sfortis··on Open Code Review – An AI-powered code review CLI tool
Is not working with gpt5.x models (Unsupported parameter: 'max_tokens' is not supported with this model. Use 'max_completion_tokens' instead.) which is hardcoded. I dont know why this is on the front page. My review-with-codex skill is working just fine, consuming my usage and not API tokens.
sfortis··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
i really enjoy gemini funny answers.

3-fast:

"That is a classic "efficiency vs. logic" dilemma.

If you’re looking for a strictly practical answer: Drive. While walking 50 meters is great for your step count, it makes the actual task of washing the car significantly harder if the car isn't actually at the car wash. Unless you’ve mastered the art of long-distance pressure washing, the vehicle usually needs to be present for the scrubbing to commence."

I'm not going to try this. Anthropic will probably ban me again.

A senior developer + AI = superpowers. But some people have extremely strong resistance to change.

sfortis··on Galaxy XR: The first Android XR headset
I'm wondering why companies are still trying to sell VR headsets. History clearly speaks: bulky head-mounted devices have all epically failed.

sfortis··on Replacing cron jobs with a centralized task scheduler
Chronicle is a lifesaver. HA, clustering, API, clean UI, it's doing everything right. I'm using this also as an API wrapper for Bash and Python scripts.

sfortis··on Firefox got faster for real users in 2023
In the Speedometer 2, Firefox is much slower than Chrome, which is a bit slower than Edge. But who cares! In real life, this makes no real difference. I respect and trust the privacy of Mozilla. Features like containers and the ability to run Ublock and Tampermonkey on mobile are priceless!
sfortis··on Switching from Chrome to Firefox
I switched to Firefox about a year ago mostly for containers, plugin enabled android app and my increasing dislike for Google. Never regretted it!
