@TOrynski @getajobmike not learning new things is different from forgetting them tho, and LLM usage can vary a lot in the range from looking at a map to sleeping while the robot drives.
I am convinced coding skills can atrophize but I'm not sure it's a fast process. I haven't driven a bike in a year, but I still know how.

@cwebber it's really good

@paco@infosec.exchange why Discourse?

Use NodeBB. We keep our shit in one folder.

You can put that folder anywhere 🫠

@paco this is also important to me. 👊

But no. The discourse "easy installer" sprays shit all over /var. I'm gonna get some database down in /var/lib/docker/something and I'm going to get assets living in /var/discourse, and umpteen gajillion container images in /var/lib/docker.

But I also have fucking /var/log for OS logs, and /var/run for runtime information like PIDs, and /var/lock and /var/tmp. I think /var/most-important-app-on-the-system is NOT where you put application software. So my volume/filesystem to encapsulate discourse? Is that a big ass /var?

I love #FreeBSD because it is so well organized. They even go to trouble to make packages like postfix or apache fit the idiom, rather than let it install in /var/lib/opt/sbin/etc or some shit.

More moaning about #linux. I'm trying to get a discourse server off the ground. Why the fuck do they insist on installing non-OS stuff in the middle of all the OS stuff.

/var/discourse is not a good default. And then fucking docker wants to be /var/lib/docker. Never mind how /var/lib doesn't make any goddamn sense.

Related to my earlier discussion of hard drive partitioning. What I would like to do is have a volume that is not the operating system, but is instead all the application data. The discourse data, database, assets people upload, etc. That way I can have this nice virtual disk that encapsulates it. I could theoretically build a new node, attach this drive to the new node, and migrate the site. I can snapshot that drive more frequently than, say, the OS drive. Lots of benefits to encapsulating it.

@getajobmike It's interesting to see it grep in parallel for a dozen likely things in a codebase, like when an error string is constructed from variables and static strings or passed through a couple layers, and you have no stacktrace. But it will also get inverted about what's a diff vs code and point out some non-issue that wastes your time. If you work in a language with a lot of boilerplate like java, I can see it being too handy of a shovel.
