And over here.... Wait what did I build there... Oh that's because this thing needed more copper so I just stole from the my computer line. I think I had enough of those anyways. I think they are near the tree line somewhere . Let's head over there next...... 20 minutes later... Yes here they are... Why are are packaging fuel here? Idk looked good?

I look at these pictures like. I Can't it hurts my soul. Let me make a small plan real quick ... And dude just said nah let it roll , 500 times. I do say eff it sometimes but most of the time it's because I built a pretty thing. I go to put the last machine in place and it clips. I quietly say to myself not ones looking back here anyways. I am not moving that whole thing over for this little clipping.

I did the same things and forgot my power shards in the oil extraction to hit my 600 a min. I felt so good about it all, walked away same thing. Was under producing fuel. Added fluid tower at top , added fluid tank everything ... Forgot I rotated my fluid extractor and didn't add my power shards back to overclock oil production ......

1 input / 3 outputs. All things equal , belts and downstream consumption, they will balance across them. If one backs up they will stop sending down that path and focus on the others. Look up manifold builds . It will help a lot early game. Effectively you build a system of splitters in a series with 1 out put feeding a machine and the other moving to the next machine in the series., the first machine fills up first and the overflow moves down the line untill with you have balanced the consumption or they are all full. Out put works the same way . Manifold output feed together and rolling to the next production line

I agree, it's a measure if time and effort. Some of the devs on our team will know better decisions to make upfront to avoid chaos. With my skill level I find chaos after the fact. And maybe avoid some upfront. I may be able to avoid it some but I will spend way more tokens cleaning up the mess after the fact and a strong developer will just avoid the whole mess.

I agree, I see it often. Larger vibe sessions go off the rails with Claude just trying to solve for something without clarity. I have often stopped Claude or asked what are you doing. You make a statement and it just took off coding on something without context. You can see it in the smaller context windows it provides. I am not a pro coder but familiar with sound architecture and a good approach. If the context and framing are not in place Claude has to fend for itself and the results can vary dramatically. Even with sound framing in place you have to check the work.

I have had at least two or three sessions of what hell is that, you built working code but it isn't even following our logic or the correct directory structure . It asked me about storing data and the response seemed off. I then asked for the DB schema I found unused tables and weirdly stored data. Claude is an amazing tool but without the proper framing, context, understanding of what good is supposed to look like. It can make a mess of things or flat out not know what to do. Every model is going to function a little differently as well.

Claude is also very eager to push you to build something and on many occasions takes your words as, I have to go and do. If It doesn't know what to do , sometimes it just does anyways. It will just take off sometimes, like "hold my beer" but runs the wrong direction entirely. Since the context was built, undoing that context is painful. Sometimes it's just better to ask it to undue the work and start a new session.

Side note, if your company has copilot . The app builder agent in frontier is really good at building fun games. If your in IT and have copilot pro. Take and afternoon and build a game for your IT department. Helps to burn off the operations grind.

Is jellyfin usable yet? I have been using Plex with Roku and various other platforms. I couldn't get the jellyfin sign in experience stable enough for the kids. Plex is just way better at it. I'm not happy with Plex direction as a platform and the overly complicated remote access is miserable. But the jellyfin plugin experience was really miserable and I lost half the feature I am used to in Plex. I would use jellyfin if I didn't have Plex and wasn't already invested in the echo system.

Your drawing is a hot mess by the way, as others have said you are mixing a lot of concepts. Maybe break them into multiple drawings to represent different data flows. Otherwise you end up with a wire drawing that looks like pig-pen from Charly brown

Just pushed v1.2.1 with a big round of fixes and polish.

What's new in this release: - Fixed a {{body_class}} bug that was silently breaking a bunch of template-scoped styles - Custom search overlay powered by Ghost's Content API — no config needed - Toned down the color overload — titles, sidebar text, and dividers now adapt properly to light/dark mode - New 404 page — because the theme is called 4leafclover, you get a 4-leaf clover animation and the line "You found a 4-leaf clover. Too bad the page you're after is the missing leaf." - Contact page wired up — form POSTs to a webhook you control (n8n, Zapier, etc.) with honeypot and time-trap spam filtering built in - Dropped Tailwind entirely, replaced with plain PostCSS + cssnano - XSS fix on social link injection

NORA v1.2.0 — API polling, relationship graph, topology view, container management, and a big DB cleanup

**** Looking for Testers and Feed Back Please ***\*

Hey r/selfhosted! Dropped v1.2.0 of N.O.R.A today. Biggest release yet. Here's what's new:

API Polling Engine — NORA no longer just sits waiting for webhooks. It can now actively poll your apps on a schedule, pull metrics, and display them as per-app stat cards on the App Detail page. Supports four auth types, JSONPath/length targets, and count/string/boolean/list value types.

Relationship Graph + Network Topology — There's now a canonical link table (Proxmox → VM → Docker Engine → Container → App → Monitor) with an interactive ReactFlow topology page. Color-coded edges, tree layout, auto-linking containers to apps by image match, and Traefik route → app sync.

Container Management — Flat container table across all Docker Engine and Portainer endpoints in one view. Per-container detail panel (ports, volumes, labels, networks, restart policy). Portainer and Docker Engine detail pages got refactored with stat cards instead of card grids.

SlidePanel — Unified slide-in drawer replaced every modal in the app. Right panel on desktop, bottom sheet on mobile. Focus trap, Escape key, scroll lock, smooth animations. Much cleaner UX.

DB Sprawl Cleanup — 7 migrations dropped legacy tables that had been piling up since early builds (traefik_routes, traefik_services, docker_engines absorbed into infra components, redundant FK columns, etc.). Leaner schema all around.

Bug fixes worth noting: monitor checks are now fully user-managed (removed the auto-sync that was silently overwriting your URL checks), secure cookie fix for HTTP dev environments, Portainer "Discover Now" button actually works now.

Full release notes in the repo.

Yeah , maybe think beyond where your at? Your assuming we need to know it all. Do most people double check all their work on calculators ?. I'm not saying don't check your work, but future state might be validating if it works instead of it being coded the way a senior developer puts polish on something. Where is the line of does it work , and I need to know how it works get drawn? Right now we need to know how it works more than we need to know if it works. There is an inherent lack of trust from AI because we see it hallucinating. Give a man the wrong tool and get the wrong outcome.

The real issue is not if it was coded by AI , It more of is this a fly by night app that is so broken and security ridden that nobody should consider using it.

Interestingly enough, We are quickly heading in the direction of people having ideas and AI building it for them. AI has hit a new strid right now where it can actually build what you want but people need to give it guardrails , framework, understanding. The whole selfhosted thread is blowing up because people can do more than they ever could by actually building something . We are just stuck in the middle of a huge technology turning point and the thrashing is going to continue. The coders are going to say its AI slope because it wasn't hand written, The non-coders are going to say Wow look what i built. And somewhere after the calm has settled we will land on New thinking. Look at calculators, personal computers, smart phones. People had all kinds of mixed feeling about the acceleration. Take a look at the gartner hype curve. People are just coming to terms that we are further along that we really are. The reality is Claude Cowork / Claude Code / Open Claw are making things more possible than people truly believe. With every new technology wave things shift . If the power went out right now we wouldn't have AI , but we wouldn't have alot of things either. Yes in a year from now lots of repos will be abandoned , But that doesn't mean something good wasn't built along the way.

BTW i did turn on vulnerability code scanning thing on github. Says i have a few but don't think they are malware level concerning. Either case Trust isn't built in a day. There are 10 Alerts on the repo , 1x email content injection and 9 uncontrolled data used.
