  • Not in disagreement, but based on how casually the frontpage throws around terms like "X25519 keypair", it is obvious that mass adoption and ease of use aren't among the goals of this project. Looks more like an exploration of a concept - can a social network viably exist without any middlemen in between.

  • I would fault nginx here instead. Tilde-suffixed backups is an old convention used by vim and emacs among others. Definitely older than nginx.

  • Cool tip - never knew this. I always figured piping to `tee` is a must in order to view-and-save command output at the same time. Turns out I can do "command >&1 >file.txt" instead!

  • The biggest roadblock to using agents to maximum effectiveness like this is the chat interface. It's convenience as detriment and convenience as distraction. I've found myself repeatedly giving into that convenience only to realize that I have wasted an hour and need to start over because the agent is just obliviously circling the solution that I thought was fully obvious from the context I gave it. Clearly these tools are exceptional at transforming inputs into outputs and, counterintuitively, not as exceptional when the inputs are constantly interleaved with the outputs like they are in chat mode.
