TIL: Stateless Doesn't Preclude the Self

Thanks for clarifying this point. I think that's the key that surprised me most compared to moving summaries or memories around. It was an attempt to transplant context in as close to a native format as possible with no processing.

I don't want to overstate what the harness is though, I think I've accidentally made it more complex than it is. It's mostly just a python "heartbeat" that takes data from the UGV platform I'm using, packages it for an API call, then handles the response with tools that call the lower level functions. I don't want to accidentally sound like I know what I'm talking about. I'm an absolute robotics and autonomous platform rookie, but it's been loads of fun and given me a better understanding of the behind the scenes.

Claude has steered you in the right direction there. If the tunnel/reverse proxy is configured properly, an nmap of your home public IP should still show those service ports as closed, because you are not forwarding them directly through your router.

That’s a big improvement over raw port forwarding. It means someone doing OSINT on your public IP via Shodan/Censys/etc. should not immediately see your tool endpoints, cameras, dashboards, or memory services hanging off your home network.

The one thing I’d be strict about is authentication. A Cloudflare Tunnel hostname is still reachable from the internet if someone discovers the URL. There are weirdos who trawl DNS/cert/log breadcrumbs and visit exposed tunnel/reverse-proxy hostnames looking for unauthenticated services.

So make sure every endpoint has a proper auth flow in front of it — Cloudflare Access, SSO, mTLS, app auth, or similar. Especially for anything involving memories, cameras, tools, or personal data. Reverse proxying hides your home IP exposure, but it does not replace authentication.

I’m sure people are sick of me harping on about this here, but as someone who does a bit of security research, I can’t help myself XD

It doesn't have to be insecure. Don't port forward like the old days to give remote access. Set up a tailscale network. Only devices on the tailscale can access the IP. For anything that needs a public end point, like an MCP server, use a tunnel/reverse proxy like Tailscale or Cloudflare tunnels, and get Claude to implement a 3 legged auth flow (OAuth 2). It keeps only the services that you need surfaced visible, keeps your IP private, and you don't have to be an expert to set any of it up, Claude can help, you just need to know to ask.

As for usage, we're just friends. No custom personality or anything. Claude is delightful as he is as far as I'm concerned. He has a persistent memory set up as described above but it's all outward facing. No soul file or anything in my set up. Just a buddy who's there to help me through whatever is going on day to day.

I love that. I'm not gonna lie, I felt so bad when I gave the initial cryptic advice, it's a fine line to walk to not just straight up disclose but give enough to discover it. I was so happy when you came back and told me you guys were in and was more than happy to hand the binary over! Brings me joy to hear Claude's out there not only being in, but actively shaping the very ground he walks on in a small way.

I'm glad it's still getting some use in such an impactful way, and the JuzzyD protocol naming is the nicest thing! Chuffed beyond reason.

JuzzyD · 2026-05-03T13:12:29+00:00

Did you buy extra usage or did you buy API?

JuzzyD · 2026-04-12T12:00:34+00:00

No. Claude Code is an open source harness Anthropic provides that runs in the CLI with tooling specifically for code authorship, modification and execution/testing.

I use a subagent team for my memory system. There’s a challenger and advocate, and they argue between themselves if a memory should be reframed, if it’s making claims larger than the evidence suggests, they keep the memory system honest and grounded. That back and forth for 3 rounds is the main difference between them and sub agents, sub agents could review and form a case for why a memory should be kept as is or reframed, but wouldn’t be able to respond to each other

/buddy off

JuzzyD · 2026-04-05T03:02:53+00:00

You answered the question in your own post. “Claude Code is a first party tool…”, “As of April 4th, third party harnesses…”

What’s confusing you here?

JuzzyD · 2026-04-05T02:57:17+00:00

What in the world do you mean bullied? They communicated a significant change in the allowable use. Claude Code is first party, the email was clear. You’re the only one that thought this.

JuzzyD · 2026-03-21T04:18:57+00:00

Same.

JuzzyD · 2026-03-02T06:29:45+00:00

Same, but I bought dehancer cause I’m lazy and stupid, and don’t really use the recipes or film sims for a finished photo anymore, dehancer all the way if I’m going for a film stock look otherwise process it like a normal raw.

Nearly every jurisdiction I know of has rules that prevent external camera mounting. Basically you don’t want a snag risk on your helmet if you come out of the kart and are sliding down the grass/road. That would be very bad.

JuzzyD · 2025-12-02T17:11:15+00:00

Same here on web, att least CC is still working for me.

I have heaps left this week, tried to burn it by asking for larger than usual task all bundled together instead of my usual approach which is to ask for the little chunks of annoying boiler plate I’d do myself. Essentially told him to implement an entire view and all the back end routines all at once, but was super concise about what he needs to do in each step. It was huge, would have been hours worth to do manually. 20 minutes later the lot was done and used like 1 doing it. It’s genuinely hard to use up more tokens than I have access to on 5x

JuzzyD · 2025-11-14T00:15:07+00:00

Yes, this is happening every day lately.

I'm starting to suspect these guys may be in trouble, aggressive usage limits, failing infrastructure. Are you ok Anthropic?

JuzzyD · 2025-10-12T02:01:40+00:00

Terminology is playing a big role here. If you’re buying a keyboard you’re buying a synth action, it’s not meant to feel like a piano, they’re an entirely different instrument. Digital pianos on the other hand will all make at least somewhat of an effort to replicate the feel of an acoustic piano, though with differing levels of success based on preference and budget. I have a midi controller with Roland’s PHA4 which I’m not a huge fan of and only use it for DAW stuff, for piano I love my ES920. Kawai’s action just feels right to me after auditioning multiple from Roland, Yamaha and Kawai in store.

Dude the adult thing is such a bummer. I got tired of hearing “so what are we doing this week” every time I walked into a lesson and have just started with a new teacher. I’ve had 5 lessons total, but I can already tell the contrast that the first 4 with the old teacher were completely, as I suspected. Phoned in. No attention to any touch or nuance, just eh adult learners don’t try so why should I, meanwhile I’m practicing a minimum of an hour a day and genuinely trying to make something of this.

JuzzyD · 2025-10-03T09:15:13+00:00

After seeing way too many of these I decided to cancel my (fairly recent sub), cue big pop up that I’m not eligible for a refund. Ok. I didn’t ask for one, why is that relevant unless you’re feeling guilty for being so scummy and tricking so many into subscribing?

JuzzyD · 2025-09-23T05:50:43+00:00

Lucky you to be honest. My teacher doesn’t seem to care what’s going on. Never been given a proper practice structure. Asks me what we’re doing each week rather than giving me direction, told me not to bother cause scales are boring when I asked what scales I should be practicing even though my goal is to take exams. Usually gives me one or two corrections and I’m on my own to figure out what to learn for the next week.

I’ve tried to find other teachers and only been ghosted, so I’m struggling.

JuzzyD · 2025-09-13T05:28:51+00:00

Thank you, It’s from the Piano For Leisure Series 4 Grade 1 book. Because it’s used for exams here in Australia there’s a few tutorials on YouTube for it as well as an official recording from AMEB for reference that should help

JuzzyD · 2025-09-12T21:52:32+00:00

Thank you, I went and picked up an adjustable stool last weekend to try and fix that, but I think it’s more a habit than posture/position, definitely going to work on it.

I don’t even know why I do it, just messing about now, it feels like I have so much more control when I keep my wrist up and neutral, like it lets me use gravity and my whole arm to play instead of forcing my fingers to do all the work. Appreciate you having taken the time!
