  Do I need this? No.
  Do I want this? Yes.
  This is very tempting...

  @qps What kind of pricing would upgrades cost? Like a second SSD?

  Now I've moved on to having codex/gpt 5.5 check claude's work :P

  I use this strategy quite a bit. I let Codex build, then use my API tokens from Cursor to have Claude check it over. I don't have Claude actually implement the fix. I feed it's input back into Codex to see if it agrees or not.

  Doing literally the opposite, but otherwise yeah, lol. Having claude write the fixes that gpt finds, because i have the pricier subscription on the claude side

  Edit: I enjoyed this one: "Round 7 — the currency saga's third act (GPT keeps being right: EUR at 1:1 offline is the same corruption), plus my round-26 "explicit as values win" choice coming home to roost."

  @AlteredParadox I am working on the rust port of the project and I have a barebones project.

  I am not happy with the fact that my-idlers uses mysql. Sqlite is somewhat better for these use-cases in my opinion.

  

  it has been running for a lot of hours at this point in my opinion. I might still work on the port but in my opinion, a clean start might actually be better as well actually. What do you think?

  Oh, it can definitely use sqlite, I'm not sure its terribly well documented... but I run my build with it:

    - DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
    - DB_DATABASE=/app/database/database.sqlite

  Oh okay good to know, but perhaps I am just having a feeling that a greenfield project is much easier to create than trying to port it. Usually, I get some good visual validation when I try to port things and indication things are working correctly, but which don't seem to be the case here as well. Let me know when/if you try to port it yourself, I'd be curious to read what you would have to write :-D

  Way too funny that apparently all of us have my-idlers forks by now

  I did it before it was hip

  In case it's any use for you guys (aka claude or codex):
  https://github.com/herobrauni/my-idlers

  Running this for at least half a year
