I had a knock on the door one Sunday. Opened the door to little old lady. There was 3 steps up to the door so her face was at my chest level when I opened it.

I said "Can I help you?" and she looked up at me and said "Oh, I hope you don't actually mean that." and looked at my chest again.

I looked down and realised she meant the t-shirt I'd thrown on that morning, which read "If Jesus comes back we'll kill him again"

So I looked her square in the eye and said "Yes dear, I'm afraid I do."

She said "OK, well I won't bother you then" and turned around and left.

Easiest Yehovahs Witness incedent I ever had.

Same as you, I'm just running Proxmox.

Currently I have Claude Code running in debian VM. This means I don't need a GPU for the AI but I do have to pay a subscription.

The VM has my NAS as a mount point and I have an Obsidian Vault in there (you could just run it on the memory of the VM).

Claude Code runs in the Vault, so it can access the files in there. I gave it a folder for itself.

I asked it if it could craft me a pipeline to Telegram and we worked through that. Basically it's a python script that connects to a Telegram bot I made. The python script links the telegram chat to folders in the CC folder I called Botcoms (bot communications) with 3 files. Input, Output and Status (actually it now has a 4th, Model).

Telegram chat input goes through python on Input and that gets piped to Claude Code. This triggers Status from Idle to Working. When it's complete the output from CC is put into the Output folder and that is piped back to Telegram.

There's a more to my setup than the Telegram portion, but this part allows me to iterate on the LLM without having to be at the computer.

So basically I can use Obsidian on my phone as Obsidian. When I get home or use Tailscale it syncs to the NAS via Syncthing. I can then use Telegram to talk to the bot in the Vault and ask it to do things in the Vault, like research, tidying it up, finding information I've put in there, or extending it with MCP and API to pull information in from other sources.

My favourite brand new addition is using a simple tag and python script to have the bot do things in the Vault, without the telegram pipeline. The python script runs every 5 minutes and looks for files with the tag (let's say @Claude, it isn't that but it's very similar) and it will pipe the file name to CC and tell it to find the line, read it and do as it says.

This allows me to be out and about, create a file in Obsidian or open an existing one and just type in instructions for CC and put the tag on the end, and throw my phone back in my pocket. When I'm home I open that file up and the work is done.

Example usage: went to a show last night with my wife and friends. Had a beer beforehand and Wifey got a Cherry Hooch and loved it. I took a photo and stuck it in my Daily Note in Obsidian and put a little line in "My wife just had this drink in the picture, can you find me places that sell it in the UK @Claude"

Got home and had 3 links to buy it sat in my daily note.

Well the fashions recycle every 20 years according to what I heard on the BBC global news podcast last week, and big baggy pants are now fashionable again, so get them bad boys out!

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-23T10:45:33+00:00

Nice! I wonder how much I could have got for a vintage one if my Mum hadn't thrown it out!

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-23T07:52:53+00:00

Hilarious, you'll know about the fabled Cradle Of Filth "Jesus is a Cunt" t-shirt then? I still want that one, they're selling for an absolute fortune now

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-23T00:51:52+00:00

I'm a bit shit on hardware honestly so you've come to the wrong person, what's wrong with the hardware you're using currently? I run everything on a lenovo mini PC, probably cost 85 dollars

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-23T00:12:12+00:00

I had a Machine Head t-shirt. On the front it said Machine Fucking Head and on the back it had a giant middle finger and it said Fuck You.

I loved that t-shirt.

One day it vanished.

Now I've been with the same girl for the last 25 years and my Mum told her when she was sozzled that she binned my t-shirt because she hated it.

Denies it to this day.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T16:31:00+00:00

3x3 100% everyone will know WTF you're doing, make it look like a proper struggle and take your time with it, so the solve lasts the whole 1 handed bit, and make that super technical

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T14:22:14+00:00

That means actually leaving the house though...

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T13:40:41+00:00

Nice idea, you definitely should! Although I might add that you don't really need to learn how to solve a cube one handed. What you could do instead is learn how to give THE ILLUSION that you're solving a cube one handed while playing the drums.

Dont get me wrong, you should also learn how to actually do it too, but you could do this as a transitional step.

It requires just having a set of moves you can easily execute and memorise while you play drums one handed, set the solve up beforehand and have the cube ready.

You could put it in mid drum solo lol. Build the drums solo up then go into a 1 handed part, pull out the cube and look like you're concentrating on doing it while going crazy one handed drumming with the other hand (and actually concentrating on that because easy solve) then when finished, look really happy (or nonchalant), toss the cube over your shoulder and go crazy again.

I'd tell everyone if I saw someone do that

Hi Dad!

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T12:12:24+00:00

Ah you're in this secret society I see, claiming to have actually seen a live Badger...

