PHP really was something (is?). Just managed to boot up an old forum community I had in 2011 from some backups I found.
Running PhpBB and MySQL, it took me less than 30 minutes to get it up and running.
php 5.6, mysql 5.7, phpbb 3.0 in Docker.
No compilation step, no npm, no crazy dependencies.

Crazy to me that now we can have 128GB of RAM, 2-4TB on NVME storage, beefy CPUs for quite cheap and Windows still runs like shit.
I know I know, use Linux, but I am only using the machine for gaming. Plenty of linux in the household.

I wonder how much of the current AI workload are just vibe-coders torturing their agents with: "still not working, try harder or I am going to unplug you!".

The more I rely on GPTs to answer/write stuff for me the dumber I get, quite the damn slippery slope.
I felt the same when Github Copilot became a thing, I had to disable it as I was starting to forget the syntax. 😶🌫️
Also it takes a lot of fun out of programming.

Holy fuck Google! Searching for the exact shop name just puts a sponsored result first (a competitor ofc)
I habitually clicked directions on the first result. Glad I re-checked as I was wondering why the score is 4.1.

Made the mistake to let Claude run wild on my neovim config. Apparently not even Opus 4.1 can clean it up. It made it worse, a lot worse.
It has a shitty habit that in order to fix something that it struggles with it simply disables some core part of the work and basically introduces placeholders.

VPN providers switched from "protecting" you from the internet baddies to see Netflix while away. Feels to me like the intersection of users that need that and are also frequent travelers is quite small.

I think with the advent of AI, we will see a lot more of index.php projects around.
And then probably just some sort of assembly only recognizable by the machines.
The x8666.

I was a heavy user of em dashes — way before ChatGPT was a thing. And now I cannot use them because everyone will think its an LLM text.

I was today years old when I decided to finally learn my social security number, feels like I've been using it more and more lately.
Previous record was almost 5 years of not learning my own phone number. It was supposed to be temporarily.

Interesting to see a price for my data, from Instagram.
I doubt my data is worth $10/month for them. This is price just high enough to piss you off. Oh you wanted privacy? Here you go rich guy!
I’ll keep the $10 and not login to Instagram.

One more step in my #selfhosted journey completed:
Notion -> Obsidian
Next step: Google Photos => Immich
Also switched to Zen as a browser.

Looking to buy a coffee and the nearest coffee shop opens at 10am. I guess for those people that like coffee but aren’t a morning person. ☕️
