@eapl.me@eapl.me Hmm interesting 🤔

In-reply-to » Been playing around a bit with Continue.dev and Ollama.ai in VSCode (which all runs locally). I have to say, Continue.dev is not a bad tool in terms of "utility" and the overall UX is kind of nice. However; I dunno whether I'm just using inferior models like codellama or codellama (See Models), or whether I'm expecting far too much out of these "glorified" token prediction machines, but all this seems to be good for is banging out repetitive keystrokes.

Was sort of hoping for a more objective response and experiences with using any LLM local or Oyherwise as a “coding assistant” 😁

Is it actually any better using the much more (supposedly) powerful ChatGPT from OpenAI and wll that jazz that runs some crazy $250k/day to run?! 🤔 Anyone?

The darn thing is just so well umm, fucking stupid and just umm clueless?! 🤦‍♂️ I’m not really sure what to think of any of this anymore… It’s been so heavily hyped up over the past couple of years, but why? LIke you can’t really get these models to do much for you, even its “summarize this …” is kind of garbage really 😅

In-reply-to » I'll shut down this instance soon, I want to say thanks to all of you, especially @prologic . It's been fun here, but I do not spend much time here anymore - cutting down on the things I host and use \ spend time on etc.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Gonna miss your lovely ocean scenery, but we’ll do something about that soon™ 😅 I believe I do still intend to build an external fully supported Twtxt<->ActivityPub bridge, so ya never know, you might just be back and ya’d never know 😅

In-reply-to » Hmm when I said "Wireguard is kind of cool" in this twt now I'm not so sure 😢 I can't get "stable tunnels" to freak'n stay up, survive reboots, survive random disconnections, etc. This is nuts 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I misunderstood some aspects of Wireguard as mentioned here, not 100% sure, but so far things are much happier now with assigning /32(s) as Tunnel IP(s) for Peers and being a bit more thoughtful about the AllowedIPs 🤞 I’m only playing around with 3 devices right now, my core router (RouterOS), an Ubuntu 22.04 VM over at Vultr and my iPhone.

I think this is what I was missing in my understanding:

In other words, when sending packets, the list of allowed IPs behaves as a sort of routing table, and when > receiving packets, the list of allowed IPs behaves as a sort of access control list.

This is what we call a Cryptokey Routing Table: the simple association of public keys and allowed IPs.

Hmmm really not getting this at al 🤦‍♂️ So far things appear to be a bit more stable, but the only changes I made was to assign addresses to peers of the form 172.30.0.X/32 instead of 172.30.0.X/24 and setting AllowedIPs to 0.0.0.0/0 for mobile peers (phones, etc) and X.X.X.X/24, Y.Y.Y.Y/24 for more static peers (remote VMs) where X and Y are the LAN and Wireguard subnets.

Huh hmm Boring Proxy actually uses SSH under the hood (written in Go) for the tunnelling 🤔 Clever, I would have done the same if I hadn’t learned about Wireguard 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net Now that I have real experience with Wireguard, I’m seriously thinking about building my own “Cloudflare” replacement infra 😅 – And commodifying that somehow. Boring Proxy kind of does this too, but I may have a slightly different takes on things 🤔

In-reply-to » Had to go to the office today. Leaving the house, some nice reddish spots appeared in the sky, probably saw a hedgehog and by the time I reached the train station, the sunrise had fully emerged. Unfortuntely, I did not have a camera with me, so I had to enjoy this super crazy, ultra red sky on the platform and can't show you anything. It was easily one of the most beautiful sunrises of this year. A very large section of the sky was very, very red.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh nothing has changed for me 🤣 I stay away from humans as much as possible, never shake hands, refuse to use public transport, etc, etc

In-reply-to » @bender Hahaha! :-D To make it clear, I'm not one of those esoteric radiation jerks. I simply don't have enough use cases to justify one. And then comes the absolutely horrific UX I'm not willing to deal with. Lots of people love it, I just don't. Finally, in this day and age I do enjoy that I'm not reachable everywhere. There's not even a chance of getting distracted. All my good mates don't have an issue with that, at least they do not admit it. ;-) Of course there are people that think I'm silly, but I don't care about them.

Finally, in this day and age I do enjoy that I’m not reachable everywhere

This is the primary reason why I NEVER install “Work” apps on my iPhone. I’ve gotten into the habit for many years now, never to mix work and personal stuff. If I’m not on my Work Macbook, I’m not available – end of story.

In-reply-to » The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing into stupidity Philips Hue products are about to get a whole lot worse – even the ones you already own. Their latest round of stupidity pops up a new EULA and forces you to take it or, again, you can’t access your stuff. But that’s just more unenforceable garbage, so who cares, right? Well, it’s getting worse. It seems they are planning on dropping an update which will force you to log in. Yep, no longer will your stuff Just Work across ... ⌘ Read more

AmaIng that on these plane WiFi networks, clearly powered by satellites, even get this much bandwidth 🙃

Latency is pretty piss poor, but you kind of expect that with a moving target 🤣

In-reply-to » @eapl.me The reason I was asking was specifically @fachex mentioning another open source OTP app that's been audited and verified. So was thinking of switching out the OTP app I use on my phone 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I didn’t know that, thanks! I generally don’t use the password manager on iOs or macOS even for that matter though, but thanks 👌 I do however recommend it to family/friends (but with iCloud turned off for obvious reasons)
