The AI hype has reached a boiling point, with companies like Google and Microsoft claiming that AI writes around 30% of their code. However, this statement is misleading. In reality, AI is not writing full-fledged code; it’s merely an assistant that requires human oversight and testing. While AI can generate partial code, it’s still up to human developers to review, refine, and test it thoroughly. Yes, AI-written tests also need to be processed and controlled by humans.
This post is about how to pass API keys to Docker containers securely. The method I describe here can be handy for people who use Docker for small, personal projects. These type of projects usually not using Docker Swarm, hence, they do not have a built-in way to manage secrets.
I am using Linux pass password manager to store my API keys directly on my server. Because I do not store .env file with API keys on my server, I use special script, which generates ephemeral (temporary) .env file every time I start, restart or bring down the Librechat containers.
I want to share few tips on how to use GenAI for the researching and learning efficiently:
Build agents to your tasks.
Agent is just an LLM with precise and detailed instructions containing: the role LLM takes, area of expertise, what to take into account, how to process information (what to emphasize, what to ignore), format of answers, structure, markup (if needed). Tip: Use standard LLM model helping you with making instructions for your agent.
Provide to your agent only tools it needs, nothing extra.
This is the fourth and final part of the series about building a private GenAI chat with Librechat.ai. Part 3 of the series is here.
In this post, I will show you how to install and run Librechat.ai on your Linux server using Docker and NGINX.
Let’s continue our journey of building a private GenAI chat with Librechat.ai. Part 2 of the series is here.
This post explains how to set up an API access to Google Search and YouTube. You will learn how to:
Create your Custom Search Engine and get its ID
This is the necessary step. This ID is used to identify your search engine when you make requests to the Google Search API. And you can also configure your search engine to your liking.
Create a new project in Google Cloud Console
Enable API access to Custom Search and YouTube Data API
This article is the first part of the series of articles about building your own private ChatGPT like web-chat with Librechat.ai.
If you don’t know what Librechat.ai is, here is a short demo of its capabilities:
The Librechat.ai instance from this video is running on my server and uses LLMs from Amazon Bedrock service. It also uses Google Search API and YouTube Data API to search for information and analyze content of the videos.
In this post I want to share with you my simple script which I use to select AWS SSO profile for a terminal session.
As a developer of IaC for AWS, I have to switch between different AWS accounts and roles. In most cases customers use AWS Access portal (used to be known as SSO portal) for authentication and authorization.
To quickly switch roles in the terminal I developed a simple script and aliases for shell to perform those operations quickly.
Hi all. I am staring to write a series of posts about AWS. This article is the first one in the series. The goal is not to provide a deep dive into the AWS services, but to share some interesting and useful tips about AWS, which I have learned on my projects.
Today I will outline an interesting peculiarity of AWS IAM role assumption. I think it is important to understand for building better permission and trust policies for your IAM roles.
I identified this interesting behavior while working on a project where I needed to restrict which roles can assume a particular role inside the same account.
I use Xmonad tiling window manager and MPV is my main player for music, videos, and Internet streams.
Tiling window managers are great for hotkeys lovers, and I am one of them. I have a lot of key bindings which allow me to launch applications, make screenshots, control window positions, use so called scratchpads (special workspaces for often used applications).
And some time ago I decided to build a set of scripts which would allow me to control MPV player from the keyboard. I wanted to be able to play/pause, stop, seek, open folers, files and internet radio, etc.
Another feature of my scripts is presentation of the current track information into the status bar.
I use Xmobar, but you can use any status bar you like.
