It seems like Claude is getting worse. It's definitely not worse than the free options, like DeepSeek, though. I'm generally happy with Codex these days, but subscribe to both OpenAI and Claude.
Or FrankenPHP, or hell, there's still even good old Apache. Or avoid the SAPI interface entirely with servers in PHP like Workerman, AMPHP, or Swoole. FPM is entirely too fussy for me to bother with: its error handling is atrocious (restarting in an infinite loop with no backoff is common), and no one really knows how to tune it.
Those are great solutions for production deployment, but to the previous commenter's point, for iterating on your local machine during development work, nothing beats just running `php -S`.
Launch the interpreter's built-in dev server in your project directory, load up localhost in your browser, work on your code, and testing incremental changes locally is just a matter of hitting F5.
I have multiple teenagers. The desire to bully is the same as it ever was. There are still terrible parents who raise terrible kids. It's just that there are new tools to do it with.
I tend to find a relatively reliable model of something and stick with it.
I've noticed, without exception, across clothing, backpacks, and appliances that the next iteration is more cheaply made:
- Thinner fabrics
- Less stitching
- And on appliances and other tools, more plastic parts where they used to be metal.
My latest <LredactedG> washer has a newly plastic mounting bracket that appears designed to fail within a decade due to vibration. Even the metal backing is thinner that the previous generation.
All the options suck or are crazy expensive or both, but I have a mix of Reolink, Annke (Hikvision rebrand), and Eufy RTSP-capable cameras. I have a PC with Blue Iris NVR on it. The cameras have SD cards as backups.
Nothing goes out to the cloud. The cameras are blocked from the Internet. I have an alert set up and I've never seen the Reolink or Annke units try and reach out.
If you have a lot of money to blow, buy a complete Ubiquiti setup. It is fairly set and forget. I got burned by Ubiquiti with a previous NVR setup and premature obsoletion so I refuse to use their cameras anymore.
MTR is a must have tool for any time you need tracert. I personally have used WinMTR for many years. An invaluable tool when you have connectivity issues to diagnose.
The angle computers were removed from the H models in the early to mid 1990s and I doubt they added them back.
