| ▲ | yifanl 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | It isn't, but the history of profitable software has been repackaging the same data in different UIs. | |
| ▲ | saadn92 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | well, I'm assuming you mean for this part I had said: > had help from LLMs enough to find different options that are either free or cheaper. as one example, I would have to do multiple google searches to build a secure network around a replacement tool I built for 1password, but the LLM was able to walk me through everything (even though I'd never had dedicated training around security). google searches are great for 1-off questions, but have the LLM walk you through something or have it do it for you. btw, I'm using claude code in all this | | |
| ▲ | techjamie 2 days ago | parent [-] | | > I would have to do multiple google searches to build a secure network around a replacement tool I built for 1password I hope that isn't implying you're hosting a vibecoded password manager. Because that would be a horrible idea. If you selfhost a password manager, it's much better to use something that is reputable and tested against like Vaultwarden. Even if you have it say, in a Tailnet that only your machines can get into, that just means someone has to compromise one of your machines. | | |

| ▲ | sashank_1509 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Bitwarden is free and in my experience does a better job than 1 password. Tho he could have vibecoded his own 1-password, I would be a bit careful doing that though | | |
| ▲ | saadn92 2 days ago | parent [-] | | yeah I agree, bitwarden is really good, but since I'm the only one who uses it I didn't need all the features of it and just vibecoded my own, though I made sure it was secure (I'm a software engineer so knew what to secure). definitely wouldn't recommend anyone do that though if they don't know what they're doing |

Or doesn't access it from multiple devices. I just synchronize my password database on a slow cadence or as needed. [0] https://keepass.info/ | |

| ▲ | sashank_1509 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | How’d you replace YouTube Music? Do you mean you listen to adds but on your own vibe coded app or do you bypass the ads somehow? Curious | | |
| ▲ | saadn92 2 days ago | parent [-] | | yeah it's not the best replacement, but basically what I did is setup a "YTBox" app that takes a youtube link, downloads it as mp3 or mp4, and then auto syncs it to my icloud drive, and then I just listen from my iPhone either using the music app or VLC/Files. so yes I do have to make a curated list of what I want, but it saves me $17/mo. if you're okay with downloading, then it's worth it. | | |
| ▲ | bigstrat2003 2 days ago | parent [-] | | You don't need to vibe code to set up a piracy setup. LLMs aren't really adding any new capabilities there. | | |
| ▲ | saadn92 2 days ago | parent [-] | | They do help you move faster in my experience | | |
| ▲ | osiejfiejf 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Ah the wonders of the placebo effect. | | |
| ▲ | saadn92 a day ago | parent [-] | | placebo effect? It took me 30 minutes to setup instead of a day, that's not a placebo effect, my friend |
