I forget who said this to me, but it's great - it feels like agents are DDoSing our attention. Historically, popular projects would have this from humans sure but the time spent interacting with those people felt worth it for exactly the reasons you outline. When we put time into code review, sometimes even holding people's hands through completing a PR, the benefit is that we get highly motivated passionate community members who will contribute - and that's not even necessarily through code. Contributions come in all shapes: code, docs, ideas, sharing the project, etc.

Open source is as much a philosophy as the code being available to download. It's great in many ways that the barrier to software has lowered, people can create the things they need even if they're not technical. However, one side effect is that we loose crowd sourced software - everyone's ideas coming together to make something better. Individual software has it's place, but there's also a massive benefit to a community of people with different backgrounds and ideas working to make something the best it can be. Also even with LLMs there's still a burden to maintaining individual software, and even if you pull in other peoples AI generated code there's no guarantee they'll continue to maintain it. With people who are passionate about a project, you can trust in them to carry it on as long as they can - and instead of spending that money on tokens, you can donate to them.

I also agree that LLMs have a place in Open Source - I think this post beautifully extends the message that Daniel Roe posted about (https://roe.dev/blog/using-ai-in-open-source/) - not letting an LLM speak or think for you. I'm perfectly happy to put time into reviewing AI code as long as the people behind that PR are, well, people. Tools like AgentScan are helping reduce the burden of the spam that doesn't follow the contributing guidelines, and giving us time back to review real PRs.

but it still increases compile time, attack surface area, bandwidth use, etc.

exciting!!

This looks super cool! Will try to find some to compare it to the setup I'm on now

> reads like an ad for something called AdGuard (I use unbound for most of this).

Definitely not an AD - it's just the best option that I found, and have been super happy with it! There are lots of ways to do this (people have shared even more options in the comments here), and for a lot of people AdGuard/Pi-hole/... are the relatively easier options

I haven't gotten this deep into it yet, but I hope to! It's very interesting - will try to be clearer next time :D /gen

I apologise that it wasn't as clear as it could've been! What I was trying to get at is that for my requirements Pi-hole simply can't do it all without faff (DoH being the main one).

> I don't think calling the ISP was actually what they didn't feel like doing. It is more the call itself. Being put on queue with wait music, dealing with first line customer support who have no clue what you are asking, waiting to be connected to the right support, being connected to the wrong support, being put on hold again, suddenly being hung up on, rinse, repeat.

Exactly this... we have enough issues with our internet I didn't want to add this into the mix - especially as if they decide to not really give me a static IP, then I have to change it everywhere :/

I trust my VPS provider far more than my ISP

The post was about self-hosting, not about the subscription. I do think the subscription is a good way to do it though!

My journey of DNS, including self-hosting with Pi-hole and AdGuard Home, using paid services like NextDNS and AdGuard DNS, and public privacy-respecting resolvers.

This is amazing!

It depends on what CDE you go with, some like Gitpod support vim/emacs well via their Terminal editor. But you're not wrong about VSCode being the first class citizen.

I totally agree, while I use VSC myself it's important they stay agnostic. I mentioned "The ideal CDE is [...] enabling you to use all the tools and software you love.". A lot of the CDEs are now becoming less tied to VSC so it's worth checking out some that aren't!

Webcontainers is so awesome, also super easy to build with!

Some thoughts about Cloud Developer Environments from using them the past year!

This is awesome!!

Amazing!

That IP list does not contain warp ip addresses. It contains IPs that are used in cloudflare networks such as Proxying with the orange cloud or tunnels

The point of that list is if you are behind a cloudflare proxy in some form and only want to allow traffic from cloudflare
