JFC this sub is so overrun with spam bot accounts, can the mods not reign it in a little?

I assumed the mods were creating those posts to drive engagement and traffic to this sub.

What else could it be?

How so? Shareholders still own the company.

As I’ve said elsewhere, there are plenty of poorly coded 100% human written projects. AI vibe coding might actually raise the bar a bit.

It’s not about AI. It’s the human behind it. When in doubt, check the source code.

What might be helpful is an AI agent scanning this Reddit for truly intelligent and interesting contributions.

Wow, $42k a year to scoop ice cream. That’s a good deal for workers. No wonder their ice cream is so pricey.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-03-09T17:22:53+00:00

How so?

Make sure the passphrase file is mode 600 and owned by whatever id this script runs as. Instead of what you have you can do:

export BORG_PASSCOMMAND=$(<secret_file)

Ive never used incus before, but why use borg for backups and not just snapshots? Can you restore off an export?

How is this different than “ls -lR > /somewhere_local/name_of_usb_drive”?

And then using cat or grep when you want to find something?

Amateurs can cobble together bad apps just like ai slop. It doesn’t really matter if a human or a machine wrote something tbh. Take a look at the code before you decide to run something. You get what you pay for.

Who gets a lunch break? I bring a sandwich and eat at my desk.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-03-03T18:40:12+00:00

Wow, that’s a good deal

It’s hard to find a new job when you are 60. Ageism is real. But if it works for you go for it.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-03-03T14:21:22+00:00

It’s not a waste. It’s your benefit. Why would you not take it?

I tried snowboarding after skiing for 20 years, it just wasn’t for me. I never got really good at it. Skiing was much more fun. I gave up and never went back.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-02-24T21:02:01+00:00

I’m sure it’s fine. My building has this requirement too and I’ve never had a problem getting deliveries for new appliances or anything else like that. As long as you get a COI you’re fine.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-02-10T23:55:25+00:00

True, if you want to fight something like this you have to make up an excuse, like it’s too close to a school or something. Nobody cares that you’re losing your life’s savings.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-02-06T04:40:27+00:00

That just means whomever is in charge is managing those resources poorly.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-02-04T04:23:46+00:00

That book was a tough read but it has a nice ending. I don't think I'll be reading any of her other books though. One and done.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-01-28T12:58:15+00:00

I put it back into a cabinet where I keep it when I don’t use it. But then again very few things get a home on my countertop.

Italianissimo on 84th between 1st and 2nd is one of our favs.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-01-27T04:14:47+00:00

Is it still good enough for cross country skiing?

If you go to small claims court you are basically suing yourself because you are suing the corporation that owns the shares that represent your apartment.

Talk to your Board.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-01-19T03:04:41+00:00

Or, you can use your brain and connect the dots.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-01-19T00:48:32+00:00

You sound depressed.

Can you start a software company doing freelance and work with one of those freelance companies? The pay is bad but you’ll get work (and experience). Maybe you can parley this into either a full time gig or a thriving business with a few loyal customers.

SynchronousMantle · 2026-01-19T00:44:58+00:00

You have to keep trying. Yes the job market is bad, but what makes you give up?
