DrSarez··on Crush: Glamourous AI coding agent for your favourite terminal
Crush (compared to OpenCode): - Pro: Sexy UI with separate diff window and good information context - Con: No SSO with Antropic. You need to generate an API key - Con: No login with Github Copilot - Con: Rly bad planning capabilities as agend. Acts awskwardly, executes single commands instead of batch commands. - Con: Thus it is really slow. - Con: Uses much more tokens for operations than OpenCode

Currently I would definately go with sst/opencode. Seems like crush is much more a beta.

The best cat tracker in the world:

```

DrSarez··on Min: A fast, minimal browser that protects your privacy
"a fast, minimal browser [...] written entirely with CSS and JavaScript using Electron" - That sounds like an oxymoron to me.
DrSarez··on Write Gitlab CI Pipelines in Python Code
That is interesting. In fact I've googled for it and found a blog post with really nastay Java code defining a pipeline. Of course, in code you can do nasty things and create insane pipelines. Thus I think it is good having both - the declarative base and a generator on top. The declarative base ensures having an easy way to get into pipeline mechanics. However if you plan to write really complex pipelines, the pipeline-as-code approach jumbs in. At this point your'e firm with the basics and know what your'e doing in code.

Amazon is doing the same with the Cloud Development Kit (CDK). With CDK you can code your infrastructure in a number of languages (java, csharp, .net, python, typescript), which was synthesized into cloud formation to be finally deployed. For smaller projects and teams not firm with one of those languages, plain CFN may be much better. However after learning CDK you won't create any infrastructure without it.

DrSarez··on Hetzner Cloud
Cool - renting two CX31 instances plus a BX40 storage box seems to me a good solution running a private OpenShift cluster for under 50€ a month. Id need to figure it out!
