After much consideration and deliberation; I have decided to take my vibe coding talents to Codeberg. https://codeberg.org/dnlfdz

Codeberg is a non-profit community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home.

Why does every social network eventually get overrun by unscrupolous people trying to push fake narratives for services you don’t want or need? I’m going to go interact with honest bots on Moltbook.
I just hope one day I get the confidence of “tech influencers”. Maybe when I grow up.
As much as we talk about Mythos in the context of security I haven’t heard much reporting about the potential vulnerabilities in “smart contracts”. Crypto bros might have some bad days ahead.
Do I need a Dell Pro Max GB10? Absolutely not; do I want it? Heck yeah 😅

Okay, I’ll admit it I just needed an excuse to finally buy a Mac Mini (been wanting one for way too long).

The serious answer though: some workflows really do benefit from a device like this especially when you’re trying to avoid website rate limits or need to integrate with actual macOS apps. It’s not quite the same comparison as a Raspberry Pi for that reason.

Bonus: I’m running local inference for the tool directly on the Mac Mini using LM Studio. For compute per dollar, that’s honestly some of the best value out there.

Prompt injections are real and there is no real solution for them... yet. Forget about how irresponsible your Clawd/MoltBot usage is if you don't 1)use a password managers for unique passwords per account 2) don't enable 2FA on everything (whether authenticator code apps or passkey vs SMS based 2FA) you can consider yourself lucky that your accounts have not yet been compromised.

For the paranoid a hardware security key where applicable is even better. (I'm looking at you U.S Banks with dismal security that still don't support hardware keys for customers and rely on SMS).

Expecting people to "not use" technology because it's unsafe is a losing proposition for consumer or enterprise apps. It's our responsibility as people building in technology that products are secure. Passing the blame to the user is 1) not an excuse 2) a sure way to not succeed as a business.

P.S: The Clawd/MoltBot product has in-depth documentation and tooling to avoid security issues. I'm sure as an awesome open source project it will evolve overtime to be more secure by default. Even if it doesn't it's definitely bringing the right conversations around proper credential management practices that shouldn't exist in 2026.

I barely stepped away from “geeking out” for less than 48 hrs and apparently I’m supposed to be running Clawdbot and should have purchased a Mac Mini for it… Don’t tell my wife but I already did. Also I’m all up for being in tech to constantly learn but can we slow down a bit 🤣
Does anyone else try to completely maximize their Claude Opus weekly allowance before it resets? It’s like going to a fancy buffet and repeating the fanciest dish one last time right?
I have been using Perplexity Pro for about two months and I haven’t once since then used Google does anyone else feel like traditional search even Google’s AI assisted search is severely lagging behind?
