    This episode:

    PieFed

    A Lemmy/Mbin alternative written in Python with Flask.

    Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.

    Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.

    AGPL.

    First class moderation tools.

    Project goals

    To build a federated discussion and link aggregation platform, similar to Reddit, Lemmy, Mbin interoperable with as much of the fediverse as possible.

  2. Whenver someone suggest that companies should just simply selfhost LLMs on their machines because they have tried it at home and it works.

    I notice what everyone expects or takes for granted:
    - the latest and biggest model
    - availability (redundancy anyone?)
    - high response time (okay, in a company with hundreds or thousands of users, you have to share the hardware)
    - freedom to choose arbitrary models (okay, how many can you run in parallel in one machine?)
    - be cheaper than hyperscalers

    And having people maintaing it all ..

  3. @echo_pbreyer #WorksOnMyMachine Danke, für die Antwort trotzdem. Großer Fan! Danke vor allem für die Hilfe Assange zu befreien!

  4. Just to be on record:
    I honestly didn’t expect that even non-YAML code (👀 @nuke build – yeah, I’m talking to you...) would require just as many fucking never-ending commits.
    Azure DevOps has proven me wrong. (lol)

    The real pain point?
    No local test run
    No Run pipeline locally
    Zero feedback until you PR, merge, and let it rip on main

    So yeah, we’re basically testing on the main branch. In production. In 2025.
    For everything else, there’s: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also, I firmly believe that not only Carthage must be destroyed, but also:

    - CI/CD with no local feedback loop
    - “Works on my machine” excuses
    _ YAML files that silently break on pasted tabs
    - And every doc that starts with “just”

    And yes — I really thought nuke build would make things better...
    But after 24 hours of commits, checks, and trial-and-error, I’ve been proven otherwise (and I really wanted to make it work and local debugging is awesome — but it’s useless when the docs are a soggy mess and don’t reflect reality.)

  5. 🚀 Scott Werner has discovered the ultimate secret: fix bugs by throwing cents at them! 💸 In a valiant attempt to make sense of "Wasting Inferences," readers are left wondering if there's an actual point or if it's just another episode of "Works on My Machine." 😅

  6. deepseek-r1:8b can correctly provide the number of R's in the word STRAWBERRY, a thing openAI didn't manage to accomplish with their absurd amounts of money.

  7. So Piero ist soweit dass ichs in die Welt hinaus lassen möchte. Mit vielen Videos ausprobiert und funzt soweit sehr gut.

    (Ihr kriegts sicher noch kaputt mit kaputten Videofiles. etc. :) )

    Kleines Demovideo:

    Für die zwei Leute hier, die Videos unter Linux bearbeiten: Viel Spaß :)

  8. Oh, another CLI tool powered by Node.js. How… innovative. Let me just spin up a new isolated environment, wrangle dependencies, and pray my Node version aligns with your masterpiece. Truly, the pinnacle of software engineering. 👏

    Am I the only person which is annoyed of these script kiddy solutions, where you need a whole dev environment to use a CLI tool?
    We even generate Infrastructure in Node.js. What can go wrong. 🤷‍♀️ The quality of tools is embarrassing nowadays, and it does not get better with AI.

  9. @Cocoanetics You can even just add the Bundle version key (short) with Xcode in the Info.plist of the Beta 6. #Worksonmymachine™ 🙃

  10. @jsoriano @aral “But I hang around in a few nice 60-users chatrooms! #WorksOnMyMachine

  11. @sparkdustjoe Most cloud machines and build agents live in UTC in order to reduce this kind of issue.
    But then you get things that work in the cloud but "fails on my machine" - an anti - #worksonmymachine

  12. @richcampbell @carlfranklin Since you keep asking, here's a toot for you. Why do you guys hate Safari so much? 😂 #worksonmymachine
    Nice show with @ardalis -- good summary of today's "correct way to do architecture". dotnetrocks.com/details/1831

  13. @grumbulon that's odd #worksonmymachine

    It isn't it tho, what I want to know is of other matrix servers, ideally private and secure. Which I know the main one and probably nothing using synapse is.
