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…

Star Trek Khan Podcast (Episode 1-3)

Star Trek has put out an audio drama podcast recently, and since I listen to a lot of Podcasts, it seemed like an easy thing to just add it to my line up. Just a note, for this, I've been jotting down some thoughts as each episode releases, so some earlier speculation may end up being wrong, and it may be right, and potentially a spoiler, except it was just that, speculation. Just a quick bit of background on Khan in the Star Trek universe. Khan appeared in the Original Series episode "Space Seed". The Enterprise crew finds a derelict…

I think I have mentioned it before but I am.slowly sorting all the thousands of bookmarks I ha e in Firefox into a sort of Digital Garden link library of Markdown files. I did have a dentist appointment. I don't know why people hate the dentist, I find it pretty relaxing honestly. Gaming Infinity Nikki I went back to Infinity Nikki. It's become a bit of an on and off again game, though…

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…

Or, adventures in vehicle maintenance part 2, or something. Also yes, it's been 2 weeks I mentioned previously, that I had push mowed the yard because the mower was acting up. I went ahead and changed the oil and oil filter this week. It's not super hard to do, but it did involve a ton of waiting. Primarily because it drains sooooo slowly. The funnel and container wedged in there nicely, and I moved it so it was "leaning downhill" but it still took like 45 minutes to drain. One side note, just for anyone seeing this, the juice bottle…
