Recently, I added #ProxSnap to #PegaProx which allows you to quickly find snapshots of your VMs and Containers. You can also filter them by date to quickly identify older or even outdated ones and clean them up at a central point!

PegaProx with ProxSnap integration for Proxmox VE Clusters

Checked all little utilities, which I'm using in my daily computing, are they still good old programs or slopware?

I prefer to use little programs, which were created to please the needs of it's creator. And/or some folks which has the same needs. The process of such little program creation usually, if author in sane state of mind, doesn't mimick process of commercial software creation, where developers need to rush to "deliver features" to please management and investors. For now this leds to forcing developers to use LLMs on the workplace — all to "deliver features" faster. So one developer for the same price (salary) able to make more features. Profit!

So, when I see how opensource programmer uses LLM to create some opensource program — it is a red flag for me and I'll try to avoid using such program. Because it means to me that programmer doesn't like the process of creation. Like an artist who don't like to draw or photographer, who don't like to make photos. Also, (s)he possibly has a "corporate mindset" (deliver value and features faster, no fun allowed). So, looks like his/her creature is not a pet, but a cattle. When I prefer to use "pet"-programs — usually they are nicer, simpler and doesn't bring me a lot of problems.

Results are pretty good — only three programs are slopware now. These three programs, installed from repositories of my OS, have versions, when these programs were coded by humans.

Here they are:

1) rsync — version 3.4.1 is good, but the next versions will be slopware, since programming happens with Claude LLM.

2) ImageMagick7 — installed good version 7.1.2-15. But since 7.1.2-16 it become a slopware. LLM the same — Claude, was used in one commit.

3) python3 — installed version 3.11.15. Since 3.13.6, according to commits and release dates, it become a slopware too — there are some commits, where the same Claude LLM was used.
