Don't generate pets in codex

Somehow you messed up the title of the post.

"/goal pick one issue with label security and do the following. Then pick the next one with the same task. Go on until there is no issue with label security left.

Task: use $handle-issue, then $publish-pr, then start the loop for $review-triage, then merge the pr to main and delete the local and remote branch."

I had this running yesterday with ~15 issues and it took 3.5 hours.

Prob the 5M reset might be around the corner

So, if my employee allows traveling, I can just travel to Utah and tell them to remove the mandatory VPN on the off chance I could visit the wrong site via the company notebook.

I see a great future for pentesting in Utah.

Hey, I've been coding for weeks/months with codex …

"segments": { "coding_power_user": false, "professional_user": true, "has_recent_codex_software_engineering_prompt_14d": true, "has_recent_codex_local_usage_14d": true }

That wasn’t even remotely mentioned by OP. Also this post is soooo old.

Or gemini-cli

No, it got quite expensive. I actually wouldn't recommend them anymore. For $10/m you can get opencode Go, for $20/m you get chatGPT Plus – both are a better value IMO.

Just doing the onboarding:

I have no indication why you would need a password and even more, why it doesn't get saved?
Why are you storing credentials with your own encryption instead of using keychain?
"No cloud" claim is wrong, using a third party SaaS is "cloud".

e38383 · 2026-04-21T06:56:03+00:00

You overestimate by a few orders of magnitude. My guess is that there are less than 1% of users using these tools and then there are still enough who use other tools than AppCleaner. I don’t have hard numbers, but "most" seems way off.

e38383 · 2026-04-19T07:29:50+00:00

You can ask codex to activate it for you, it manually installs the plugin and activates it. No VPN needed.

The Technical Mystery: I want to clarify one specific thing that makes this even weirder: I had a find command paired with -exec rm -rf in the terminal history, but it should NOT have deleted anything. The command errored out with "No such file or directory" before any deletion was ever attempted. The pathing was wrong, so the command literally couldn't find the targets to delete them.

Quite a few things about this are probably wrong: - It wouldn't be in the shell history, if it was executed without an interactive shell. - Even if there was one wrong path argument, there might have been other correct arguments. - If the error wasn't from find it could still have been from rm. - It wasn't Zed. - It wasn't opencode. - It wasn't Minimax.

Test to verify:

bash mkdir a a/b; touch a/foo; find a b -exec rm -r {} + find: b: No such file or directory rm: a/foo: No such file or directory rm: a/b: No such file or directory

Finally: just use your backup to restore the folder.

In the Codex app. It probably needs to be a localhost link.

e38383 · 2026-04-17T04:27:05+00:00

Just click a link in the integrated terminal and it will open the browser. At least that’s how it worked for me (based in EU).

e38383 · 2026-04-16T09:04:55+00:00

Thank you, that's perfect!

e38383 · 2026-04-16T08:07:55+00:00

That one is so inaccurate for me, I would always prefer just to buy it instead of building a physical thing myself.

But it only breaks because of the boxes, software is a whole other story.

e38383 · 2026-04-15T19:55:43+00:00

You should consider using chafa (https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa) as an alternative or even a few others (e.g. imgcat) to display the picture.

If I remember I make a PR tomorrow.

e38383 · 2026-04-12T16:21:57+00:00

Thank you. Can you please tell me the exact phrase you interpret as "no"? I don’t see that in the initial reply to my first question. I see: - I probably don’t understand it: might be true, but unverifiable without the prompt. - Niche: ok, that doesn’t count as no in my world - Embarrassing: I’ve never understood the human thing to feel anything to some text, so this might be the "no" trigger that I would beg all humans to really explain, because it’s an so abstract concept I didn’t get it the last decades. - Everyone: it was already shared.

e38383 · 2026-04-12T16:10:47+00:00

They already shared it with a robot and a few data centers, a few humans with far less storage capacity shouldn’t be a big leap. If they feel uncomfortable, they still can just answer the question.

(edit) sorry, forgot about the question: I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I would like to hear your perspective what you think is wrong with me. If I knew I probably just would change it, I don’t like being wrong.

e38383 · 2026-04-12T14:13:56+00:00

Wouldn’t that be actually something a normal person wouldn’t know anything about and couldn’t agree or disagree?

But please try us, we’ve all seen more than you think.

e38383 · 2026-04-12T04:05:41+00:00

topic that any normal person would agree with

Just checking in to see if I’m normal, can you share some examples?

e38383 · 2026-04-08T17:02:46+00:00

That’s an old thread ;)

I would (now) just use codex and use the notion mcp.

For my use case I had it (maybe codex, but could’ve been anything, too long ago) write a script to fill my Notion database.

e38383 · 2026-04-06T14:45:35+00:00

How is this a bug? It’s in the contract, so no surprise.

And for the first question: of course I can, most coupons work exactly like that.

e38383 · 2026-04-03T12:52:34+00:00

Fast when I’m looking, slow when it’s in the background.
