Just bring a sleep mask.

> bugs are not so scary anymore

Umm, what?

Bugs can cause user data loss in production, or total system outages, or a slew of other Really Bad Things. How are you planning to vibecode your way out of that after the fact?

Carrok··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
You have fallen victim to what is known as “marketing”.
Carrok··on Elevated error rate across multiple models
If you care about privacy at all, you can route your Opencode requests through an inference provider that does not retain any logs or data. It is also much cheaper. So if your boxes include `Privacy` and `Affordability`, then no, they don't tick the same boxes.
Carrok··on My Homelab AI Dev Platform
It can connect to any model hosted anywhere.
Carrok··on Show HN: Vet turned founder, AI lawn diagnosis
I agree, broadly, with your statement. I am removing my entire front yard to xeriscape. I compost and am otherwise environmentally active and conscious.

That said, plenty of people _do_ actually use their lawns, especially those of us with children. My actual grass lawn is surrounded by native and low water use plants, but my small patch of green (around 2k sqft), will stay green until my kids move out.

I think it's much more useful to target the endless industrial and commercial parks that have far more grass than a normal size neighborhood. Let people have some joy in their lives.

Carrok··on The new bibliomaniacs
Maybe the cartridges could even contain the actual music. On an engraving that stores the audio information perhaps. This engraving could be played back and reproduce the audio. It probably would never work though.
Carrok··on I am retiring from tech to live offline
Typically two sentences directly following one another are related. You are missing a paragraph to separate your completely unrelated thoughts. The person you are replying to has a normal way of passing information. You need to work on how you present your information.

"Getting your kids addicted to M:TG" should also include showing those kids how to order proxy cards for much cheaper.
Carrok··on Samsung chip workers will get an average $340k bonus as AI profits soar
> People are billionaires because they “share with society”. They take a small fraction of the wealth and surplus they create.

I truly cannot believe that anyone with an ounce of empathy or integrity could possibly believe a statement as absurd as this.

Carrok··on I switched from Mac to a Lenovo Chromebook
I have no issue with liquid glass. IMO it’s a few people making a bunch of noise about vanishingly minor complaints. So, like all things, not universal.
Carrok··on I want to live like Costco people
This has nothing to do with Costco. You have described a relationship/communication problem, not a Costco problem.
Carrok··on Show HN: Hiraeth – AWS Emulator
Looks cool! Now add (simulated) billing. ;)
Carrok··on YouTube users get option to set their Shorts time limit to zero minutes
I'm confused why you're bringing up parents and kids. Are you implying only children might have problems with self-control wrt media consumption?
Carrok··on How to breathe in fewer microplastics in your home
Curious why you say this when the linked article says the best thing you can do is avoid synthetic textiles
Carrok··on A truck driver spent 20 years making a scale model of every building in NYC
"We overestimate what we can achieve in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a year."
Carrok··on Hold on to Your Hardware
I have been self hosting for years. The maintenance is minimal to nonexistent. You are conflating modern SaaS with a stable OSS docker image.
Carrok··on How the world’s first electric grid was built
> Stanley's system was however an experimental system designed to be proof of concept. It was short lived as the weak points in the system in the system eventually shut the system down (Westinghouse's steam engine was unreliable and the Siemens generator was 'unsatisfactory').

Wow, someone figured out how to reproduce dang? Nice.
Carrok··on Vim 9.2
The copilot plugin works well
Carrok··on The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory
From your source:

> Effective pile management and aeration are key to minimizing CH4 emissions.

So it sounds like a correctly managed pile is not a problem.

Also, I have a hard time believing my composting in my backyard is in any way worse than my sending the same food scraps to a landfill.

Carrok··on The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory
I've started composting. I'm sure that'll outweigh the average Vegas visitor's emissions. /s

I'm being a bit facetious obviously, but it does feel a bit like tilting against windmills. We need policy and systemic changes, if we're relying on individuals to all collectively start doing the "right thing", we're sunk.

Yes, that Toyota. Looks like it came out of this group. https://www.toyotaconnected.com/about
Carrok··on Communities are not fungible
I can’t disagree with this more. Even on discord I have four accounts for different contexts. One, my real name. Another, my gaming name. Another, my music/stage name. Another still, a different gaming name. Why? Because I don’t want people in any of those contexts knowing anything about who I am in the other contexts. This is a feature, not a bug.
Carrok··on GitHub discusses giving maintainers control to disable PRs
"I am fine with my code being public, but I am not fine being badgered by people about changes I have no interest in." is a perfectly valid stance.

Most just call them the government.

Yes.

Not OP but OpenCode and DeepInfra seems like an easy way.
Carrok··on Track Your Routine – Open-source app for task management
I’m not sure this as widely held a practice as you would think. For an app as low stakes as this I couldn’t care less who wrote the code, as long as it does what it says (and only what it says) on the box.
