Web developer. Lead developer of PieFed
That I regret link isn’t working for me.
The Debian project is engaging in a debate and vote on whether large language model (LLM) tools may be used in the development of Debian, its distribution-specific code, and the project’s website. The general resolution is currently being discussed leading into a vote on the subject.
PieFed does all kinds of stuff but I talk about it in public.
e.g. https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/
Despite this I’m sure someone will arrive shortly to describe all the times I didn’t document or communicate clearly enough.
Hmm this version has 8 more people on it than the one I saw yesterday. Maybe it’s being actively maintained, despite the attention.
A search engine that makes videos across the whole PeerTube network actually findable
Peerseek is a federated video search engine for PeerTube. It continuously crawls public PeerTube instances, indexes their videos in PostgreSQL, and serves a fast JSON API and web UI at peerseek.video. At the time of writing it indexes roughly 940,000 videos from about 1,600 instances.
More info at https://polykit.rocks/peerseek-federated-peertube-search/ including a comparison with SepiaSearch.
It looks like there is an ‘enable toxic mode’ setting that DOES switch off the auto-updating blocklist. The LLM that wrote this post claimed that there is no way to turn it off.
from src/lib/policies/system.ts:
export async function updateSystemFilterPolicy() {
if (SBDisabled && get(userSettings).enableToxicMode) {
SYSTEM_POLICY.set(BLANK_SYSTEM_FILTER_POLICY)
return
}
// auto-update of blocklist continues below
The original post was written using AI so it’s going to have a lot of inaccuracies like that.
Overall though, having gone through the code myself, the LLM is in the right ballpark. The most friendly evaluation I can give is that this does seem poorly documented, too opaque and overly prescriptive. And needlessly encrypting the payload looks very shifty.

YSK PieFed automatically strips that out.
Edit: posts only, not in comments.
Only one notch above junk level.
If you’ve ever spent 10 minutes using an AI agent, you’d know that there’s no way to predict how many tokens it’s going to use before you give it a task. It can be $0.20 worth sometimes or $20 other times. Or anything, really.
It’s only after watching it churn away for a few minutes that you can assume it’s gotten stuck and have the option of pulling the plug before the bill gets run up too high. But you need to watch it like a hawk and you need to be the one paying the bill otherwise you’re not going to care (e.g. workers using AI at work aren’t paying for it, their company is).
Taken in aggregate across a month, that unpredictability might average out or it might explode.
Ahh yep, that’ll be it. Thanks.
