Yesterday I decided to upgrade my current graphics card from a Radeon 6800 XT to a more recent 9070 XT. The old workhorse has kept me going for about 6 years now. It was about time. Frame rate in ARC Raiders dropped below 70 sometimes... and as you know, FPS is everything. And I refuse to lower settings to maintain stable FPS ;-)

Say what you want about DHH and Omarchy, but the idea that you think of a "plugin" or "app" that you're missing and simply have it developed for you is a pretty rad idea honestly.
Especially if it continues to use things like QuickShell for UI integration, it makes for a pretty smooth experience.
I have not tried it myself yet, but have been toying with the idea of switching from Fedora to NixOS but that's another story I guess haha

On the topic of LLM-generated software there is one thing I've only grown more concerned and confident about - the need for systems design and architecture thinking.
From what I've experienced, both anecdotally and first-hand, is that LLM-generated software systems eventually devolve, and when they do it happens quickly.
One deviation in a pattern (assuming they even existed to begin with) will very quickly spiral out of control. One extra API-endpoint will be considered authoritative and justification for another, slight variation of the first.
If a system continues to receive new components, new material it will eventually find itself in a desperate state of repair, possibly even to the extent that it will require such a massive refactor it may actually be cheaper to rebuild entirely.
These "cracks" will not exist in smaller pieces of software, they are simply too small to exhibit these patterns. But with sufficient enough code base, with reasonable complexity it will start showing up at the seams.
If someone were to tell me they have not seen this, I would genuinely render me incredulous as to how they have managed to instruct a system to never bend a written, or more probably unwritten, rule of system design and architecture.
So, back to the original point. Software generation may be "solved" but systems design and architecture sure as hell is not "solved" and no amount of prompting will easily solve this IMHO.
It requires contextual queues coming from business domain language, societal rules and guidelines, and just sometimes... very simple human intuitive reasoning about a feature.

I need to migrate off Hetzner S3 storage which unfortunately is now into their 10th day of "no news regarding our degraded service".
So... I need a new provider with European alternatives.
Anyone got suggestions for that?
