I prefer to run processes directly on the host system if I can. Jellyfin is well behaved, running as its own user and not hogging RAM, and it doesn’t need dependencies that conflict with other apps/services. So I don’t see a need to add a layer of port/volume/stderr mapping.
I also ran HA and AppDaemon just in Python virtual envs. Glad to share Ansible playbooks if you’re interested.
I was very excited about open firmware and ran FreshTomato for a while. Eventually I decided it wasn’t reliable though (2.4Ghz wasn’t actually running on one router, occasional speed issues).
I switched to Unify and have had a great experience. Great visibility into link speed, which device is on which AP, able to SSH into each device and run iperf3, WiFiMan is a great debugging tool (which you don’t need their ecosystem to try), notifies me when the ISP is slow/down. There’s a bewildering array of hardware and it’s not cheap or always in stock, but there are some good guides around.
So, I’d like FOSS to be the right answer, but in this case I’m glad I switched to Unifi.
ETA: https://evanmccann.net/ubiquiti is the most useful guide. And a key aspect is Ubiquiti is the cloud services are an optional aspect, it won’t brick if they go under.
It seems like the AI never gets tired of writing code
I think that’s a telling observation. The whole reason we have software, and programming languages, is that people get tired.
Necessity has invented generally and reuse to combat repetition. With agents that don’t tire, they don’t gravitate to generally — but their endless repetition does tire their human reverse-centaur bodies dealing with the code review and maintainability they can’t reason about.
For comparison, 50 minutes to cook 3 cups of white rice (v. 1 cup of white in the original). Similar for the mid/end sections, but seems like the 1st section it drew a lot more current, maybe just more heat for a larger volume of water during the soak.
If you just run dhcpd on eth0 would that be enough? I’m assuming no based on your answer.
A good reminder that persistence can pay if even when it looks like a brick wall at first, thanks for sharing the conversation.
I do like python’s syntax, and I think it’s very expressive. But what I really enjoy about working in it over years is that it has standards that can help you write good software — there’s often one best official package to do something, there’s one style most libraries adhere to, etc — and the older ways often get deprecated. When I’m working with PHP and js, especially, that’s what consistently footguns me: closely related library functions that follow different styles/conventions, inconsistent error handling.
So I guess if you’re going to hate Python maybe that’s it. But if you’re stuck with it and want to see what you can see, those aspects could be something to reflect on. (Saying this as someone currently stuck with a bunch of legacy Perl I pretty well hate.)
Since 1990, I’ve programmed in BASIC, C, Visual Basic, PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, Ruby, MUSHcode, and some others. I am not an expert in any of these languages—I learned just enough to get the job done. I have developed my own hobby games over the years using BASIC, Torque Game Engine, and Godot,
I think this is where AI unquestionably shines: switching languages/projects frequently, on personal projects.
so I have some idea of what makes a good architecture for a modular program that can be expanded over time.
But I actually draw the opposite conclusion. The architecture and maintainability needs are where AI is pretty poor, and they’re vastly different and more important in a 100-1000 person 10 year production system.
Missing link? Or I’m just clicking badly (Boost/Android).
Why is this better than the scripting environment in other CAD systems? I’m particular, I looked a bit at https://openscad.org/ previously, though didn’t make much headway modeling the thing I wanted.
Why is a language-level approach better than just an API in an existing, popular language?
How do you use it?
My main interaction with Pinterest had been with it clogging my search results with copied images that no longer link back to their source pages.
