sick storm
ok it runs, kind of
you can tell the linux build is not stable
but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change projects
worthy lintel
top left i think
sick storm
yeah there's just the one I opened
worthy lintel
there's no alt menu either so idk how to do anything
oh it has similar binds to vscode
ctrl shift p brings up command palette
sick storm
I'll give it a few more years to mature
but it's cool i guess
this + already core dumped once doesnt sound very stable
worthy lintel
but rust is meant to be safe!!!
sick storm
the fact that I'm using NixOS probably has something to do with these errors
worthy lintel
error message definitely reads that way
assuming different distros handle binding values differently
sick storm
yea because the editor is trying to install these language servers onto my system automatically
nixos is not having any of that
but that is to be expected
I dont like the copilot and ai integration

Wow I hate website building
or it's probably my plugins suck
I need to align a button's text but the only way to do that (from the official website) is through CSS
And guess what, CSS is paywalled
what?
sick storm
what exactly are you using to build this website
seems like one of those shitty drag and drop platforms
lean river
Elementor?
Man that's what the course recommended to use
I joined a website building course and like I got to a point where the site is up and I can add menus
But still I am a complete dummy but I know what CSS does and that's not happening here
lean river
But still I am a complete dummy but I know what CSS does and that's not happenin...
(well not complete, I took an HTML as a course 7 years ago and completely forgot it all because I pursued language and music)
Ease of Use UI is what I need right now so it might be blasphemy for this channel but I want to touch as little code as I can
sick storm
the thing about these easy builders is if you want to do anything outside of the predetermined building blocks it's just not going to work
lean river
Well
Easy is priority right now lmao I just need this to be kinda simple and "set and forget"
I don't need animations I just need accessibility and
What you call it
Responsiveness
Yeah my plugins suck ass
but I don't know if I can even switch a website builder if I want because .... well I dunno, probably gonna break everything that I have set up?
I want to call myself a tech enthusiast but code is my lava because now I remember why I hated it despite taking 5 semesters of it
worthy lintel
.my-button {
text-align: center;
}
Well that's gonna be a problem
See pic I sent above
lean river
Elementor 
sick storm
that's what im sayingg
worthy lintel
just use squarespace
sick storm
it seems to be a wordpress plugin(?)
lean river
IUNNO MAN I am a kid here in website building
worthy lintel
oh god even worse
lean river
I mean it does the job of making it fairly easy for me to understand
You have a space
Drag and drop an element
Position and modify it
And tbh that's where I want to keep it
But as a Photoshop user
Text alignment on an element is ......basic ass shit
The fact that I have to use CSS to align text is sus
worthy lintel
not really
if it was an option on the button element then it would just apply style="text-align:center;" anyway
locking css behind a paywall is the sus part
lean river
By default, the text in Elementor Button widgets is aligned to the center. However, you can use custom CSS to align the text button to the left, right, or justified. This can be useful for creating buttons to match or align with your website design.
Literally their FAQ page
worthy lintel
lol
lean river
Another sus part, nowhere on their page says "this feature is for Pro users"
hot pawn
that being an FAQ is so alien to me
sick storm
This is definitely on purpose LOL
they KNOW people want to align text and put it behind a paywall
lean river
Okay surface leveling
I am on WordPress
What'a a better site builder but before that if I change a site builder, will it break anything I've set up currently?
sick storm
most likely it will break everything
hot pawn
squarespace is pretty good, but they dont have a free tier
i liked wix when i tried it in school, they do have a free version
wix let you edit pretty much every cosmetic detail, but i havent used it in like 8 years so it might have changed
sick storm
lean river
OK BOIS
I am moving on from Elementor (which is shit)
pls recommend some easy to set up website builder for WordPress
worthy lintel
rewriting something small in go and im not sure how i feel about the stdlib
i'm so used to things like Array.map, .filter etc so needing to just make empty arrays and use for loops feels wrong

do we have any devops nerds in
need suggestions on how to architect a db layer for multi-tenancy that requires data isolation
currently using turso but they've rugpulled on two fronts:
- deprecated schema templates, so now i'm running on an unsupported architecture
- migrated to AWS. i'm grandfathered into their flyio instances but can't migrate to AWS because they don't support a region i need
increasingly looking like i'm gonna need to roll my own setup thats deployed tonregions but managing migrations for that sounds like a nightmare

do we have any devops nerds in
It’s tmi, but I’m totally a nerd in mathematics, science and any fields of academics.
lean river
Something else
I don't do shit programming but I know my way around package managers/cli apps
Or rather
worthy lintel
claude code and opencode are better cli tools but i don't think either of those support signing in with google accounts, only api keys
lean river
I used to know programming in CLI since I've been scarred with Vim in the three years I had wit compsci
lean river
claude code and opencode are better cli tools but i don't think either of those ...
Fair
I am making my max use of my AI Pro sub
worthy lintel
gemini 3 might be coming soon so you're probably in luck
worthy lintel
you'd like claude opus or gpt-5-high then
lean river
Maybe
But I am this far submitted my blood to the heathens of Google I might as well expand my Google ecosystem
Inject Gemini to my blood
Like I am already knee deep
Everyone else would tell me this isn't a wise decision and I kinda feeling like dat rn
But the unlimited Meet and the 2.5 Pro is hard to pass
Since I am also part-time educator
worthy lintel
meh if you get use out of it 
lean river
Oh yeah definitely

