Oof yeah I always feel bad for the folks that see the crazy freestyle runway shows and think they’re being clever by recognizing how impractical the costumes are.

Honestly I think the real takeaway is how much media was already just slop used to sell ads to begin with.

Based on the title I thought this was a halting problem question and was like “oh dang OP is NOT going to like this answer…”

Small nitpick- this project isn’t Calibe-Web, it’s a fork with extra features; the idea being that you don’t also need to be running Calibre.

That’s a great way of putting it. I think in the future it will be helpful for when folks have some personal specific need. But for anything approaching even the simplest infrastructure it just doesn’t work.

CWA is the example I always point to as to why vibe coded software doesn’t make sense for broad use. CWA updates are slow (but detailed) which inspires many folks to “fork” it with vibe coded apps, but since CWAs last update in Feb, several vibe coded “competitor” projects have risen and fallen.

Me too lol I thought What’s Up Docker was for auto updates. What does it do?

I recently switched to Dockhand from Portainer and I like it a lot more, it’s much cleaner and straightforward. It also auto-updates so you might be able to ditch whats up docker too.

Everything is in docker or a virtual machine that starts on boot. Docker containers are managed with Dockhand’s web ui. Once a month I ssh and “sudo apt upgrade” but that’s it.

I tried to use olivetin to avoid having to ssh but I ran into errors I haven’t had time to investigate yet.

This is awesome I appreciate you sharing all the details with us

Google Keep is my white whale of self hosted apps. The vibe coding aspect gives me pause as I have been burned before but it is too promising to turn down so I’ll give it a shot!

I just want to say I transitioned over to Dockhand and I’m glad I did! Thanks again for the recommendation!

This has been true for a few years now, but indie studios have been making far more interesting games than the big studios. Add to that the fact that big AAA projects need to tack on tons and tons of money-making add-ons that degrade the experience in order to justify the cost of a decade of development, and the industry seems to actually be trending towards the artistry and innovation you mentioned.

Honestly I don’t remember ever hearing anyone mention Transistor since it released either. Hades definitely proved that they aren’t one hit wonders.

I am a patient gamer™ to the max but if you’re going to pay a higher price for any game this year, this is the one IMO.

Besides that, my only complaint with this game (and it is minor) is that I just can’t stand the UE5 slop anymore. I think Expedition 33 did possibly the best job I’ve ever seen with engine (the weird, amorphous detailed-but-generic textures didn’t detract as much as they usually do because of whole the painting-like aspect) but with everything else, like gameplay and story as strong as it was I would have preferred anything, even a low-res low-poly look.

What are you paying for 800gb?

You know more than me

Look into NGINX Proxy manager and DuckDNS

Portainer has worked well for me but it has so much that I don’t need or use. It looks like Dockhand has a Home Assistant integration which is nice, so I’ll check that out thanks for the rec.
