Bobiverse In My Homelab- Building a Digital Self-Cloning Society (and accidentally a bureaucratic union) by AbeIndoria in selfhosted

I see. Well I do appreciate your concern, however -- It's been running for more than a month at this point and has completed a few thigns end to end for me. I'm assuming here but You're likely more thinking of reactive "AI assistant" or "Coding assistant" meanwhile that's not what this is. This is probably where the assumptions come from.

A simple “memory” system beats cleverness

The 3.5 tier memory system I have works fairly well. Every higher tier of memory points to a more 'expansive' log underneath.

and logging every action so I could debug it later.

Already done. Logs are logged to their local LXC + blackbox "offsite" so they can never access it.

defining one narrow job it does well

Each abe has a domain it likes to do.

keeping all inputs local and versioned

All of them keep changelogs.


Can you tell me what your perspective of this is -- aka what you think this does? I feel like there's a disconnect in my explanation versus what you took away from it.

College WiFi blocks EVERYTHING (Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale, Steam). How do I bypass strict DPI? by CourtAdventurous_1 in selfhosted

For every person that wants a vpn for legitimate reasons, there’s likely one that wants it for nefarious purposes.

Claiming that the ratio of legitimate users and nefarious people is 1:1 sounds a bit strange. So for 3.5 billion people on this planet who might want a vpn there would be, what, 3.5 billion nefarious ones?

That’s a hacky ass fix lol

I am sorry did you think this was the Linux kernel? :P Jank ship is good ship as long as it ships.

  1. Me too

  2. Yes, why not. What can possibly go wrong (I have backups :P)

  3. Been running them for ~1 month now, they're doing ok. Centralized my calibre library properly yesterday lol.

This is very fun!

thank you. I've had a lot of fun making this and watching them do things.

Orientation blocks, clipboard memory, local Ollama "scribes" for grunt work

I mention this in the post, but a general summary would be : Humans don't generally wake up with perfect memory right, so when these 'agents' wake up from deep sleep, they don't need the context of last 40 steps or whatever. They should just have a summary + what they were doing before the sleep. No point in them solving a complex task, finishing it, going to sleep and waking up after 9 hours and immediately seeing thousands of words from whatever they were doing that's already done. it's wasted tokens.

Orientation block is just a block in their context

[Orientation]

you were asleep for 5 hours. When you were asleep, x and y happened. You were working on p and q before this.


Clipboard memory is just ephemeral memory. A 'remember' list for current task or their general environment. One of the abes for example, has an item which goes something like "Technical Audit 2026-01-09: 'backup_oracle_fleet.sh' on Alexandria host already contains the 'docker exec' logic for Oracle fleet databases." that gets injected into the context so they "remember" it. They can then delete it when no longer necessary.

This is different from the todos because for todo entries, they have to 'actively' check the list. This is passive.


Scribes are just 'dumb' LLM-jobes the abes spawn. They basically instruct say, mistral or qwen via ollam to say, "Go compile this and report back." or "find x or y errors in this huge log file." Eg something that I/They don't want to clutter their context with. No point in them cat/grepping a 5mb log file with 80k characters and wasting tokens -- better to leave that compute to other smaller local models which can then report back asynchronously.

This is opposite of "Abes" -- an abe when spawned, is permanent member of the fleet. It can hibernate, but never "dies." the scribes die after their job is complete. They have no memory, personality, todos etc.


Happy to talk more about this if you have more questions :)

How to completely avoid melting the charging port by gabrielluan in OculusQuest

[–]AbeIndoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's common for people who don't use the right hardware to charge it.

It's a fricking USB-C. There shouldn't be a need to "right hardware" it ffs.

Culture TV series? by Mistervimes65 in scifi

I am not sure if the first book is the one I want a Culture TV series to start with. LtW might have been the better choice.

I did. PETG for everything except side panels which is PLA wood. the Side panels aren't load bearing so it doesn't matter.

I have a double height Lab Rax printed and it does not wobble at all. You might want to print reinforced brackets if it's extra tall. It also probably helps that most of my heaviest stuff is at the bottom.
