And it is tedious. These 'DVD' iso files are 7GB, so, after 6 hours frustration, I thought, let's try something smaller to cut the turnaround time. #Debian13 simple bare-bones net-install seemed a good candidate …
And it was. Seemless install. 😊
@ripienaar@devco.socialAbsolutely crazy demonstration of how AI can help with frontend design, my design abilities is stuck around like 2005 bootstrap era, I tried this approach on something and yeah - pretty amazing.
I can make a decent looking app and just focus on backend really.
It's a long video but worth it
