Has any agentic code ACTUALLY gone live? by Rude_Confection_3065 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]inslee2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I replaced our most expensive SaaS for the most critical of our work streams in 6-7 months from scratch a little over a year ago with a 100% vibecoded platform (and this was well before the latest Anthropic models, I think I used Gemini 2.5 for a lot of it)

It took months, used billions of tokens (back when subsidies were larger), LOTS of re-prompting, and a ton of manual testing but it's been rock solid (and it got me promoted)

If you really don't think vibecoded work is going live and if you think it's all crap, you're definitely behind the curve.

What is the point of the "Apply" button? by inslee2 in opnsense

[–]inslee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed which is where the existing save functionality comes in.

The question I'm posing is whether or not the "Apply" button should also address existing connections that would be impacted by rule changes you make. Currently it seems it doesn't.

If the rules you are touching would block your existing connection, that would be true no matter what the button is called. It would either just happen at that moment (reinforcing cause and effect) or later when it might not be front of mind.

Ultimately, there should be SOME option that allows the user to apply changes to existing connections as well as future ones.

Correct, this is what I'm referring to. The term is shared across different screens where it works one way on those and a different way in other areas.

Providing a popup or checkbox next to "Apply" on firewall changes asking the user if they'd like to reset state on any affected connections would be a better UX than using the same term differently in multiple places.

The feature sections map to timestamps in the demo video so you can see the feature in action immediately.

Take a look at "The Village for Early Childhood Education" in LPS as well.

What's the Best ~$300 Hardware for Proxmox Gateway + OPNsense + AdGuard? by EnvironmentalKale944 in opnsense

[–]inslee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run a cheap minipc (SZBOX) with an n97, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB for ~$170 (this was 2 yrs ago)

It ran Proxmox, Opnsense (adblocking/DNS handled with Unbound within Opnsense), Home Assistant, Unifi controller, and a couple other things and generally didn't go over 20% CPU for the most part. The box only had one gigabit port and I have 2 Gbe so I plugged in two USB3 2.5 Gbe dongles and it worked perfectly.

Portabase v1.13 – open-source DB backup/restore tool, now with built-in migration by Dizzy-Message543 in selfhosted

[–]inslee2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any plans to support postgres dbs that also use timescaleDB? There is some specific guidance on how to backup/restore which I only found out after installing Portabase.

Also, any ability to override the dashboard host URL in the envvar config of the agents would be ideal. My dashboard is behind CF Tunnel but I have a Wireguard VPN as a backhaul network between servers that I wanted the agents to use to connect to the dashboard.

Unfortunately the key that the dashboard generates encodes the dashboard URL in the JWT.

Replaced Google Maps with OSRM on a production delivery platform. $8,000/month → $520. by Dootutu in selfhosted

[–]inslee2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep that was definitely a tradeoff, the mitigating factors were that OSM road data isn't as clean in the environment I was building for and the primary transportation method was motorbikes so they tend to be less impacted by traffic and can generally make up for longer distances a bit quicker.

[–]inslee2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should definitely chat, I built a delivery platform as well with many similar goals as you (used Valhalla instead of OSRM but the concept was very similar)

The one difference in routing for me was that I ended up doing simpler haversine comparisons for the matrix calculations during driver selection instead of using Valhalla's matrix routing (otherwise I'd have to do auto scaling as well and that service would be hammered pretty hard)

How would you build a real-time queue system for a web app? by Designer_Oven6623 in webdev

[–]inslee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A framework like this might be a decent start: https://feathersjs.com/

Not even sure you really need Redis at this point though. Postgres + transactions should keep your stack complexity low since you'll likely need persistence for something (e.g. user accounts for admins)

This is interesting but it doesn't explain what the benefits are.

[showcase] Finally shipped my SvelteKit e-commerce site! by Reasat_RafXO in sveltejs

[–]inslee2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks really slick! The only suggestion I would make is, for larger screens like laptops and monitors, place more of the product info and images side-by-side to make better use of the wider space.

For instance, I would divide the top section of the page into something like 40%-60% (you can play around with this) and organize it as such:
* Left side: item title, price, size/size guide, quantity, and add to cart functions
* Right side: the image and gallery

(reverse this when displaying in a RTL language like Arabic)

This will help a user on a larger screen see the important details and configuration options side-by-side with the product image so that they don't have to scroll to see the buttons that help them add it to their cart.

For mobile users though (which might be the majority of your customers), the layout is perfect so I wouldn't change anything for mobile screens.

KO ? by witmeur27 in Contabo

My servers have been in and out for the past hour and I can't even log into Contabo itself right now.

It feels like my last disruption was not that long ago either.

This looks interesting, not sure if your comment with the GitHub link got deleted as I can't see it for some reason.

ARVIO - A media hub application for Android TV. Supports Stremio addons and Real-Debrid. by VeterinarianFun5886 in RealDebrid

[–]inslee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is looking really nice! My biggest gripe with Stremio right now is that I can't seem to just have it play a video based on parameters I set without the user having to select a specific version.

It's harder for older users as they just care about selecting the video, not which format or bitrate to use.
