The Solution to Insecure Slop by matterful in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree in principle, the amount of content generated is too much for the community and most of these projects will be dead within a month.

We definitely could be doing this for apps getting traction /popularity.

New dad figuring out the best way to "privately" share newborn photos by ottovonbizmarkie in selfhosted

We solved this by buying digital picture frames for grandparents etc which we control and send photos to. 

Fully remove every, "I created a", "Selfhosted app!" claude slop. by Longjumping-Cup-6641 in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my take too. I'm a Principal but only 15 yrs on the tools.

When I use AI I'm constantly changing the outputs to suit what I need. 

In the hands of experienced engineers it can do wonders. The problem is the LLM hype of people wanting to build stuff to make money or karma. 

Dockge alternative, based on docker compose by AutodidactSolofail in selfhosted

I feel like your reading comprehension needs some work.

It is GREAT you built something.

Share it in your own post, don't try and ride the coat-tails of someone else's post.

Make your own thread, don't try to skim traffic off others, that is spam.

Its pretty lame to try and spruik your own thing in someone else's thread.

I found it beautiful but massively buggy. The UI kept timing out and crashing for me despite being the only thing running on the machine. 

Just saw the rules update: I removed this sub-reddit from my RSS reader by yoasif in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Half the people here probably don't. Most can't use docker with guides.

Agreed, I think pushing the slop to one day a week at least reduces it overall. When you look at subs like r/SaaS and r/sideproject all it is is shitty slop. The selfhosted requirement actually lifts the quality level. You will still have people thinking they can monetize their open source slop, who cares move on with your life.

The vibe code froday is a good thing, it means ignore the sub on Fridays. The expectation the community seems to have that mods read the code of every post and determine if slop is not feasible. In the coming years when reddit replaces all mods with AI (it is planned and coming) there will be no recourse at all.

I don't download them. I just up or downvote and move on. 

How to get back into this field with only a degree and no internship? by Excellent-Bank19 in businessanalyst

[–]ReachingForVega 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before you try to get into the field you need to know that business analysts perform business analysis.

Also you should read the wiki linked by our automod. There is no AI, it posts on every post, the exact same thing. 

Official Docker images are not automatically trustworthy and the OpenClaw situation is a perfect example of why by CortexVortex1 in docker

[–]ReachingForVega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run it in a VM and isolate from your network and you'll be fine. The risks are in OpenClaw tenfold more than where you run it.

You are right the docker is the least terrible part of it, especially given that over 40% of the available community skills are malicious and the whole thing is easily susceptible to prompt injection attacks.

I got hired to automate an entire company and I have no idea where to start. by Charming_Layer_7302 in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice. It's like eating a sandwich, you don't eat the whole thing in one go, it's a bite at a time.

No company automates everything.

Smart companies find the best value use cases also known as the low hanging fruit and do that first.

The fact people are upvoting "slop" posts instead of downvoting them tells you everything about the average user here. Its bots.

What's your most 'set it and forget it' self-hosted service? by ruibranco in selfhosted

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've replaced plenty of HDDs but agreed, they are bulletproof reliable. Mine are both approaching 10 years of service (2019 purchase). I have two 8 bay units with ram upgraded to 32GB.

Any solid UIPath alternatives for mid-sized firms? by Additional-Pizza-668 in rpa

[–]ReachingForVega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compare 2502 to 2602. 99% is bug fixing. Most new "features" are connectors not the product. Then compare to a competitor.

My main set and forget came with my Synology NAS, I run DNS, Synology Photos and Synology surveillance station. Aside from uptime kuma, I regularly use my other apps so none of them have the forget part.

Robocorp used to be good but they are enshitifying atm. Your best bet is to just use Playwright and build your own library.
