Found a little surprise feature in VS Code when using the Codex extension: It recognizes # TODO: comments and inserts a little "implement with Codex" button right above the comment. I didn't click it, but that's a convenient little way to pass the TODO to a prompt!

This is way more true than I like to admit.

I just can't pry myself out of LLM subscriptions! Dropped ChatGPT for a while to save money and try out another model. Picked Gemini, but when Gemini 3 came out, everyone complained about hitting agentic coding caps in 20 minutes. So I'm back with OpenAI once again...

Another day, another security challenge. It turns out Codex runs as your logged in user, and is perfectly happy to crawl your entire file system if it decides it wants to read a particular file. I may have to start doing my vibe coding in a locked down sandbox!

Adding files to .vscode/settings.json does hide them from VS Code, but Codex can still read them. Luckily for me, my ansible vault is encrypted. Needless to say, I spent the day updating my development process to protect secrets in the future. Hooray for git-submodules!

Finally decided to try OpenAI's Codex extension in VS Code for some Ansible updates. The experience was way better than I expected. I was astonished for about 30 seconds, then spent the rest of the hour feeling existential dread for the entire tech sector.

I have seen a lot of Star Trek documentaries. A lot. I am now several episodes into The Center Seat (because it's free on YouTube now) and this is turning into my favorite Star Trek docuseries. I am really loving this!

Very productive weekend this time! My ansible playbook is now portable (using venv), contains bootstrap logic, and works on a lean install of ansible-core. Pretty sure I got some other cool stuff in there, but my memory doesn't go back that far anymore. That's old age for you.

My workflow with ChatGPT now includes these steps:
1. Start working on something complex with ChatGPT
2. Eventually discover strange advice full of errors
3. Realize that I am using ChatGPT 5
4. Switch to Legacy 4.1
5. Fix all the errors.
ChatGPT 5 doesn't feel ready for primetime, folks.

I really need to buckle down and learn tmux. There's nothing worse than having a long-running script fail because a pipe broke.

I kept wondering why I had avoided immich despite it looking so nice on the surface. I thought I remembered investigating it and settling on something simpler instead. I still can't remember, but after using Immich for a day, I'm starting to see why I might have run away from this app.

This week's self-hosted adventure was finally (re-)installing immich. Not as challenging as trying to get pigallery2 to work, but not a slam dunk, either. The big front-page warning about not trusting immich as the sole image repo makes me too nervous to really enjoy all these neat features.

The very same day I get myself moved over to a self-hosted instance of gitea, ChatGPT releases its github connector. Well it's too late, guys! To quote Maxwell Smart, "Missed it by that much!"

It's been a long evening, but now all three of my UPSes are successfully passing their sensor data through Raspberry Pis to a home assistant VM on Proxmox.
The dashboard is glorious!
This weekend: configure Home Assistant to start turning things off when the UPSes detect power outages.

It's been a productive weekend! I updated Proxmox to version 9, deployed proxmox backup server, did critical improvements on some guest OSes, and deployed some new services. My biggest takeaway from all this work is,
ChatGPT 5 is awful. Just awful.

Just astonishing work. Everything is generative AI except for the concept, script, and editing. Astonishing! Captivating! Awesome!
