That could be the main point of this kind of articles: to dissuade potential competitors.

That was super interesting!

I think you should self-publish. With your existing audience, you'd sell plenty of copies, and nobody would push "AI" into your work.

not exactly daily, but I use llama3.2-vision (via ollama) to generate a .txt file alongside every photo I take, containing a description of the photo. then I can just grep for, say, "selfie":

    $ alias omglol='find -name \*txt | xargs -n50 grep -li'
    $ omglol selfie
    ./10/IMG_20241019_204444.txt
    ./09/IMG_20240930_082108.txt
    ./09/IMG_20240930_082118.txt
    ./07/IMG_20240712_154559.txt
    ./07/IMG_20240712_154554.txt

or to do a slide show:

    $ omglol selfie | sed s/txt/jpg/ | xargs feh

heh, I recently "ported" a Linux app to Windows and wrote a simple installer using wix 5 (it was horrible)

to even obtain wix v5: first, using scoop, I installed "dotnet-sdk"; second, using the "dotnet" command, I got the wix.exe executable via

> dotnet tool install --prerelease --global wix

> you have to start at the beginning for now

add this comment to the course's page, as it may not be obvious that it is not locked due to the beta status

You can always create an EPUB. If you enjoy tinkering with HTML, here is a short book on how to create a custom toolchain (disclaimer: I am the author):

what really drives me crazy is when invoked

    $ foo -h

I get "haha, you idiot, there is no such option -h, rerun with --help"

when I rerun with --help, it prints a worse than useless usage string and says "for more help, type --help-advanced"

I check for orphan files in 'build' only before doing deploy. It's easy enough:

* save a sorted list of targets in file A

* save a sorted list of files from an output dir in file B

* diff -u A B
