I remember reading that thread and what a shitshow. I ran grimmory for a while and the metadata scraping was inconsistent, especially with goodreads. Bookorbit seems to work so I’ll keep using it for now. I’ll probably end up switching back once bookorbit gets too bloated with all the stuff he’s been adding lately.

I’m guessing the blurb was provided by coder and not written by the author. Like someone else said, it could’ve been worded better.

From the newsletter:

no record of what they touched

From the site:

Centralized model access and policy-controlled environments with full observability and auditability across all AI usage.

We might have some wires crossed somewhere.

Once I got comfortable with immich, I realized photos was my main use of nextcloud and immich was so much better. I replaced the rest of nextcloud’s functionality with syncthing+filebrowser quantum. Haven’t looked back since. Now I don’t have to worry about a nextcloud update randomly causing havoc (user error likely).

Floppy seems cool. I am curious about how/why people use these types of tracking services for their media.

That’s fair. I’m sure we have wildly different experiences around the discussion of vibe coded projects.

It’s cool that he vibe coded something for his specific needs but the lamenting of being unable to share it because of the fear of a backlash is a bit premature. I wonder how long he (and others like him) will be able to keep his project going when he eventually adds more features that introduce more bugs and the effort/cost of maintaining the project becomes too much. We’ve already seen that for the majority of people vibe coding stuff, the answer is relatively quickly.

I’ve found interesting projects that have been vibe coded and seem to be well-maintained but I think vibe coded projects need at least 6 months to a year of history before they replace anything critical in my stack.

I’d be surprised if most people running invidious for private use are following that advice. I’ve been on the master branch for a while and it gets updated fairly often. For my instance, I haven’t seen any reason to restart the service more often.

It is and I thought it would be abandoned like most other AI slop but it the dev has been pretty active since I first became aware of it.

Adding https://github.com/Ivan-Malinovski/calino to the ones already mentioned. I need to stop being lazy and spin it up.

Seems like these could fit the bill.

I’m counting down the days until they revoke all existing lifetime passes. With this change and the recent bitwarden price increases, we’re definitely in the era of being squeezed for every dime from all sides.

Like many others, I bought the lifetime plex pass when it was relatively cheap but switched to jellyfin for personal use years ago. I keep plex running for family members but that’ll stop as soon as the lifetime pass goes away.
