I think it would be great to have a archive so that the various documentation, comments and hacks / workarounds could be searched.

The reason I ask is because they block VPN traffic, restrict some content behind a login wall and I have blacklisted them from my DNS so I plan on never returning.

But I find myself lacking odd tips from the Sway community and other communities.

      Even if that’s so, I have had many occasions where I thought that for something simple, ChatGPT could do the job. I ended up having a back and forth for hours (last case of that being yesterday) until I got it fixed. For most cases (but not yesterday’s) I found it much faster by looking it up online.

        How is it worse than taking advise off of the Internet? At the end of the day you need to be aware of what you are doing.

        Mistral has helped me with a variety of tasks such as finding tools and choosing ZFS geometry

          Quite right!

          You need to take it all (AI or internet searches) with a huge pinch of salt. Even ye olde text books were not infallible and often out of date, so sodium chloride was also required even then.

          The code either works or it doesn’t - it’s all in the testing. If you deploy AI suggestions without thought you deserve the consequences.

            I think the reliability of the response also depends on the prompt. Certain prompts decrease the reliability issues.
