3·23 days agoI think this should be fixed now! for me in both firefox and curl, www.awful.systems now redirects to awful.systems.

4·23 days agoah, 421 is what iocaine returns when the request isn’t garbage but there’s no endpoint to handle it, so I might just need to configure an explicit redirect from www.awful.systems to awful.systems in nginx

10·23 days agoit’s up! this time it went smoothly enough that it’s been up for a bit as I’ve finished a few last bits and pieces. so far it looks like everything’s holding steady enough, but I’m keeping an eye on things for now. the treat I mentioned is in the oven.

8·25 days agooh you fucking know it
also all 3 parts of Das Kapital and the full text of My Immortal
like god fucking damn what did keepassxc do that made all these little fuckers pledge allegiance to it? what about this mediocre blog post is convincing? did y’all miss the context that this post is accompanied by a bunch of posts on other official keepassxc accounts where they give incorrect and potentially dangerous information in defense of their use of LLMs?
according to the slop coders, their slop isn’t slop? oh do tell!
not saying it’s always programming.dev but
gonna have to start cleaning up some of the posts from the more long-winded assholes with opinions that aren’t more complex than “well I trust them to not let the technology known for creating security vulnerabilities run wild on their codebase, because they made the exact same promises every other project makes when they go all-in on slop”
for a fucking password manager of all things
oh no what happened to that thin veneer of reasonable centrism when you were defending a password manager of all fucking things incorporating slop code? could it be you just fucking love slop?
hopefully I have a little credibility here.
LLMs do make decent first-pass code reviewers
hahahaha nope

6·25 days agoI saw that! fortunately once iocaine is configured it seems to just work, but it’s also very much software that kicks and screams the entire way there. in my case the problem wasn’t even nginx-related, I just typoed the config section for the request handler and it silently defaulted to the mode where it returns garbage for every incoming request.

12·25 days agonope, you’ve been getting caught in the fallout from us not having this yet. the scrapers have been so intense they’ve been crashing the instance repeatedly.
oh wow you’re just like this all the time huh
no wonder you came in here to
scream for a disgusting chicken sandwichincorrect one of my posters about their use of a common English phrase and post yet more LLM apologia barely disguised as critique


imagine being this dedicated to being fucking mid
e: correction, rolling over and exposing your belly for generative fucking AI of all things isn’t mid. it’s fucking broken behavior, especially right after similarly unpopular garbage (crypto, metaverses) pushed by the exact same people failed in the market because the target audience mostly just sneered at it and refused to buy in
like I’m sorry you feel like you’re forced to buy CoD 7 or whatever other AAA games succumb to this shit, but have you considered expanding your tastes past garbage? if you want to say fuck you to Tim in a language he understands, go play a good epic game or a a great epic game for free instead of paying $80 or $200 or whatever the fuck these jokers think it should cost for fucking trash.
