side note, i absolutely love Infisical’s self-hosted offering. it’s really easy to get set up with and aside from a few minor problems with their Universal Auth, i had it working in production in just a few days. it’s made secret management

wow, my attention span is terrible - the first time i tried watching a generated video, i instinctively held the right side of the screen to speed it up to 2x… is there scope for allowing users to search for / ask about specific topics

unfortunately, it's close to useless in 2026. i'll take an excerpt from arkenfox's repo as to why: > Replacing some version specific scripts on CDNs with local versions is not a comprehensive solution and is a form of enum

hey, not accusing you of anything (bad assumptions don't lead to a conducive conversation) but did you use AI to write or assist with this comment? this is totally out of my own self-interest, no problems with its content
