Yeah that's a common issue I've seen with Gemini and ChatGPT as well. They can do simple tasks but as soon as it's something that requires more than a 5-6 steps, or if there are complications along the way they will get lost. Also ChatGPT will commonly just make up commands if it doesn't actually know how to do something.

    I will say that after I went back to my normal usage pattern of going as far as I could alone and then asking the chatbot what went wrong it did save me a ton of time by suggesting I check whether caddy was importing from conf.d, which it wasn't.

    I would have gotten there eventually, but not was it nice not having to hunt through snarky unhelpful forum comments on my own.

    I just did a long winded reply to your other comment before seeing this one. Seems like we landed in the same place! Hope the server is working well you

    It's been a good decade since I did any "serious" sysadmin tasks.

    I get to do it again because it appears we actually do want some features synapse supports that conduit doesn't, door knocking being a big one. I also get to write user facing documentation as well; the "techy" person I enlisted to help me test the core conduit services got very frustrated by the onboarding process even with my handholding.

    I sound annoyed but I genuinely love doing this kinda stuff. I'm stupid, and figuring out where I screwed up is fun. Plus I get to make an onboarding webpage to explain things, which is gonna be loads of fun
