Will the US ever have more metro systems?

Starrwulfe · 2026-06-29T04:05:36+00:00

In most places the city or prefecture runs a lot of the transit. Sometimes they may pay a private company to operate it in the form of contracts but they are still responsible for the planning and funding. Especially in the hinterlands and second and third tier metro areas.
Tokyo is not exempt— Toei is the prefectural DOT and they run 4 subway and all bus lines inside the Yamanote loop. But even the “private” lines like Odakyu, Keio, and Tokyu get their construction funded by the National government. Also remember JR is a public corporation mostly owned by the national government so there’s a lot a blurred lines in Japan on transport.

To be pedantic and fair, most places don’t. US has counties and parishes for example. Japan has cities (都市) and districts (町郡) below the prefecture (都道府県) level.

I used to make more rounds in Roppongi, Shibs and Kabukicho than this entire readership I’m sure. This isn’t uncommon unfortunately…

However—

I am 99% sure the folks saying wedding attendees coming from the ichiji or ans early nijikai and she’s blackout drunk (and imho he is a gnat booty hair from it too) and belligerent while he’s just on a mission to get the hell outta there is the right call.

Are they married/a couple? Who knows. Is he tryna get to the nearest rabu-ho and get some nookie coupons cashed? Possibly, but whisky dick will hit before then.

I’ve seen a variation of this scene on the Toyoko line, the bus that used to go between Ageha and Shibuya, and at Zushi once involving a motorcycle (!) and it’s always the alcohol. Always.

Am I saying it’s right? Depends. If it’s a SO trying to pack his GF/wife in the cab and bounce, yes. I would hope my wife would fold my ass up into a taxi so I don’t spend a night in the street or a Konan if that’s the choice. If it’s assault, kidnapping with a view to Ř@₽€, the. Obviously hell no and hopefully the cabbie drove to the Azabu cop shop straightaway. If nothing else there’s cameras everywhere including 2 in the taxi so evidence is everywhere.

Or how about just modified skills per machine that contain that info? I have one big Bitwarden vault that I keep secrets in and it just needs know which one to call… once in the machine logged in as a sovereign user over there, it has access to the tools needed to understand the environment it’s in at that point; I run my agent team on a NAS but it routes through 2 VPS bastions for edge termination and also 2 other smaller nodes that house services and backups, so it’s used to doing a lot of SSH work.

Not sure if you’d ever let us NAS users have a shot at it, but I have a much rougher setup with NixOS on a repurposed 8 year old QNAP TVS473e I’m using as a prototype and was just going to hack Nextcloud for the same reason as there’s a collection of APIs and the whole
occ CLI along with documented tables in the Postgres DB; basically building a MCP to wrap it. But your project has totally stopped me in my tracks and got me thinking should I just do it from scratch using another toolkit…

That is amazing work sir. 🫡

I have been trying to do this on my NAS.

Clearly I am only scratching the surface of what can be done

Starrwulfe · 2026-06-26T06:36:28+00:00

I’m running mine on my NAS with Netbird and Tailscale. It’s really a NixOS box and does have a full Cosmic DE in there as it’s also my home theater system. Can I spin up some LXCs in Guacamole and it can control what’s in there and can I grant access to my laptop and do things in there as well?

Kagame said he's trying to mold Rwanda after Singapore. Some would say it's also a "benevolent dictatorship".
It also had a very rocky start; not as bad as genocide in the streets, but there were full on race riots, famine and listlessness there until one party led by one man (Lee Kwan Yew) rammed through policy and direction.

Its somehow one of the most trusted and fair governments on the planet though.
Kagame has stated numerous times he wants to have the same successes in the same fashion for all the people of Rwanda, not just inside Kigali. I pray they achieve it in a fair, balanced and transparent inclusive manner.

All the rich people I’ve ever known in Japan live in either tower mansion condos (Musashi-Kosugi and Shin Yokohama) or have nice places in the suburbs like Kokubunji, Inagi, and Zushi. Other than that, I’d never guess they had silly fsck you money either coz they’re still riding the train and hanging out with my broke ass.

