You have a very good point.

Definitely, no one would force you to use something you don't find as trustworthy or valuable.

Will not argue, pro or against, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But this reminds me of the early 2000 interviews when every one was asking if you used Google search, and now we use "google it" as a verb.

There was a meme at one point with a dude at an interview answering that with something like this: If you google a recipe, it doesn't mean the food is done, you still need someone to cook it.

As for the "xx% LLM" or not, I would argue the same for "xx% Googled", "xx% Stackoverflow" "xx% Learned in school vs copied from the interned", "xx% actual development and engineering vs library importing and glueing".

As you can imagine, "story telling" isn't something everyone has mastered, so it does make the job easier. But I do get your point.

We don't want story telling. We just want a clear, few lines long paragraph that tells everything you need to know about the software

A bit of both, as you can imagine, there are so many tedious tasks that consume time for so little in return, so yeah.

So you're trying to get buy-in for a tool, when you yourself don't see the point in confirming it works? Those "tedious tasks" are software development.

> I have a homelab with 12 PI's, this tool helps me play with files between all of them

did you have your LLM write the Show HN description too?

because you've gone from "We started CallFS" and "our small team" to "I play with it in my homelab"

if this is a homelab-level project, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. but you should be careful not to mislead people, even unintentionally, about the stability/maturity of the project.

especially when the project involves data storage. vibe-coding a game is one thing, if it has bugs then you might miss a power-up or get stuck on a level with no way out. when a vibe-coded storage system has bugs, you're potentially losing or silently corrupting user data.

You're asking me if I use it, I'm telling you where and how I use it. Then you complain how I use it.

Listen, I can totally respect anyones opinion, but this discussion isn't bringing any benefits, it doesn't seem to be constructive at all.

I get it, you're dissatisfied with this project or whatever, and usually I do try to be very accommodating, as you can see I do engage, but at the same time, please understand, this, is an open-source MIT licensed project, it's not the next "save the earth project" and still, you're acting like you're the VC and already lost money on the investment. Like I have to prove some worth or something.

To answer your question, yeah, there were two of us working at this, for a while, then one lost interest, I thought it would still be fair to say "our small team".

As for the losing data or any other such things, great idea, I will add that there is always a possibility of losing data, just like with NTFS, with AppleFS, or any other FS no matter who developed it or supports it. But it is a good point.

As far as this comment thread goes, I will personally refrain from future comments, as I believe it doesn't serve any good purpose other than nit picking.

Thank you.

Very fair points, thank you very much for taking the time. I will make the changes later today to mention the dependencies.

As for the "speaks the S3 API", the idea is that this has two backends right now, Local File System and any S3 compatible API, like AWS S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Object Storage ... and so on. In other words you can use them all at the same time, provided you have an instance for each.

But you did give me an idea, as to the fact that I need to add some directory/bucket discovery for existing files.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

SO COOL. This is way more than what my scope was, maybe I can learn some stuff.

I do have some future plans on replication and mutex and specific files from specific instances.

Thanks for sharing this.

Well, glad to be of service and I really hope it gives you what you need. If not, just open an issue and we will see what we can do. :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
