Oh my GOD Claude has become so freaking restrictive on its usage. Feeling like I’m paying for a demo of a product these days.

The plan is to tuck the mount it behind the TV on the wall. Brackets will hold it on the wall but make it fairly easy to remove if I ever need too.
Although it’s going to be running Ubuntu, so I can connect to it with another computer pretty easily.

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?”
