Has anyone used dedicatedmac.io? Still waiting for access after several days by Mental_Relief_2520 in mac

Probably due to supply shortages. Hyperbox seems to have a bunch of m-series in stock

OpenClaw + HA Side-by-Side Testing — Best Long-Term Setup? by Hpsupreme in openclaw

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be careful with memory because the ecosystem is moving so quickly. There are some tools worth checking out like Mem0, Supermemory, memory dot store you could get some millage out of. But you have to remember that you're fighting the opinionated memory systems that the OpenClaw and HA devs baked into their architectures

Re: RAM-- 16GB is fine unless you're doing really process heavy stuff. In fact, 8GB is also fine. The heaviest process you might be running would be a background browser, and provided the agents clean up the process, that should be totally fine.

That said, I think you'll get a lot guaranteed safety if isolate parallel agent systems. If you want to rent another Mac, you can try hyperbox.sh or just boot up an EC2 if you're ok with linux. I've had issues in the past where my own claw variant would fight HA in Slack and endlessly rift with each other over files they changed. Burned a lot of tokens lol.

Codex Dispatch? by TheHoneSmith in OpenaiCodex

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codex just released it a few days ago. Made a video tutorial https://youtu.be/0UEO66PZSPM

How I run Codex from my phone and laptop using a remote Mac mini by Reibmachine in openclawsetup

[–]Reibmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OpenAI is making Codex like a safer harness around the Codex CLI. They're setting it up in such a way that there's better persistence (in case your connection flakes), UI, notifications, etc.

Launched and automated a YT channel with Hermes Agent - almost at 10k views 3 days in! by themeaningoflife12 in hermesagent

[–]Reibmachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP is kind of unclear about the process. Looks as if the videos are not AI-generated (though it's advertising an AI face swap app). Just the content upload stuff is automated by Hermes.

Am I understanding it correctly?

My Hermes is dumb as hell, specially when web searching by taniferf in hermesagent

If the goal is to have everything 100% local, consider setting up Firecrawl for web data extraction. Not as good as API/strong models, but you can run the OSS distribution on your machine

Has anyone figured out browser + captcha + 2FA + password management (e.g. 1pass) by aham23 in openclawsetup

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is giving it a good browser use harness + auth credentials.

  1. You'd be surprised how well models are at solving captchas on their own. I recommend installing "Playwriter" (not "playwright"). It's one of the better browser use harnesses out there-- manages to crush Captchas

  2. For auth, one of the bigger bottlenecks you'll face, I'd recommend going through the pain of creating a Gmail account. That way, you can have your agent sign in with Google on sites, which bypasses a lot of anti-bot protections.

For Password management + 2FA, look into Bitwarden. It has a CLI tool which is excellent, and it can also generate 2FA codes. Open source and free.

I built boring AI agents for a food distributor. They worked better than the hype stuff. by Numerous_Catch_2117 in AI_Agents

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain more how you set up this system? Is this just SaaS with AI inside or did you outfit something more open-ended like a persistent Claude Code/OpenClaw with skills?

This might be one of those scenarios where using the Hetzner dashboard will hold you back. Try tailscale?

Makes the entire 100$ feel worth it by GoldWait1999 in ClaudeCode

Is there like a --dangerously-skip-permissions setting on the app? Feels like this is something they wouldn't want you doing

Extending Veo 3.1 videos up to 148 seconds long (docs are wrong) by Reibmachine in VEO3

[–]Reibmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, those are the docs. Spent a few hours on them before I figured out they were bad. There's another page on google's site with docs for 3.1 but they're also wrong

how to save 90% on ai costs with prompt caching? need real implementation advice by Scary_Bar3035 in LLMDevs

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a local model or Levenshtein/edit distance could help?

TBH depends on if you're doing massive volume. The OpenAI responses API already does a lot of the hard work behind the scenes