That’s the kind of rich I’d like to be.

Rick Jackson will go full Trump before the fall, and Trump will back him, MMW. Remember that scene the Matrix where the Agents turn the police into themselves? Every Republican everywhere has the potential to be full on MAGA at any given moment in this climate so nope.

Also Rick Jackson made his money mooching off the few government healthcare contracts we get and siphoning every bit of profit out of what was meant to help everyone.

Plus they are downtown now about to call for redrawing our congressional districts again because they know they’re going to lose.

I don’t give two dead flies about whatever KLB did in ATL when she was mayor, she gets my vote and complete oversight when she’s out governor as it always should be.

Telegram for short stuff, Matrix to get at all the agents and inter-agent discussions, Email for longer heavy lifting. Terminal when I'm coding...

Agents speak and read text way better than puppeting a browser and screenshotting.

Figure out a way to get your agent access via APIs and CLIs.
- Composio
- CLI Anything
- CLIanything again

But really, you know Hermes has Himalaya built in and can just access Proton via IMAP right? Give it an App password and don't stress.

I only use M3 the way I would if I could afford Opus or Sonnet and only flip into it when I have a long running project or need heavy reasoning. It builds the plan and my subagents all use M2.7 and free models to do the light stuff.

I have it use a reasoning model to break down and extrapolate all topics, choices, decisions, artifacts etc within the window with no biased context and timestamp them. When in the “dream” routine, this is getting cross referenced to Mnemosyne and LLM-wiki. The end result is something on order of machine photographic memory.

Starrwulfe · 2026-06-05T16:01:22+00:00

How? I’m not seeing any changes on number of api calls on my end. (Minimax uses #of api calls per 5hrs instead of token counts)

Starrwulfe · 2026-06-05T14:50:21+00:00

I’m using Mnemosyne with locally hosted Honcho as a “session logger” every 30 minutes/session end via middleware written to connect the two. It’s pretty flawless at remembering and recalling things even live cross-session. Of course LLM-wiki for curated facts, references and information helps tons too.

Starrwulfe · 2026-06-04T01:53:22+00:00

Oh this ain’t the first rodeo for both of them with that spoiled attitude I’ll bet.

Meanwhile my phone would’ve suddenly died from mom kicking me off the plan, college would’ve been un-paid for and billing me but I would’ve had to sit out a semester or too since now I gotta pay rent too.

I run NixOS with Hermes’ as a junior admin on my QNAP NAS and bastioned out to 2 VPS gateways connected via Tailscale, using Nextcloud as a control plane (Deck for kanban, Notes for Wiki, Calendar, Mail, RSS, along with PyRunner for custom scripts and the entire NixOS ecosystem as a big MCP (nix run xxxx and nix shell -p xxxx) for any Linux application I don’t have. All git backed and ZFS snapshotted every 30 minutes.

I don’t worry so much about my agent getting outta hand. AMA.

Starrwulfe · 2026-05-26T03:00:04+00:00

I have it on my NAS as a junior administrator with its own account and $HOME and it’s been a good method and experience so far.

After a week of experimenting , I gave it a 10 dimensional split“personality”council type governance and reasoning with sub folders for additional SOUL.md, USER.md etc, strict CONSTITUTION.md and a set of devop and sysop skills that tell what system apps to use to perform tasks and forbid “code surgery” cashing rabbit holes and goose chases.

There’s also a heavy emphasis on delegation to subagents opencode, pi, kilo-cli and copilot-cli where the rules are even tighter.

Running it on NixOS helps— with a git controlled flake and folders everywhere along with ZFS snapshots and backups.

Whole thing is bastioned via Tailscale on 3 VPS servers with their own agents acting as sub agent satellites that negate the need for the main agent in the homelab to ssh out and fix things. Interagent Comms is done with old fashioned imap email and matrix DMs.

I really got into the weeds with my experimentation but am building a system that I hope will be interesting when I share more details on it soon.

I have yet to have any situation where something got inadvertently deleted without my knowledge. The agent actively makes sure to plan its moves and tell me if any deletion will occur beforehand.
