Experimenting with setting up a local docker container with Chroma and LMStudio today. I have this vision of using a really good AI bot without API limits and also keeping my information local. I get twitchy when I think about uploading my entire knowledge-base on someone else’s server.

So I set up a script that runs once a day on my home server. It grabs all content that hasn’t been saved from my personal site, and saves a markdown version of it with images, and everything. Not just for backups, but also so I can start using some local LLM stuff with my blog and my personal notes. Kinda neat to see all of my content ever published automatically get put into Obsidian.

I’m conceptualizing a self-hosted service that pulls data from handpicked RSS sources (video, audio, text), parses that content with a local LLM prompt, and then turns it into an audio file summary that captures the high points to serve as a sort of home-made news brief. Could prove to be very useful!

I can’t get enough of how GOOD this green looks on this dark blue.
Seriously, I just bought swag with hoodies in black with the Siren logo and now I’m wondering if I should have went with navy blue.

Found some time to chip away at this a bit. Added lots and lots of holes, as well as 2 Z brackets that will allow it to mount vertically on the wall.
The plan is to install this behind my TV so it isn’t visible, but still easily accessible.

Kate says “So what would it take to rely less on Amazon’s photo services and our streaming services?”
Me: “I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK”

I’ve been methodically chipping away at building the rest of Siren’s rebranded site. Added first drafts of a few key pages today. Really excited to see it all finally coming together!

Claude’s incessant need to enumerate is my new “Delve”
“From content engagement to product recommendations to long-term customer value, you can recognize and reward partners for all the ways they help grow your business.”
So bad

Progress on the media center case. It’s coming along nicely, but…some assembly will definitely be required 🙈
