RE: https://mstdn.games/@britt/116013094706931728

So, I helped Britt out with moving her instance to a new server provider this week.

While the people at toot.io were relatively helpful in our email chain (once she was finally able to get a hold of them in the first place anyways), the setup at toot.io was a bit strange and not optimized for an instance of her size. The actual server itself was well *over*powered for her to be seeing the slowdowns she was, and Mastodon & especially Postgres just weren’t using those resources to a full extent.

Honestly the biggest red flag 🚩🚩🚩 to me isn’t what toot.io is doing now necessarily, but that it was apparently sold(?) to completely new management without notice to customers. In a niche service industry like this, that seems like a big problem to me, to not even explain who’s taking over and why you should trust them.

The previous ownership is probably more at fault for this relatively speaking, but it’s probably a good opportunity for toot.io customers to reevaluate their hosting options… Even if you ultimately end up sticking with toot.io, you simply might not be fully aware of what’s going on over at your own hosting company anymore, and that’s always worth double-checking 👀

I don’t know success with LLMs yet? But the failures are still quite amusing.

I tried to have copilot (in GitHub code spaces) make me a mkosi config to build an Ubuntu image.

It produced something that didn’t work, and I tried to teach(?) it how to run mkosi so it could iterate on fixes, it arrived at the following conclusion:

“The terminal environment sees broken”

It was running ‘mkosi’ and ignoring the error messages and only checking the exit code (1), and then re-running with ‘sudo mkosi | head -100’ and again ignoring the text output *BUT* it did notice the zero exit code. And reported that the terminal must be broken? I dunno.

Friends, ‘head’ will exit zero in almost all cases.

I closed the code space because I was so baffled I didn’t know what else to try. Maybe next month I’ll try again and it’ll do something.

In since post-Xcode Agentic coding we’re all having the “are LLMs compilers” conversation again…

It’s really helpful to think of LLM’s as databases of _someone else’s code._ That pretty quickly establishes good bounds of what they are and what they are not. They’re a bit more than that but still fundamentally constrained by the data.

That also gives you a good sense of the ethics, and the progress curve. They can really progress only as long as they have data to gobble up.

@stroughtonsmithSteve Troughton-Smith I'm at a point where if I'm getting this shoved down my throat and be forced to use LLMs for everything, I'll just quit and do something else. I'm here for the art, the thinking, the human factor. If I'm forced to be replaced by AI then so be it and I'll just go garden or something else AI can't ruin.

Someone got really upset with me on Blacksky because I said Black, Brown and Native folks shouldn't trust the intentions of white people in the US based on the their history of constantly betraying the interest of every other social group.

The interesting part is that they kept trying to create the context that what happens in the US happens everywhere, which is demonstrably not true, and even if it was, it doesn't excuse the havoc the white political body has caused for a very long time.

I was just fascinated with how far they took it an attempt to avoid acknowledging a basic reality of life in the US.

LOL, and they weren't even from the US!
