  • Our company rolled out a new and innovative internal LLM. It’s intended to help with coding tasks and find internal documentation.

    (Which really is just a wrapper over copilot).

    When looking for documentation, it fails harder than pasting the same text into the sesrch bar.

    I don’t find LLMs helpful for coding since they’re wrong so often. But after encouragement I decided to try my hand at using it to help me debug a small 12 line bash script.

    Whenever I posted examples it would fail silently. I assumed it wasnt sanitizing inputs so I tried a few other methods of wrapping the text. It would still faik silently.

    Eventually, a half hour later I decided to just Google it. After I resolved my own problem it messaged me, 45+ minutes later to say “an error occurred trying to handle your request”.

    These things suck so bad they can’t even error out effectively.







  • OpenCloud has made a conscious decision not to use relational databases and instead uses files to store metadata. This decision simplifies the system considerably and at the same time helps to improve scalability and system stability.

    Well color me convinced. The most frustrating part about updating Nextcloud is fixing the database schema.

    I don’t even want a database I just want a lightweight webui for manage my files from a browser.

    OpenCloud fits the bill much better.
