Sorry guys I’m out of the loop - could someone explain this?

I think learning how to make packages for package managers is also becoming less popular :(

Even learning how to do the simplest thing possible that is easy to package by anybody - something like a tarball or zip - is becoming less popular :(

Hey no problem :) I totally understand and read through the linked README. FWIW I find the fact that Lemmy is in Rust, pretty… tricky. Getting Lemmy to run on my OpenBSD server started with a couple of crazy segfaults!

You may be able to run a torrent client on the NAS?

I don’t know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I’d rather just see replies to the post from actual people.

Haha no worries mate I totally get you. One of the best things about LLMs when I’ve played with them is it exercises my ability to write questions and requirements

Let’s say a function, about 20 lines. Something too small to warrant an external dependency but tricky enough that you don’t want to keep rewriting it.

I have things like a function to read through a file of newline delimited text of key-value pairs separated by whitespace. It skips comments (lines beginning with “#”), and returns the pairs. I’m happy to do a little copying instead of having a little dependency.

I mean, I get it. But… damn… can you imagine the relative computing power required to read a text file versus asking a LLM to generate that same text?
