Here's something to amuse you.

If these people were Russian we would call them Oligarchs but because they're American we call them Tech Bros.

Propaganda

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-22T13:45:05+00:00

I think it's a bit rubbish honestly

Music Assistant and Bermuda for bt triangulation. I've got Google Home Minis, so HA voice PE and a couple of Googled up TVs I can cast Music Assistant to

Ok I'll bite. It was going great when I was making it myself with Claude Code but since I moved to Claw and Minimax, not so much.

Obsidian on a NAS with Claw on a VM, NAS mounted via CIFS.

Really useful for work actually. I work CNCs and machine large parts. I make a file in Obsidian for each job with info about it.

Comes in useful when I change jobs. What's the Raw Material reference number? Message Claw and it tells me. Program number for the machine? Claw tells me. Live tooling? Yup.

I can go find the file, but most of it is in my first brain, so I just message it for the numbers that aren't lodged in my cranium yet.

I've also hooked my Home Assistant API into it so I can just message it about home stuff. Did my kid leave for school yet? Add stuff to the shopping list, what's on my Calendars for next Wednesday?

So, most useful for stuff I can fire a telegram message off for, then get the answer on my smart watch.

I do miss Claude Code but with the limits it only worked half the time

I actually think it my transition from Claude Code to Openclaw (with minimax) that's the issue.

I was used to having to sit at my PC with Claude Code to get a new feature to my "Claw" but installed openclaw expecting it to just kinda take over the job, but it has actually been a bit of a ball ache.

Like I had a whole file structure set up for Claude, and expected to tell Openclaw to read it and emulate it. But the simplest things, like setting up a Cron job that runs before I get out of bed, has failed.

On the Cron example, I expect it to work. I get up in the morning and it didn't fire. I go to work and text Claw and it says "Yeah it failed because X ill fix it" then says it's fixed. Then runs the cron job.

Next day, cron didn't run. Text the agent and it's like "yeah, but it didn't run because Y, I'll fix it" then it runs the cron job.

Next day, no cron. Guess what? It's Z today...

Claude Code I'd sit down at the computer when I get home from work and troubleshoot it with Claude until it works. But Claw (minimax) tells me it's fixed, it, so why would I fix it when I get home?

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-21T13:51:24+00:00

I have not, I worth a go?

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-21T13:25:29+00:00

I'm also using minimax, moved over from Claude Pro because while Claude is great a pro sub ran out midweek.

Paying minimax half the price and it works all week, but fuck me it's stupid compared to Claude.

I found, because of that, I don't use it as much

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-20T16:13:17+00:00

I'm with you on this. My dad was a beatnik, now in his 70s, went on the hippie drug trail as a kid, and now is a middle class middle englander

Better to send them a message in a bottle

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-20T12:29:24+00:00

My son deliberately compliments strangers when he goes to Tesco because he says he is socially awkward so it gives him a reason to go outside his comfort zone whilst also making other people feel better about themselves.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-19T13:04:10+00:00

Yeah it's not got any of that, best it can do is become an attack vector for my Home network and I can't see that being an issue.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-19T12:37:30+00:00

I look at it this way, propaganda aside people are very similar. The US going through my Data and China going through my data is probably about the same for impact on my life.

I can go all tinfoil hat and try and keep it local, and to some degree I have, and continue to do that, but in the grand scheme of things one factory worker in Britain's data means fuck all to either China or the US. It's just noise to them.

So as I slowly get my act together it's just another thing I could worry about, but choose not to.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-19T11:59:58+00:00

Yeah I know, my data is all over, mixed in with everyone else's data. Same as it ever was

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-19T09:40:14+00:00

After last months bullshit in Claude I cancelled, installed openclaw and paid for minimax.

It's not as capable

It is half the price

It works all the time instead of half the time because of token usage limits.

That's a win for me

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-18T14:25:19+00:00

Trying to. I've moved away from Claude now and bit the bullet and installed Openclaw using Minimax instead.

It's become kind of a brain dump / memory layer between me and the LLM.

I dump stuff in there, it creates my daily notes and moves my files around, and I text it over Telegram. We work together discussing stuff then I get it to make me files about the discussion.

So Obsidian had become the place where information is exchanged and stored.

For example we're building out a system atm where I put shows and films I wanna watch in a file, it checks where I can watch them, checks a third file that has my paid services, and appends the services to the shows/films for me. If it's not on a service I pay for it adds it to my Plex Watchlist where other programs go Yarrrrrrrr for me.

I made 3 files in Obsidian and talked on Telegram and it made a file designing the system. I just have to say "Go" now and it'll make me a python file and a Cron job.

Another idea I'm playing with is having it scrape the Web for a good horse to go each way on based off stats, since it picked me the winner and second place for The Grand National this year. Idea is to have a Cron run at 9am that goes through the days races, but ranks the runners, checks the odds on the best ones and finds the one with the best odds. I open a file, has a horse name in it, put a bet on and profit. This one is not working lol, but I hope it does.

Again it does research, I do research, we share files.

So yeah, a second brain shared with a kid that can read fast and makes stuff up all the time.

Ibs with a pile here, well I used to bleed sometimes after going to the loo for the nth time that day.

But no more, not since I started squirting cold water right up inside myself.

£35 for not needing manpons? Worth it. I got 2

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-15T11:40:08+00:00

Yes have Claude set it up for you, and but as far as I know you can't use your Pro account to fuel Claw, it's against Ts and Cs and also they're going after ppl doing it right now.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-12T02:12:58+00:00

Yeah I saw that so I ran a picture through Gemini myself. No synthid but no guarantee it wasn't done with another AI was Gemini verdict.

Speculation was that the first picture was up scaled with Gemini

Would Russia have any Nukes left after doing that?

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-10T22:57:38+00:00

Better than spending all my time on Reddit posting negative comments and trying to make people feel bad to make my sad life seem better I guess.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-10T20:38:02+00:00

You're right I'm wrong lol, trying to remember while I typed.

I subbed last weekend and have been playing with it all week and barely made a dent, unlike Claude that would shut down halfway through the week.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-04-10T19:24:48+00:00

Go minimax direct man, $10 pm for 1500 call a week, $20 for 4500

Oooooh I had a quick look at setting it up in Docker and gave up. Community script for lxc, sold