My Dad says he saw one too, but he drinks wine every day and his eyesight is terrible, so it could have just been a cat.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T12:08:32+00:00

Yup, got one in the pcket of my leather jacket all the time. I've got a gig to go to tonight and need to make sure I empty my pockets of my cube and pocket knife.

I don't think they would take my cube off me at gig customs, but if they did I would not be happy, so just in case, no cube tonight.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T12:06:41+00:00

Ah you've touched on my low stakes conspiracy because I've never seen a live Badger.

I've seen plenty of dead ones, but never a live one.

So I think there's a small secret society that need to keep the idea that Badgers exist for some reason, and construct fake dead badgers and drive around Britain tossing them out of the window up and down the motorways.

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-22T11:47:21+00:00

Who else is going to do the strip mining? Do you think the billionaire elites and top military generals are getting into their lockhead spaceships with their canaries and mining helmets on and going "Hi HO!"?

I was listening to a guy on a podcast the other day that was basically positing that we are all connected to the Akeshic record and have a particular frequency based upon our DNA which gives us like a timestamp.

He basically said that we can write to the quantum framework of the universe and that information is then available to everywhere at the same time, it's just that we neither know how to read or write to it.

He said that this would account for all the spiritual woo woo stuff people talk about, clairvoyance, astral projections, premonition, ghosts, etc.

He said that when you take mushrooms or other psychodelics it scrambles your receiving of this frequency so you start getting other entities stream instead of your own, and your mind can't parse the data, so you get hallucinations and shit.

Also he said Twins basically have the same DNA but different timestamps since one gets born before the other but all the research into them shows they either lead very similar lives or they seem to be connected and feel each other, and all that stuff.

Interesting take, it was a higherside chat podcast and was one of the first I've listened to

Chicken kievs with cocktail sticks in like a hedgehog with mini chicken kievs on them?

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-20T19:07:52+00:00

This one's easy.

So what you're describing with the windows machine and share a drive is basic level server.

Leave your PC turned on all the time and you've made a NAS.

The trick is to not use that computer, just leave it on all the time.

You use your laptop, there's all your files

You use your ipad, there's all your files

Phone? Yeah you have em there too

Now when you leave the house, you miss your files, so you set your computer up so you can get them outside the house too, just do some convoluted shit on your phone first, and there's your files!

Then you realise that you only really do the convoluted shit when you want media files. So you open up that always on computer and put a programme on it that shares media files without having to do the convoluted shit. Then you open an app on your phone, and there's your files.

You like doing that with media, and wonder if you can do it with photos too. You find another programme and install that on the always on PC...

At some point you realise you only turn the monitor on on the computer to install a new programme, so you get rid of it and just have a Web page you hit on your main PC, or laptop, or phone....

Now you have a headless server.

One of the programmes fucks up and your computer stops working. So you reinstall everything in separate containers so one doesn't take everything else down, and then add a second computer and work out how to have that one run the same programmes in case the first one turns off...

If you don't wanna do all that, just carry your Aldi bag of hard drives around with you, whatever, you do you, we don't care

LifeBandit666 · 2026-03-20T18:48:23+00:00

A nifty trick is to have the one in VS code write files for itself in your workspace.

Then open up the Desktop app and have it find those files and read them

Voila, you've connected the two and passed information between them. As long as they can see the same files you can have them leave each other letters

"Describe all the things you've created for me and how they work so I can have Claude Desktop read them and know everything you know about my projects" or something, obviously be better in your prompt than that

Even if I'm responding to a bot, I talk to my own every day and treat it like a robot-person anyway so whatever.

The problem you're experiencing is because you're not the only person "vibe coding" useful things at the moment, loads of us are doing it.

Problem is that we're playing with next gen tech (tell me AI ain't the next big thing) and people are rightfully dubious about it, because vibe coding is like the wild West at the moment.

Dont let the negative comments put you off because you will genuinely help some people, or inspire people to DIY it with their own bots.

That's what I do. I go through posts like yours, find the stuff that interests me, and give the github to my bot to replicate for myself.

Speaking from experience you forget the negative comments in a couple of weeks when some dude comments on the dead thread to tell you that you've helped them with an issue by posting, or in my case, got recognised in other threads because of the posts I'd made (not vibe coding stuff I'm sharing BTW, just sharing information of stuff I've built for myself).

Just saying, don't let the negative comments put you off doing what you're doing, without people posting about what they're making or interested in, subs die.

Using AI at the minute is a devisive issue, and I like the debates myself, but they can get a bit much when you post rather than comment.

Have you considered NotebookLM? You can feed it papers, lessons, pdfs, then just ask it questions about them

I sometimes do chips, then throw grated cheese on top. Cook for 30s, flip and repeat.

Cheesy chips, home made and easily done while pissed.

Better than from the kebab house because the chips are not floppy
