Thanks :) I'll have a look and get back to you if I want to go this path!

Now a little more in-depth response. Thanks again for your feedback, I could relate to all points you mentioned. - You are totally right. The "Try it for free" could very easily hint at cost down the line. I have changed it :) - C

Hey gooba, danke danke danke! I'll have a go through all your points tomorrow, greatly appreciated! Especially since when you work on something for so long, you just can't see things with fresh eyes anymore. So it really is great

Yea, that's what I gathered as well. So what do you think about checking against compromised passwords?
5.
by Leomuck 5mo ago
Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate it. I think that makes a lot of sense. I also like the idea of passwordless, I'll definitely have a look at that!

Oh, and I missed the middle part of your post. Fair question! I do think it is quite sustainable. For that to make sense you might have to know me better, but my perspective is I have a good paying job, I have money and especially time to s

Hey gooba! Thanks for wanting to try it out. And sorry, you ran into this issue. It appears Laravels throttling function doesn't work well with my reverse proxy setup. I have disabled it for now. I have just tried it out and registerin

Yes, I did read up a lot about password security the last few years. But still, I'm worried a very secure policy restricts people from registering at all, see case above. What would you say is a good compromise? Another thought I have

by Leomuck 5mo ago
Fair! I did think about this a lot. Initially, I also thought "8 characters of any kind" are fair enough. Then read a lot and decided a bit more security would be good. But honestly, given what you wrote, I did find myself happy t

I’ve been building something over the last year, with probably 1000 hours going into it. A personal management app that does almost everything while being privacy-focused, no-bullshit, open-source and selfhostable. It’s called solyto. I&#x2

Wtf. Just wtf.

No worries, I love to hear about alternatives and other approaches. I'll definitely have a look, thanks!

Good point indeed! I've been feeling Claude Code has gotten worse for a while now, read many articles on it, overall probably due to cost saving. But if you set your things up to depend on it, that becomes a huge issue.

Exactly! I know, some of those companies sometimes refund you, but if your livelihood depends on it..? That's a crazy situation to be in as a mere developer.

by Leomuck 5mo ago
Yes, and you should! But not doing so resulting in this seems kind of over-the-top. Basically means an oversight can result in your bankcruptcy?

I'm a full-stack software dev, proficient in AI but also sceptical. I've found that staying away from the hype is key. Stop thinking about "WHAT COULD THIS DO", but rather try to find cases where LLMs actually benefit. I

What I have asked myself the last few months: I've read about IPv4 becoming sparce a few years ago. I haven't read much about it lately. And I've thought maybe the advance of cloud computing and load balancer kind of mitigate

That's actually crazy. So I can build a project I love, that does good, but somehow get in a situation where I'm accidentally paying 30.000€ (or 50.000€) to a big tech company? How is that fair? I mean yes, as a software engineer,

Well what kind of meaning do you find in brute force? I'm not saying it's not effective. I just critisize the news that make it look like AI is the a revolutionary advance in security. It is not. It makes skills available to many

by Leomuck 5mo ago
Honestly, if every software project ran an AI-based security check over their code, the software world would probably be more secure. Of course, there are lots of projects who don't need that, having skilled people behind it, but we&#x

All the news regarding AI finding weaknesses or "hacking" stuff - is that actually hacking? Isn't it also a kind of bruteforce attack? Just throw resources at something, see what comes out. Yea, some software security issues

Enshittification at its best. I used Postman for several years before it become unusable for me. Didn't actually think too much about it, tried several alternatives (ApiDog, Bruno), but none came to the comfort Postman gave me before t

I do agree that the overall tendency towards cloud has made things much more complicated and expensive than they need to be in many cases. Cloud has its place, but so do simple server instances. Many projects won't reach any kind of sc

What the hell. First, I thought this was crazy. How could you do anything crazy with curl? But of course, curling a bash script opens lots of opportunities. Given the right permissions, you could run an enterprise Jira server via only a cur

Oi! Fair. I didn't want to imply that access to water, shelter and food was less important. Not at all! It's crazy that we have more than enough for everybody and still people die from hunger, thirst, conditions. I was only trying

I find it quite irritating that the Linux Foundation posts this and gives Anthropic free marketing. Yes, they offer credits for open-source, and yes, it can help making open-source more secure, but still.. feels off. Like I expected such a