does anyone have strong feelings about specific linux distro
dapper basin
I seen Mint getting lots of praise,thinking on joining that and learning how to use it
Later down when I feel comfortable I want to try out Arch
jolly crystal
im done w windows and bouta try switching my laptop first, planning on trying endeavorOS first which is based on arch but is a little less daunting to me lol
ive only ever used debian, ubuntu, and red hat back in the day. i feel old hearing all these newer distros lol
mint is the one i would try next if i dont like endeaver lol
jolly crystal
i was curious what people think in general, not w a specific use in mind!
worthy lintel
nix fixes this
jolly crystal
my friend said nix is the most popular these days?
i didnt really see it being recommended much tho
worthy lintel
idk about most popular, leroy will know more
it's liked because you can configure the entire system in code and your environment is reproducible easily, more of a power user thing
jolly crystal
ah i see

I looked at the resource monitor and its crazy how much ram is being used

i was having hard drive issues yesterday (laptop is 10 years old lol) but when i have the time i'll try again

I bought one from Walmart
For like $4
right? its ridiculous
Issue I had was the boot issue and disabling the Intel Ray Something
So I had to go back in the boot
after I installed it, I deleted the windows partition
I aint dealing with the bullshit
worthy lintel
using a different bootloader can break windows' secure boot too right?
which is a no-go for certain games

worthy lintel
is there literally any software other than forcebindip that can force a program to run on a specific network connection?
forcebindip injects code so it's not gonna work for games with anticheat

lean river
probably better to dm if youre actually serious
Semi-serious because depending on the cost and time needed I might have to bail JUST because my supervisor didn't like it
So don't start anything yet, I want you to give it a thought first.
I am a self-learnt acoustician that was taught by my company.
For the past 3 years I've wrote and developed multiple proposals and my services are, what would people call "catered to each client", and I want to slowly let go of what I've done for these 3 years to someone else.
The biggest hurdle that I am facing right now is that, each of these proposals needs the subjective human consideration, of which sometimes cannot be crunched with numbers.
And even with the calculation tools we have, the time taken for each proposal is, for a lack of a better word, very long (takes 1 and a half weeks for each client), which, if we are stacked with enquiries, will push us back further.
What I need is; automated system of some sort, so that we can sift through client's enquiries in a much faster way, so that producing the proposal can be much accelerated.
What I am saying is that the goal of this automated system that we are going to develop, is that to take out most of the objective points that can be calculated by Google Sheets/softwares/calculators, and basically 'bot' them.
Most of the human processes that was carried out are still very much needs human intervention, but the inputs are normally;
-
What is the site's name, condition;
-
Dimensions (more detailed, better)
-
Use case/goal
-
An RT60 table that we gather from using an acoustic measurement tool
Anything additional after that is usually subjective design stuff that may still need human intervention, but I am very open to custom solutions that can be 'botted'.
Procrastinating through Gemini told me this is better with Python, but the visuals is still largely GSuite apps (since we're a 100% GSuite company)
I fed my proposal through Gemini Deep Research and it basically laid out an entire roadmap of what to do, which is great
worthy lintel
sounds like you want something akin to pre-screening before it hits a human desk or something
lean river
But the problem is that I can't do any of the backend stuff
I have both knowledge and time constraint
Time constraint but not in the way you think
Time constraint as in "I do not have the time of day to put my brain to learn how to bot"
lean river
sounds like you want something akin to pre-screening before it hits a human desk...
Pretty much
I have the Deep Research doc if you want to read further but again
This is purely still at research level, meaning I also trying to procure local talents
worthy lintel
give one of those vibecoding tools like replit or loveable a go and see how far you get
lean river
Just that you are the one outsider I know that can give...maybe second opinions?
worthy lintel
it sounds ike youre pretty much just asking for an llm to summarize given inputs around some set instructions/rules/context/domain info
lean river
Fair but it needs to be a tool/bot that my fellow employees can use onsite
worthy lintel
yeah you can eject to a git repo but i mean see how far you can get in terms of it working
if you can prove the concept works and gives results you're happy with via a cheap vibecode subscription then you arent wasting time hiring someone to get you an mvp
lean river
Meaning it has to be built; needs a UI (but looking pretty is way way down on the list), and speeds up proposal making
worthy lintel
replit/loveable etc speeds up the concept/mvp phase yeah
once you prove it works and the results are good, you can then move forward with something proper
last thing you want to do is spend time and money building something out that might not even work properly
worthy lintel
heh im kinda doing something similar at work with report generation

i have literally no domain knowledge with the audio stuff but calculations are just calculations, any language can do this, not just python

gemini is probably the best for math if you wanted to just pre-screen and get something close that isn't 100% perfect

You mean the in-Docs AI? seems quite unusable
or I have the wrong prompts
worthy lintel
no not in-docs, i know gemini is garbage there
like in claude i could drop some excel files in here and it'll use its document editing tools to read and update them, can gemini not do that yet?
