I run nginx which proxies into a few personal web projects I work on plus Forgejo. I also run irssi and immich.
I do pay a little more, 16 euros per month, but this is largely to have 1TB of space.
I have had my own VPS since around 2010. Before that I was running an old Sun machine as a home server, but it was so heavy and unwieldy I gave it away when I moved.
I’m wondering the same thing. Then I started wondering whether gp meant Muse the band, because from what I can figure Meta’s Muse won’t make any difference in this, but there’s a slim chance a Muse song with lyrics that can change a software developer’s soul.
This is just me musing. I don’t actually know what Muse’s music is like.
I had a PR in flight that got closed because of this. I had an issue with passwords in the network applet for the VPN and had used Claude to help me identify and then come up with a fix. I did spend a lot time handcrafting and making sure the quality was good, but I respect their decision and no hard feelings, but as someone who have struggled to find time and opportunity to contribute to open source it was a small set back.
I found your commit and your usage of AI seemed reasonable. It seems to me like your PR itself and the subsequent comments and correspondence was also human written.
I think a PR "in flight" shouldn't have been closed like that.
All this will do is push out developers like you that honestly disclose, and instead people will now just lie.
My guess: taking personal responsibility for the functionality, readability, and sanity of the change proposed, both atomically and in the context of the wider code base (adhering to existing conventions and patterns), to the best of the author’s ability.
Putting any specific string in an "author(s)" or "committer" field is likewise a token gesture that doesn't affect or alter the content. The impact, just like promises of responsibility, would still solely be in biasing the reader, clouding the evaluation.
Unless you believe there is substance in social interactions over time, like trust. But then it would be a socially weird move to dismiss promises of responsibility out of hand instead of picking up the invitation to build trust if that's what's perceived to be lacking.
What I meant by it was that I read every line of code generated, made sure I understood its purpose and either manually rewrote it if I felt there was a better way or asked Claude to do it. E.g. there was a bug where the password could end up in a configuration labelled as a username. Claude's initial fix was to simply exclude 'username' in a for loop, but I asked it to find examples in similar code in other codebases to see what the best practice was and ended up basing to fix on what is done in Gnome.
I am not saying it's the greatest PR in the history of PRs, but I think the quality is at least the same as it would have been if I had spent the time to do everything by hand (which may say more about my Rust abilities, but that's what I'm trying to improve as well).
I don’t think they are outright lying, but a similar third-party identity verification service was compromised recently. every ID scanned at a Hertz rental car counter was siphoned to the attacker’s system.
The company might not be storing your scans, but there’s always the chance someone else might be. I’d prefer to not risk it.
I find it significantly harder to cook with electric than gas, and the first hurdle these days is always that for some reason all modern stoves use awful touch interfaces instead of just plain knobs. I don't understand how we got there. It should be obvious to anyone that it's a terrible interface when you are trying to multitask several pots and might also have greasy hands
I haven't seen one in a kitchen in decades, other than extremely old ones. The touch control design is absolutely everywhere. At least here in Norway, where ~all stovetops are electric.
Agreed - maybe not lots - but I got myself a HIS8055U three years ago specifically because it had knobs. No regrets there. I wish it had one larger burner, but completely night and day with traditional electric.
Induction is the good one - it has instant response like gas.
Resistive electric stoves suck and deserve their reputation, but induction is the best of both worlds: high power, accurate control, and you don't waste half of the energy due to the flame's heat going around the pot.
But the touch-sensitive controls are infuriating indeed. Nothing about induction requires them, it's just a dumb design fad.
Induction is shit. Horrible stuff. Not nearly the same level of control and heat dissipation as gas. Much better than resistive, but about 10% as good as gas.
Where it has a clear advantage is in boiling speed when used at full power. I've ditched my electric kettle for a stovetop one. There's not a day I'm cooking that I don't somewhat regret having replaced the old and crappy gas stove.
Even with very thick cast iron pans, the hot spots are there at any power. It takes longer for the pans to heat up and the heat is never uniform.
For pots with thinner floors, I bought thick heat diffusers. Again, they help - but they just make everything less responsive and probably a lot less efficient as well. Not to mention they don't actually make the hot spots disappear either.
