Please add nano-gpt as a provider. For reference see: https://github.com/nanogpt-community/nanocode

then I could test on linux

I'm just speaking for me, as a senior software architect with a decade of experience:

  • Solving problems is the fun part.
  • Designing a good architecture is the fun part.
  • Making sure the project is high quality, clean and elegant is the fun part.

Typing all of that out (for momths and years mind you) is the boring part. For me typing is what comes after thinking. My brain goes into that adhd state where I have to pay enough attention to type the code, but not enough to be engaged. I'm getting so bored while typing code, I can't sit still for 30 seconds. Time gets slow. I get uncomfortable. I keep being distracted. I start thinking about something else and start making stupid mistakes.

I much rather explain my vision, architecture and solution in a detailed text (which helps me think about it in more detai) and then do hours of code review (guess I'm weird for liking that) and "thats wrong, redo it" until I'm happy then type all of that out myself.

There is a lot I hate about "AI", but sparing me from that rage-inducing manual slave labour is not one of those.

If I could hire a human to do the typing I'd do it. But an LLM subscription is so much cheaper than even the worst apprentice.

I asked that a long time ago somewhere

but when testing with creepjs.org it always detected my OS as linux, no matter what browser or extensions I use or which useragent I set. But when I tried tor browser with js enabled it detected windows.

Does anybody know how tor does that and if so, how can it be applied to firefox or librewolf or whatever (either config or patch) ?

The website looks AI generated to me as well. The style and especially the purple really give it that token AI look.

(Just pointing it out, not in a negative way, not implying anything)

ew why are you so toxic and arrogant?

I wanted to upvote you, cause I am not psrt of the anti-ai mob, but then I read you last sentence and the rest of this thread and holy fuck are you unlikable and unbearable.

OP asked:

How can you grant access to an account to write remotely, but also protect the data from this account?

So I was thinking that the account should not be able to delete the filesystem in an unrecoverable way. Like overriding the current fs with random data or an encrypted fs and filling it etc.

Like I said on a Hetzner storage box, multiple users get access to the same system, but each one only has file editing commands, not fs editing and they can only access their assigned directory. So if the system does scheduled snapshots (outside of that user's scope of access) there is no way for a user to delete the files beyond recoverability. (no matter if their own files or other users files).

The user can still delete their own data. But because the fs is cow with snapshots (like btrfs) and they can not touch that, the data can be recovered easily.

Are they? I thought they only write/modify/delete data to the fs, not change the fs itself.

I think you could do it somewhat like hetzner does for their storage boxes. You get an account that has read and write access to a directory and nothing outside. The accound can only run a limited set of commands, like ls, cat, nano, rsync etc. but has no access to commands that modify the filesystem.

Then you can use a copy on write fs like btrfs and make scheduled staggered snapshots.

I usually do 1x per year, 1x per month of current year, 4 per week of current montg, 7 per day in current week.

I have no clue what they use to limit the user accounts like that btw. but maybe that gives you a new jump off point for further research.

You've posted this AD to your SaaS offer multiple times in a couple of days now. Please stop the spam.

Rustdesk is what I use for tech support for my family. By default it uses the rustdesk official server for the handshake and holepunching or whatever, but you can also selfhost your own if you want to.

But I want to migrate to some kind of hardware web kvm like nanokvm, cause sometimes their pc doesn't boot and walking them through bios settings over a shaky videocall is a nightmare.

A lot of chinacrap on amazon had that for decades.

Saw it for all kinds of normal USB gadgets. Absolutely meaningless label.
