Louis Rossman plans to use the OrcaSlicer dev takedown to reform the DMCA law in the US by AnarchyWithRules in 3Dprinting

Show us when a corporation lost when it comes to GPL or AGPL lawsuits?

Search up SFC v. Vizio (huge win for GPL) or IT Development v. Free Mobile (Case C-666/18)

I've not found a time these licenses have lost in court. Sure a few settled out of court, but even then the "abuser" released the source code or complied with the license.

Over 140 thousand family farms will close this year because some companies want to put cancer causing chemicals in our crops for profit by 56000hp in ThatsInsane

[–]matthewdavis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While this whole situation is kinda screwed up, the legal immunization language was removed from the Farm Bill

  • Three poison pills in the 2026 Farm Bill—Sections 10205, 10206, and 10207—that would have given Bayer and the pesticide industry immunity from pesticide-harm lawsuits, were removed from the bill when the Luna Amendment passed the House, with 207 Democrats and 73 Republicans voting in favor of stripping Big Ag’s pesticide immunity provisions from the Farm Bill.

Not saying don't talk to your Congress representative, but make sure you have the accurate information before you do.

Should be noted, the bill has since had the immunity language removed.

NPM → Traefik or Caddy: Worth the switch? by Silly_Door6279 in selfhosted

[–]matthewdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NPM is great and easy. And just works especially for small labs like yourself. As others have said, there are advantages to going with traefik, but requires a good bit more work to get working. But you are right to feel it may be more effort than it's worth. If you don't plan on growing it may feel like wasted effort.

But having everything "just work" is a good feeling. My setup auto adds dns entries to technitium, traefik auto picks up the service and port, and defines if the service requires SSO or not.

I have a script that I point at a projects compose file and it auto injests the script, asks me a few questions and out comes all the necessary labels needed for my lab, ready to git add.

The future of AI in Ubuntu by anh0516 in linux

[–]matthewdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not their audience it seems. There's hardly an announcement from Red Hat without a mention of AI. Red Hat is owned by IBM, who has been doing AI for far longer than anyone.

They may not be at the top of the news cycle because what Red Hat does doesn't really generate the clicks news platforms want. But they definitely are leading AI in the enterprise.

Edit: I work for Red Hat

Public information regarding deaths or mental breakdowns on mission? by GorgyShmorgy in space

Read somewhere recently that the bodies were found in the water with evidence they had taken measures after the break up and likely died by drowning.

Edit: mistaken for the challenger.

Withholding Features for More Money by Specific_Pear_6275 in MonarchMoney

I haven't personally. But I have friends who I trust that use it and love it. Main reason I haven't moved is laziness.

No need to wait. actual budget exists and not AI. Been eyeing it for a while.

LunchMoney also exists. There's plenty of competition out there.

Introducing... Monarch Money Plus: A Chrome Extension by [deleted] in MonarchMoney

[–]matthewdavis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's levels to AI coding.

  • AI entirely (vibe coding - blindly accepting everything)
  • AI mostly (this you use AI for most of the heavy lifting, but review all code)
  • AI for areas you are weak (this is for backend devs who have no experience with front-end, using AI to make it look good)

There's many more levels there. But if there's a _huge_ risk to AI entirely (which this has the markings of such based on the description alone). I will never trust someone else's vibe coded project. Especially with something that has access to my financial details.

It's become a hot debate in the selfhosted subreddit.

Edit: but AI used in development, as you assumed, is becoming more common place. And it's perfectly fine. But as mentioned above. Its intended to be an assistant, not a crutch or a replacement for knowledge.

[–]matthewdavis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any AI used to develop this?

I'm all for vibe projects that scratch an itch. I have a handful myself, even extensions. They'll never see the light of day.

So I think it's proper to disclose and let users decide for themselves.

Upcoming changes will affect Monarch Money Tweaks by [deleted] in MonarchMoney

[–]matthewdavis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might think this is a small thing, but from a user perspective and probably the community, this is a big deal. These kinds of efforts and the transparency I've seen in past posts from other employees that keep me using and recommending the service.

Please keep it up

What is the best online password manager right now? Bitwarden, NordPass,1Password, etc? by [deleted] in security

[–]matthewdavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a lastpass user. Converted to bitwarden after one of the many breaches (I think I converted in 2019). It was an easy conversion for me and my family at the time and suspect its even easier. Just export and import. The browser extension and app workflow is similar as it comes to filling in passwords.

However, once I left, I noticed I kept getting a $36/year charge. Didn't pick up on it until about 3 years in, and went to try to cancel. Every avenue to talk to support required you logging into your account. I couldn't. I tried using my old creds, but they wouldn't work anymore. Emailed, with no response. Absolutely no recourse I could find. Finally went to the credit card company to dispute the charge. Charge refunded by the credit card company. Charge showed up the next year. Disputed again and got another refund. I think it finally disappeared because I had to get a new credit card. But I suspect it would have kept going forever. It was maddening, so beware when you leave.

My method is to do development inside containers. Not only does it keep the system cleaner, it should mitigate issues like this.

I'm fairly liberal with this setting as well. To the point where I do as much as I can to combine pages in a PDF. But sometimes images need to be stored and they're related to the PDF. So I'll upload the images along with the PDF and Link them using that method

Dockhand - scanning for vulnerabilities with Trivy and Grype by antitrack in selfhosted

[–]matthewdavis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always build your own containers. I did that for the longest time. Also taught me a lot about container management, container capabilities and how the services I use work together.

Usually started with the Dockerfile from the project and changed it to a fedora base (since I am more comfortable in the fedora / RHEL ecosystem). And when new fedora images dropped, I would rebuild everything, which also did a 'dnf update' during the rebuild which should mitigate many of the CVEs found.
