I was not aware of the vibe coding, but strongly suspected it considering the bugs I’ve experienced.

I have calendar events showing up on the wrong day, recurring notifications for events that don’t even exist (and therefore can’t be deleted/stopped), the current date being wrong by 3 days, yesterday showing up after today in the widget, and many more (but less impressive) bugs.

I cannot imaging a human making those mistakes, nor can I understand how it could get past QA. I guess I’ll have to start migrating again.

Why is Tuta not an option?
Is it just because you are already aware of it, or does it fail some of your requirements and if so, which ones?

Could you or someone else have bumped the screen without looking and accidentally hit the auto rotate button? It’s happened to me before when I dropped my phone and caught it by the screen.

The difference is knowledge and intent. When you copy from StackOverflow, you know what bit you copied. You even joke about copying from the question instead of the answer because you know that the question has a flawed premise, but you’ve done it anyway and it worked at least once.

By copying bits and pieces, you’ve learnt what you’re doing, and often still end up with a unique project.

Vibe coding is equivalent to ordering from the menu at a restaurant, asking for 1 or 2 items to be slightly modified, then claiming you are good at cooking because you made the dish that arrived. You have gained no skill, the food is same as everyone else who ordered that dish from that restaurant, and claiming you made it is false attribution at best and IP theft at worst.

There are a huge number of vibe coded games all jumping on the bandwagon when a novel yet simple game is successful. Something that’s not obvious when vibe coding a single project — yet becomes obvious when many people try — is that all of these projects are effectively the same. They all contain the same stolen code, and they “authors” don’t even know it.

I personally made over 80% of the existing mods for a game. When someone tried to vibe-code a new mod for the game, the only thing the AI could do was copy parts of existing mods. The parts that worked well were the functions I had used in multiple mods, and the parts that completely failed were the functions I had needed only once.
My favourite finding was that the AI had filled the “author name” field with the data it most commonly found there - my name.

AI doesn’t think, it only copies.

You would love perfectmotherfuckingwebsite then. It’s just so clean. Source

The problem with vibe coding is that AI doesn’t create, it copies. Anything “you” coded was created by someone else, AI stole their work and put it’s name on it, and now you’ve stolen their work.

A Cloudflare tunnel would bypass NAT. I don’t know enough to recommend for or against it.

This is why I ask humans instead of AI. I didn’t consider router level options.

I’ve already got dynamic DNS set up, and I’ve been meaning to set up a way to access my NAS from out of the house. This might be the final push I need.

My router is running OpenWRT (and stopped having intermittent issues after replacing the stock OS).

I’m leaning toward Tailscale for the “quick and easy” recommendation. If I need to do this again, I might try something a little more advanced.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised before.

I have 2. One has broken twice from over use, so I reprinted the broken piece and swapped it.

I personally think there is a (sometimes subtle) difference between paid software and harmful software.

Meta and X are definitely causing harm, but is something like Synergy? Sure, it costs money, but that money seems to be going to the developers. That would be no worse than paying a street vendor for food.

Likewise, finding an open-source virus and using it to hack people doesn’t absolve you of guilt.

While many large corporations tend toward capitalism, corruption and even fascism, I believe there is a lot more nuance than just paid vs free or closed vs open source.

I really wanted GrapheneOS, but ended up with /e/OS on a fairphone because I refuse to give Google any more money.

After replacing the default launcher with Lawnchair, I’m pretty happy with it. The physical switch (remapped to control the torch) is a nice touch.

I realise pebble is designed for tech enthusiasts and not really for fitness, but the time 2 does have a step counter, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker.

Is it possible that a community made app could do what you want?

I ordered a duo, but they ran out sooner than expected, so I guess I’m getting a time 2. I can’t really complain because it is better, but I was excited for the barometer.

If you’re interested in tinkering, or you just want a watch you can completely own, Pebble has returned.

One of the best file sharing programs. I have it on all of my devices.
