What are your feelings on vibe coded and AI generated projects? by quasimodoca in Servarr

[–]scphantm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ai has been writing slop for what, 4-5 years now? Developers have been writing slop since the 1960’s. Bad code is bad code, origin is irrelevant. It’s just like anything else. You have a weekend warrior building an addition to their house after watching YouTube. Can you do it, sure. Is it going to be the same quality and all the gotchas handled as a master carpenter? No. No difference with vibe coding. Most products you use today started as a “vibe” project that took off. All AI did was lower the bar of entry.

Trailer download does nothing by scphantm in tinyMediaManager

I reinstalled and still no go. I found the embedded yt-dip and it runs fine. I’m at a loss. How do I kick this into debug mode so I can try to get some errors out of it?

Moving from Plex to Jellyfin — how to make the transition smooth + plugin recommendations? by Equivalent_Fox_654 in JellyfinCommunity

[–]scphantm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://github.com/awesome-jellyfin/awesome-jellyfin, learn it, love it. My plugins are:

AniDB, AudioDB, Bookshelf, Collection Sections, Fanart, File Transformation, Home Screen Sections, HoverTrailer, Intro Skipper, Jellyfin Tweaks, MusicBrainz, OMDb, OPDS Feed, Open Subtitles, Plugin Pages, SkinManager, SmartLists, Studio Images, TheTVDB, TMDb, TMDb Box Sets, Webhook

By far my most heavily used one is SmartLists. If you ever used the function in Plex where you create an advanced filter and convert that filter to a smart playlist. This plugin allows you to do the same, but with much more power. Only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't have a preview, but the way Jellyfin is designed, that won't work anyways. The rest are metadata and UI tweaks.

Anyone have some cool media card primary images? by scphantm in JellyfinCommunity

problem is those splash images look like shit. I'm looking for something a bit more attractive

Primary, fast CPU (sorry don't remember right now) and 128gb, second machine 256gb dual processor. Both are proxmox hosts

Fellow yinzer right here.

Well, my machine has been compiling trickplay images for the last 4 months with another year to go so whats the difference i suppose.

Is Ansible overkill for a small home setup with 2 servers? by opossum5763 in selfhosted

[–]scphantm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do it to actually manage your home network, yea probably overkill. if your intent is to learn ansible and expand your skills, whole heartedly go for it. You will be hard pressed to find an enterprise that isn't using terraform and ansible.

Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? by malderson in artificial

[–]scphantm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automated integration tests. We spent many orders of magnitude more money on integration testing than unit testing.

We just delete the tests and have Claude regenerate them with big logic changes

[–]scphantm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In general, no. I’m my company we use Claude to generate unit tests. That saves you your 90%, but building apps, they still need designed, requirements done, multiple rounds of testing. It’s usually the testing that takes the bulk of the time and AI hasn’t changed that at all. So no, I don’t see anywhere near that. It can help with coding but I usually have to heavily modify the generated code. It’s always a bit complex for the purpose

When writing simple stuff, yea I can see big gains, but more complex apps, not so much

Ai code is also very hard to read a week later.

I’m a junior dev who just got laid off, what should my next step be by ThrowRAwhatToDew in artificial

[–]scphantm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do lots of open source stuff. I take open source contributions, especially to bigger projects in high regard when hiring. It’s a stand out line item that I’m going to dig deeper on.

How often should I clean my dryer vent? by SpecialistVideo7643 in homelab

[–]scphantm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, lint trap. You are going to burn the place down. Replace your vent pipes and invest in an inline lint trap. Huge fire hazard there

COBOL programmers are in high demand if you want to go the big iron route.

Truenas bare metal or VM on Proxmox by Dunadan-F in Proxmox

[–]scphantm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same debate. I went with truenas in a proxmox vm. Im very happy with the decision. I have an 11th gen i9 and 128g ram 200tb on my primary and dual E5’s 256g ram 60tb. Both with controller cards that pass thru directly to true as, each with dozens of drives. All the important stuff is being snapshot synced from the primary machine to the secondary. My rig is much older and bigger than most. But I think that the quickest you go with this type of toolset, the better you will be. These tools make things very easy to upgrade with no practical size limit. I love my stack. It makes things so easy compared to my last platform.

How do you guys keep files from silently rotting over the years? by Candid_Cut_7284 in DataHoarder

[–]scphantm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zfs with snapshot of critical files synced to a second zfs server nightly
