Will you upgrade a second SSD to 960GB for free as well?

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?

So uhhh... claude went for 38 code review rounds on my-idlers. Literally just finished. lmao.

I guess I'll be deleting my fork and starting over with your latest. Cheers!

I just upgraded the whole thing to laravel 13 too

Each additional 960GB SSD is $25 per month, up to a max of 4.

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
