True, but not all Linux is FOSS, even though there is some significant overlap.

Looks good, and highlights how little we generally need to be functional.

Hmmm… Calibre web’s kobo integration is good enough, but Komga seems to be able to sync progress as well?

I might have to try Kkmga after all.

Wait, I use CWA… What do I need to be outraged about this time?

Haha too right mate

I haven’t run into any file managers that hide the path with no option to show it. Which one(s) are you talking about?

Nice.

Other actions are possible with watchdog timers, especially with hypervisors. They can invoke a script or use an agent to kill a misbehaving process.

Ultimately, the best solution is not to need the timers at all, so finding the culprit within the client is ideal, though not always possible.

VMs hanging on memory often have incorrect caching policies, you may want to investigate that.

I don’t understand what exactly you are arguing for.

Most folks don’t care. They won’t be shopping for an os.

I’ve been getting people on Linux for 20 years… Trust me, they don’t care about features, they care about being able to do their old workflow. These ppl are happy using a Chromebook.

This is how we get the memes like “Linux user recompiles kernel just to open Firefox”

Don’t worry about memes, haters gonna hate.

I’m in a similar situation, I have a coral tpu, but I’ve switched to openvino. And I see fewer false positives as well.

I suspect frigate devs aren’t working as hard on keeping the coral working with their ML models. Also, that coral driver is pretty stale; it’s from the 2014-era of google maps blurring car license plates.

LDAP is the Linux equivalent of a window domain controller

I assume you meant “Active Directory”. AD is based on a heavily modified LDAP schema, but they are interoperable. AD adds a LOT of extra functionality on top of the auth part of it, however.

Linux it’s self can use it too

That’s why I suggested it.

This is a problem solved for decades by LDAP. There are many, many management and audit frontends for LDAP.

but I have no idea how to use it

Install davx5, connect to radicale, and allow your calendar/contacts access to it.

I’d like to be able to self host my own calendar and contacts. Is radicale appropriate for this?

Yes.

Is it safe to self host a calendar?

Define “safe”.

Can a self hosted calendar still send and receive invites to other calendars?

Short answer: no. You are describing caldav/cardav integration with email.

I think this is great. Everyone came to this result better for the exchange.

It’s fine, this is healthy discourse we all need to move forward. If we kick out all the vibe coders instead of discussing with them, we will never get them to adhere to any kind of pattern of behaviour.

I wish you’d come in to the comments outside my emotional response to someone else :P

I’m 50 yrs old now, but I used to react almost the same way you did, I understand where you’re coming from.

I personally believe LLMs (and AI in general) can be great tools to help along with coding and similar tasks, we just don’t have a very good culture of their use yet.

1. Akamai is by a huge margin the single biggest CDN in the world, they are the 800lb gorilla. Fastly and Cloudflare aren’t minor players by any means, but their volume is not in the same league.
2. CDNs and DDOS don’t have much to do with each other. Cloudflare mitigates DDOS by scaling up network capacity and using pretty advanced pattern detection to simply soak up the traffic. Cloudflare is really, really good at scaling.

Now on that last point, there will indeed come a time when simply using the engineering technique of “making things bigger” won’t work if the attacks become sophisticated enough, but at that point networking will have fully become geopolitical tools (more than they are now).

Nice.

The issues to look for are unnecessary logic (evaluating variables and conditions for no reason), and double sets of variables.

One of the seasoned devs I work with said she encourages coders to transpose work at major inflection points, and this helps all devs gain an understanding of their own code. The technique is simply to rewrite/refactor the code in a new project manually, changing the names of the variables and arrays. The process forces one to identify where variables and actions are being used and how. It’s not very practical for very big projects, but anything under 1000 lines would benefit from it.

Good luck.

Again, get off your high horse.

They just came out swinging, for no reason.

You already know how most self-hosted folks feel about vibe coding, or you wouldn’t have taken immediate offence to the initial comment (which ia valid, btw. You did not mark the project as vibe-coded or ai-assisted.) MARK YOUR PROJECT AS AI-ASSISTED.

Explain where you expect inefficiency and how I can fix it, and I will.

I’m looking to replace my cron-timed ffmpeg bash and ash scripts for encoding. Three of the four projects I looked at have double- and triple-work loops for work that should be done once. This seems to be a theme in vibe-coded projects.

And incidentally, the fact that this is a personal project I shared in case someone might find it useful is another reason that coming in here and throwing shade is a shitty thing to do.

Once again, I’m interested in the project, but I have my own thresholds of quality and security. If you can’t handle questions about your project, personal or not, then maybe don’t share it.

But why try to make me feel bad about it, because you don’t like the way I built it?

Sir/Madam, your feeling are your responsibility, not mine. I did not utter any pejoratives your way. Grow up.

No one is being a jerk here, stop being defensive.

What fixes did you apply. That’s what we want to know. It’s not a trick question.

• Did you use unit tests?
• Did you check the logic flow so that if I run this code x 10,000 on a ton of media, it isn’t using terribly inefficient settings that will make my 40h workload take two weeks?
• how are you deploying this thing?

If you want to present your project, be prepared to explain it. That is completely above board for us to ask.

My main concern is also boat.
