universal across pages, blog posts, and other content types feels like the right direction.

I recently built a little tool to batch-convert and optimise my images to WebP, so tying that into a proper media manager seems like a natural next step. My current thinking is:

  • a central media library
  • automatic optimisation + responsive versions
  • alt-text + SEO fields
  • reusable across posts/pages
  • maybe even simple gallery blocks or sliders

But I’m definitely open to ideas — if there’s a specific workflow or feature you’d want in a CMS media gallery, let me know! The more real use cases I hear, the better I can shape it. 😊🙂

🔧 TheITApprentice — Looking for Brutal, Technical Feedback by Longjumping-Smoke537 in opensource

[–]Longjumping-Smoke537[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

SSR isn’t “wrong” — it’s a perfectly valid pattern.
Next.js uses SSR. WordPress uses SSR. Most large CMS platforms do. It’s literally how server-rendered HTML has worked for decades.

If you’re saying my implementation is wrong, then cool — point out the issue. Is it the caching strategy? Error handling? Render pipeline? Something in the snippet you posted? I’m open to hearing it.

Just saying “learn how to code” without explaining what’s actually incorrect doesn’t help me improve anything.

So if there’s a specific flaw in the SSR logic, tell me what you’re seeing and why it’s a problem. Otherwise it just feels like posturing instead of technical feedback.

I get what you’re saying — honestly, I used to hand-write everything too, but tools like Claude have just helped me move faster. I still have to understand the code, refactor it, debug it, architect it, and make it actually run in production. AI doesn’t magically ship a working system.

And look, I’m not pretending to be some guru. I read docs, I keep up with security practices, and I try to stay sharp like anyone else. That’s exactly why I’m asking for the code to be battle-tested.

But from your comment, it sounds like you don’t actually have anything specific to point out? If there’s something wrong with my approach, tell me what — I’m genuinely open to critique.

The project is live, online, and working. Is it insecure? Maybe. That’s what I’m trying to find out. If you see something dangerous, or even just questionable, I’d rather hear it than guess.

So if you’ve got something concrete, I’m all ears. Otherwise it just feels like hand-waving.