I have stainless steel and anti-stick pans from a high end brand, and with one of the cheapest induction stoves a liter of water boils in literally 2m, compared to 10m+ of gas.
Cast iron pots have additional challenges unless they're designed for induction (flat bottom surface), and even then, due to the high thermal capacity they are basically bad heat conductors, so if you put a large cast iron pot on a small induction coil, the center will heat rapidly, but it'll take a long time for the whole pan to heat up. Your only option is to make sure bottom-pot size and coil size are matching, and even then it'll take a while longer to heat compared to stainless steel or copper.
It depends on what you call bad. It's certainly not top of the line, thousands of pounds worth, but it's not a cheap one either. Honestly it's my first induction one, so who knows?
That appears to have poor feedback about the induction cooktop itself, and is inferior to, say, Bosch. Cycles on and off, poor pan detection, lower peak power, areas being affected smaller than the lines on the top etc.
Perhaps. Again, I'm kinda new to this, and that one had stellar reviews, was well within my budget and with a good discount when I bought it, and mainly - it fit the hole I needed to fill in my kitchen.
Do you know of a better one that doesn't completely break the bank but works well? I was looking at the ones that the whole cook surface is inductive and it adapts to exactly where the pots and pans are, but they seem to cost an arm and a leg, especially in that form factor.
My general impression of those big wide single-unit range things is that unless you're paying _silly_ money, you're getting a far worse product for the same money than normal separate cooktops and ovens. No idea _why_ this is, but it seems to be a universal.
(Part of the problem may be that BSH, which kinds of sets the standard in the industry, doesn't really make them, so the competition dynamic is different.)
Is there a way to fill the 100 cm hole in the worktop with a split solution? Otherwise I'd have to replace the cupboards and a massive chunk of granite, which would likely be even sillier money...
This! The only electric (induction or otherwise) stovetops are either bottom of the barrel portable or top of the line commercial models. Everything in between is capacitive touch garbage.
I bought a relatively inexpensive induction range from LG specifically because it has knobs - a lot of the more expensive ones from other brands were capacitive touch.
Yeah, so my (electric) stove has knobs, but my oven and microwave are both touch buttons and this has literally never been an issue.
Admittedly I have other complaints about the microwave controls (why is it so damn many button presses to vary the power output) but it's not because the buttons are hard to use.
I usually hate touch controls. But for the stove I actually like them. I always hated cleaning in and around the knobs. When cooking on the stove you almost always get some sort of splatter so it is nice to clean them every time (something I often put off with knobs. So for something that so regularly gets dirty a flat surface can be very welcome.
So it is definitely a tradeoff, but I am happy I picked a stove with touch controls. Although I did pay attention that they were good touch controls (touch anywhere on the arc to set that temperature directly for example). Although there is a small annoying delay after turning on before you can set the temperature. Almost perfect.
I hate it but I think the reason might be regulations? I have family who recently had to replace their stove setup, they used to have a combined oven + stovetop thing where dials on the front of the oven controlled the stovetop. They wanted the replacement to work the same way but there were no options, and when they asked, they were told it's no longer legal for the stovetop and the oven to be electrically connected in that way (or something along those lines).
No idea if it's true or if it was just an impressively creative salesperson.
But it sucks. I've accidentally burned cookware by having parts of the stovetop turn on intentionally. And sometimes, if my fingers are moist while cooking (imagine that!), the touch controls just go completely insane and I have to spend time drying my hands and the controls before I regain control over the stove.
IMO the new design with touch buttons is way more dangerous.
I’m skeptical about the reasoning being regulations. There are still a few Italian manufacturers who have a combined oven & stovetop models (“range” in US terms) including induction, but they’re really expensive and with questionable reliability / warranty support. I think all manufacturers just care about cutting costs and putting out a “sleak” design.
I agree Thimbleweed Park was a little rough, a bit like Maniac Mansion if you like. What gives me hope is that Monkey Island 5 was really really good, so I feel he's back in his grove.
Dog eat dog world these days, and the employers broke the contract first. I'm sure they've had to reneg, ghost, or cancel interviewees. That kind of system begets more betrayal.
