Is it really that useful if you need to test on real hardware anyway?

And the remaining 5% are unpatched Joomla and Drupal installs.

I'm not sure what's Gopher-specific in this article. While HTTP is more complicated and more capable, it is still something a human can understand, and it is still possible to make a HTTP request using nothing but netcat.

Omarchy is just Arch + config + slop + fascism, you can just build your own desktop, and you can skip the last two.

I guess slop machines can't do that, or are prevented by auto mode.

So it's just GPT's vague memories of Picasa? Vibe coders have no shame.

Is it really?

First commit (by Claude Opus 5.5) is from October 1st, and it's very empty: https://sourceforge.net/p/zac-os-9/code/ci/eddaec8ab21df697a...

Second commit, seven minutes later: https://sourceforge.net/p/zac-os-9/code/ci/3784bf686346ca228...

Third commit, 14 minutes later: https://sourceforge.net/p/zac-os-9/code/ci/4f2a87efd6a00592a...

If the code existed earlier, would Claude take 14 minutes to commit it? Would Claude make changes to files instead of committing the final version from the start?

The use of Sourceforge might trick you into thinking it's an ancient project built by a human, but nah, it's a month-old slopfest. Yawn.

If DHH disapproves of something, you know it must be good.

The community of people fluent in Rust who care about Python packaging and who are not Astral employees is tiny.

Don't worry, they'll find a way to enshittify the product at one point. uv went from being a VC-funded tool written in another language (i.e., with a limited contributor pool) to being an AI bubble-funded tool, so it's not something I'd trust would be maintained for a long time.

A LLM produced tons of irrelevant slop and you're expecting other humans to read it.

If you're going to fully delegate something so trivial as Dockerfiles to slopmachines, why go to university at all? You don't need to learn anything if you delegate everything to the slopmachine.

It might have been little-known in your corner of the world, but I understand it's definitely not little-known in India.

You might have heard of DigiCert or IdenTrust, but what, exactly, makes them trustworthy, and why eMudhra wouldn't be considered trustworthy (a week ago)?

If they hadn't done that, I would have expected the browsers to do it for them sooner or later by distrusting their root certs.
