Vibe Coding Often Sucks

I've posted a few simple AI created scripts here in the past few months. Generally these are simple automation tools. Convert X format to Y format. Post some links to social media. Not every project is a winner though and I've found that in many cases, the more complex things get, or the more obscure, the quicker it falls apart. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm not asking for the right output int he correct way. I wanted to run through some of the failed experiments in "Vibe Coding" I've had. Mostly done using Claude, which is generally one of…

Fix a MYSQL Update Issue

I don't have a lot to say here, but it's worth saying, because all of the solutions I found online, did not work, but I found the issue, or at least my issue, and it was what I suspected. I kept getting issues with updates on my Linux PC, specifically related to MYSQL/Maria 8.0. Probably other versions as well. All of the solutions I found online were basically just, "apt-remove, apt-purge, apt-clean, reinstall". Which id not work. The full error is something like this. dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-8.0 (--configure): installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status…

Project – Raspberry Pi – Webcam Project and Updating Pihole

On my little list of projects, I mentioned a webcam set up. My wife asked me about something for monitoring the cats while we are out. The ideal place would be in the front room area. I have plenty of Pis floating around and an extra Logitech cam, but I also already have one Pi in that area running my PiHole. There isn't any reason I couldn't attach the cam, to that Pi. It ended up being a bit more work than expected, but not really for any negative reasons. I found an easy guide for setting up Motion on…

Game Hacking – Installing Homebrew on my 3DS

Man, talk about some monkey paw ass shit. I have finally after wanting to do it for, a good while now, installed Homebrew on my 3DS. The process is relatively simple, or more it SHOULD be relatively simple. I followed this guide here. I'm linking that page instead of the actual guide I used because the methods vary based on operating system, 3DS Model, Software version, etc. So for more clarity, I followed THIS guide, for my New 3DS with up to date software. The process should have been easy but I ran into a few issues. Specifically, after installing…

Water Bottle

I keep telling myself, one day I will have a more "healthy lifestyle". I've made some attempts to move this direction for a while, but It never really feels like it's getting anywhere. I go without soda, I try to eat less carbs, I walk more, I try to get myself to actually do workouts. One thing is drinking more water. Something that helped quite a lot with this was getting a decent water bottle, which kind of happened rather serendipitously. Occasionally, I get random, stuff, I guess, for lack of a better thing to call it from work. Sometimes…
