PumpkinDrama,

There are probably some variations that use egg but I’ve always done this one.

Suggestion: Allow people to view the "home page" and/or a list of communities of other instances from your own instance

For example, I’m interested in programming.dev. I want to see what communities they have and how their local posts look like. Therefore, I thought it would be a nice idea for there to be a button which you can press to just see posts from that instance. This would be the same as simply navigating to that instance’s homepage,...

PumpkinDrama,

I like the idea of custom feeds that allow adding users, communities, instances or tags. That way you can personalize better what you see. So adding a single instance to the feed would be like looking at the local feed from that instance, but you could make many more kinds of feeds.

What are Your Thoughts on Overcoming Internet Addiction and Leading a More Purposeful Life? (www.youtube.com)

I recently came across a thought-provoking video that delved into the struggle of overcoming internet addiction. The speaker reflected on a decade lost to the virtual world, a place that often felt more real than reality itself. Despite having a successful freelancing career and a growing YouTube channel, they found themselves...

PumpkinDrama,

Well, in the end, there’s only entropy and the heat death of the Universe, so from that perspective, nothing matters.

Why isn't everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks?

I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s...

To manage temporary files in Linux, a Bash script can move files untouched for 10 days to a timestamped subfolder, return modified files to the root, and delete files not modified for 90 days. Alternatively, a folder with symlinks to recently accessed files can be created using mkdir, find with -atime -7 to locate recently accessed files, and a while loop with ln -s to symlink each file into the folder. Both approaches help organize files based on access time to avoid clutter and remove stale temporary files. The Bash script offers more automation while the symlink folder provides a manual way to access recent files.

Are there any popular and well-maintained dotfiles for Arch Linux that come with a solid installation process?

After recently installing a new system, I had a rude awakening when I realized I’d been tinkering with broken dotfiles for over a year. It’s time to simplify things. I’m considering adopting popular dotfiles with established installation processes and leaving my existing setup behind, transferring essential configurations...

I've lately been making my git commit messages with AI (reddthat.com)

It writes more informative commits than I could ever make so I’m just reading what it says and mostly copy/pasting completely most of the time, I write all of the changes I’ve made into an LLM with a large context window and it write a very detailed commit not just with a title but with bullet points describing each of the...

PumpkinDrama,

Why do you need to spend a “considerable amount of time crafting commit messages?”

I haven’t wrote that, it’s LLM output. My commit messages usually are variants of ‘changes’, ‘fixed’, ‘updated’ or ‘asdfasdf’

PumpkinDrama,

If a glorified autocomplete algorithm can write more informative and concise commit messages than you, the actual author behind the code, I think you need to sit down and think long and hard what that actually implies.

I don’t need to think long and hard to realize how lazy I am. Only a stupid person would need to think long and hard to realize something so simple.

And you are probably referring to the LLM generated post anyway, because I never said that it can write “more informative and concise commit messages than me”. You are the one saying that.

write brief git commit message

Fix archive checking

  • Refactor to use functions for common logic
  • Check archive file after downloading playlists
  • Remove aliases, simplify main commands
  • Minor cleanups

I started asking this later

write brief git commit message using Conventional Commits style and bullet points, split into smaller chunks if necessary specifying the chunks

PumpkinDrama,

No it just writes the patch text that I pass split in chuncks with a git commit message for each of the chuncks, but I’m the one who has to copy that and perform the commit

PumpkinDrama,

Do you know where I can find a guide explaining how to set up periodic snapshots using rsync and how to restore to a previous snapshot?

PumpkinDrama,

That’s just what I was looking for. Can I do all that from the command line, and include user files in the backup?

PumpkinDrama,

Rarely crashes, I don’t really care if it changes or not.

PumpkinDrama,

Unlikely to crash.

PumpkinDrama,

I didn’t say I want the software to be stable, just the OS and DE. I’ll get the software though a third party package manager.

PumpkinDrama,

This would be the perfect solution, sadly I’m using WSL so I’m limited to very few distros.

The Future of Privacy in the Age of AGI and AI Glasses

As technology continues to advance, we are rapidly approaching a future where Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and AI glasses will become commonplace. While these advancements have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, they also pose a significant threat to our privacy. With the widespread use of AI...

When do you think there will be an Android app that could accurately perform real time object recognition?

In Star Wars Rebels, there was an E-XD-series infiltrator droid that could quickly take inventory of everything in a Rebel warehouse. With the advanced object recognition capabilities of modern AI, it’s only a matter of time before an app for Android can accurately and rapidly identify and store objects in real-time from video...

PumpkinDrama,

The fediverse will never be mainstream, that would mean using addictive algorithms which open source enthusiasts are opposed to.

PumpkinDrama,

You can open the post in a different tab, clicking the middle button or ctrl+click, until they fix this.

PumpkinDrama,

There’s nothing we can do about that in the software. Perhaps you mean to say that you don’t see enough of the communities you are interested in because they are small and get overshadowed by larger communities, and you’d like to see more of them.

PumpkinDrama,

I’ve considered Odysee but I’ve settled for Rumble. PeerTube has stringent upload limits. Now I’m looking for a platform to share the videos not upload them.
