if you know how to code, you can vibe code because you can immediately see and be confident enough to identify and not use obvious mistakes, oversights, lack of security, and missed edge cases the LLM generated.

if you don't know how to code, you can't vibe code, because you think the LLM is smarter than you and you trust it.

Imagine saying "I'm a mathematician" because you have a scientific calculator. If you don't know the difference between RAD and DEG and you just start doing calculations without understanding the unit circle, then building a bridge based on your math, you're gonna have a bad time.

what does pressing objects into clay to capture their shape have to do with OP's question?

Wrong.

Seagulls imply the existence of Rivergulls, Lakegulls, Mountiangulls, Desertgulls, Forestgulls, Plaingulls, Valleygulls, Hillgulls, etc.

If you don't feel comfortable fixing it where you are, search for a maker space. libraries in larger cities often have a maker space where you can get tools and expertise to complete these sorts of tasks. They may even be able to connect you with people willing to help for free. It's highly unlikely that you will break your computer by replacing the thermal paste on the video card just ground yourself by touching a door knob or faucet before working on the system and don't shuffle your feet on carpet in between the door knob and your workspace. That should eliminate most static shock which could cause damage to your circuits.

so this is definitely going to be the cheapest and jankiest option, but you can basically implement it instantly.

buy a digital outlet timer and schedule it to be on from 03:01 am - 02:59am. The router will lose power for 2 minutes at 3am in the cabin, but it will get rebooted every day.

but i can tell you this is an industry standard enterprise approach to this type of issue.

the Bar Association makes bi-partisan recommendations on judges. They're often take suggestions from both defense and prosecuting attorneys and if a judge leans too harsh or too lenient then they'll recommend a vote against.

Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That's a datapoint they now have to ID you: "has an ad-blocker"

Now let's say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn't. They see your browser doesn't load that ad. Another datapoint: "Not using AdBlockPlus".

Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.

Now you visit another site, and lo and behold, all the same quirks are found. Tada, they now say "hm, probably the same browser," and start personalizing content. Site use an ad network, so it's the common denominator, not the sites you visit. The ad networks do the between-sites tracking.

also, VPN does diddly squat when you login to some service like google, facebook, xitter, amazon, outlook, reddit, etc. You logged in as you. They don't give a shit you're logging in from another IP. And if the sites are working with the same ad network, if you've ever logged in from your real IP even once, they they just add another datapoint about you: "Sometimes uses a VPN" and that gets tucked away in your permanent record.

nothing you do online is private. I'm not saying "give up" but it's pretty bleak and I don't see it getting better anytime soon.

i fucking love that this exact problem was solved until Reddit unsolved it by charging exorbitant API fees and effectively killed 3rd party apps and forced everyone onto their shitty app.

Chinese will never be the official global language and I'll give you 8,105 simplified reasons why...

Probably why Macron is in power and not Le Pen and the fascists.

maybe i'm a fool, but i think i might be able to do it...

no one wants this, but everyone is indoctrinated into writing it that way and changing it would be a herculean task, probably recommending the format via NIST, which probably requires a functioning government to adopt it on governmental websites and forms, so first we have to create one of those...

you dropped this:

sudo chown user:user -R / will get me to reinstall.

For many recipes that call for sugar as a flavoring agent (as opposed to recipes that require it for structure like hard candy, toffee, peanut brittle, caramel or crunchy cookies, etc.) I find that I can halve the amount of sugar it calls for and it tastes fine to me...and I do like sweets. I'm starting to agree with GBBO that American recipes are far too sweet and just don't need it, but to each their own.

HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR??!?! idk, i'm just bakin stuff i like man...
