I think you should figure out how to quit while you're ahead. I wouldn't expose Samba to most of the devices on my LAN, never mind the internet.

Again, we understand your argument and I don't doubt that the model "understands" your request and agrees to do it (insofar that LLMs are able to "understand" anything). But just because the model is agreeing to &qu

Ah, the "you're using the wrong model" fallacy (is there a name for this?) In the eyes of the evangelists, every major model seems to go from " This model is close to flawless at this task, you MUST try this TODAY "

The government has outlawed murder but your local law enforcement isn't investigating the murders. You're blaming the lawmakers for writing "bad laws" in this situation, why? First order of blame goes to the national DPA

You need to understand that GDPR and consent requirements affect far more than just online ads and ad-related tracking. For example a website is legally required to ask for consent if they want to share your purchase history with data broke

This is a myth. I don't think there is a single court ruling that would support this interpretation anywhere on the planet.

The page on the Second law of thermodynamics has a chapter on "Liberal abuse of second law of thermodynamics". I wasn't sure if I was reading an imitation of The Onion that tries to take itself too seriously.

So your take is that every real software developer I know is simply bad at using this magical tool that performs on the level of mid-senior level software engineer in the hands of a few chosen ones? But the chosen ones never build anything

I've wanted to switch to nftables on some of my systems but found that some software or other depended on iptables (e.g. Docker Engine, Proxmox). Use nftables if you can get away with it but iptables-specific knowledge is still extreme

This is hilarious because for me Cursor with GPT-5 often generates Elixir that isn't even syntactically correct. It needs to be told not to use return statements, and not to try to index linked lists as arrays. Code is painfully non-id
