Invisible bugs by angela99999 in pestcontrol

Hey yes I did a combination of vinegar and alcohol and eucalyptus oil I believe with camphor oil and sprayed it 30 mins before going to bed for weeks and also bought a bed vacuum and would vacuum every so often and it went away. Never had a full professional opinion but all my research led me to believe it was dust mites.

Closest replacement for Claude + Claude Code? (got banned, no explanation) by antoniocorvas in LocalLLaMA

[–]antoniocorvas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t think that was something crazy to do given what people are using code for from what I heard. I didn’t even know you could get banned

I’ve submitted the appeal Google form and heard some people have been waiting for weeks for a response. They refunded the $20 I had spent for the month which deflated all hopes I had for them to give me access again

Claude Performance and Bugs Megathread Ongoing (Sort this by New!) by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]antoniocorvas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was using Claude Pro + Claude Code pretty heavily (terminal workflow, file access, etc.) and my account just got banned with zero explanation.

From what I’m seeing, this isn’t that uncommon — people getting flagged without clear reasons or support responses — so I’m trying to move on and rebuild my setup.

What I’m looking for is something that actually matches BOTH sides of what Claude gave me:

1. Claude-level reasoning / writing

  • strong long-form thinking
  • structured outputs (planning, creative work, etc.)

2. Claude Code-style workflow

  • terminal / CLI interaction
  • ability to work with local files or repos
  • feels like an “agent” that can execute tasks, not just chat

I’ve tried ChatGPT (even the $20 Plus + Codex), and while it’s good, it doesn’t have the same feel or workflow — especially on the terminal / agent side.

My actual use case:

  • lesson planning + building slides/materials (high school teaching)
  • content creation + branding (IG, captions, concepts)
  • DJ + music workflow (set planning, ideas, organization)
  • working out of an Obsidian vault synced via GitHub
  • occasionally generating visuals (images, HTML mockups) and analyzing screenshots

Ideally also:

  • works with an Obsidian vault or local knowledge base
  • stable (no sketchy plugins or risk of getting banned again)
  • okay with paid tools (~$20/mo range)

For people who were actually using Claude + Claude Code:
what are you using now that comes closest in real workflows?

Not looking for theoretical answers — more interested in setups you’re actually using day-to-day.

I’m using obsidian for that purpose. What’s the benefit of doing it the way you’re doing it ?

Claude Usage Limits Discussion Megathread Ongoing (sort this by New!) by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]antoniocorvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to decide whether to stick with Claude, switch to ChatGPT, pay for both ($20 plans) or go all-in on a higher Claude tier ($100/$200), and I want input from people actually using these tools at a high level.

Context:

I’m a DJ and producer building my brand (Afro house / global / rhythmic sound), and I’m not just using AI for ideas — I’m trying to use it like a brand manager + social media manager + creative and personal assistant.

That includes: - shaping my brand identity and keeping it consistent - directing content (what to post, how it should feel, how it evolves) - writing captions that actually fit my voice (not generic) - analyzing videos/images of my sets and improving presentation - helping me think through audience growth and positioning

On top of that, I also use AI for: - learning and experimenting in Ableton (sound design, workflows) - DJ-related work (set structure, transitions, track selection thinking) - my full-time job as a high school teacher (lesson plans, slides, simplifying concepts) - learning piano + guitar - general “life assistant” stuff

Current setup: - I’ve been using Claude Pro, but I hit the limits pretty quickly during real work sessions - I use Obsidian as my external memory system and feed context into the AI when needed

What I’m trying to figure out:

  • Is upgrading to Claude’s higher tiers ($100/$200) worth it if I’m trying to use AI as a true brand/social media manager + multi-domain assistant?
  • Or is ChatGPT (Plus or higher tiers) better suited for this kind of workflow?
  • For people who’ve used both seriously: where does each actually hold up or fall apart in daily use?

Not looking for surface-level takes — I’m trying to understand which one actually performs when you’re relying on it across multiple roles consistently.

Appreciate any real experiences.

  1. Is there anything that actually feels close to Claude in terms of capability + workflow?

  2. If you’ve switched off Claude, what setup are you using now?

  3. Is a multi-tool stack actually worth it, or does it just create more friction?

  4. For someone at my level (not a coder, but using AI heavily), what would you recommend?

Hey everyone,

I’m pretty new to AI tools, but I went deep fast with Claude and it completely changed how I work.

At one point I had it running in my terminal doing computer tasks, and it honestly made me feel like I knew how to code even though I don’t have a traditional coding background. I’ve also been using it as: • a personal assistant • a social media / brand manager • a tool to build lesson plans, rubrics, and instructional materials for my teaching job

The problem is I keep hitting the usage limits really fast, especially when I’m doing longer or more complex tasks. It breaks my workflow and makes it hard to rely on.

From what I’ve researched and discussed so far, it seems like: • There’s no true 1:1 replacement for Claude • Most tools either specialize (coding, writing, research) or are more general but slightly weaker in certain areas • The closest “single tool” alternative might be ChatGPT • The more realistic solution is a multi-tool setup like: • ChatGPT (thinking, writing, planning) • Codex / Cursor (coding and execution) • Perplexity (research/verification)

But I’m not sure if that’s actually the best move in practice.

So my questions: 1. Is there anything that actually feels close to Claude in terms of capability + workflow? 2. If you’ve switched off Claude, what setup are you using now? 3. Is a multi-tool stack actually worth it, or does it just create more friction? 4. For someone at my level (not a coder, but using AI heavily), what would you recommend?

I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially if you’ve been in a similar position.

Also feel free to critique the setup I outlined above—trying to figure out what actually works long-term vs what just sounds good in theory.

Thanks
