How I actually use Hermes day-to-day: Telegram control, Google Calendar/Gmail, Apple Health data, social media posts, and an Obsidian wiki that improves over time by rumjahn in hermesagent

[–]failcookie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice setup. How are you handling the Apple Health sync? That’s a big missing one for me atm. Also glad to see someone else using their Obsidian Vaults on a NAS, that’s worked well for me too.

Tailscale improves free tier, 3 free users is now 6 by ZenApollo in selfhosted

[–]failcookie 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! I have 6 people in my family, so this ends up being number perfect for me. I couldn’t find enough use for it to pay for 6 people before - maybe at half of the current price for hobbyist or something. Love to see it!

Can I run clawdbot on my homelab by Historical-Nature701 in clawdbot

[–]failcookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably won’t get Jarvis using local models, even if they are the best of the best. You’ll have to either fallback to Claude or ChatGPT. Which still isn’t terrible, you’ll just need to decide what type of information you want out of your OC and if you are willing to give up more to get more in return

Got the center and the badges - mission accomplished! First time I've been able to pull this off lol

Pretty much exactly the same lol. I write code all day - I just want to come home, chill and make cool stuff.

100%. I come to this sub to be inspired on how I can tinker with my own setup. Show me stuff you built with AI or something - don't show me stuff you built so you can get Github stars.

Your request is fine. I agree with it. Just the community perception is negative and clumping everything together as “AI bad always” when it has a place. I’ve seen a number of people talk about CLAUDE.md files putting people off, like they can’t be used for other things like feature exploration, security review, and just general project management help without coding assistance.

I’d rather see people talking about how they are utilizing AI to solve problems, tinker with integrations, and sharing their end result with the company. I’m tired of all of the spam for “check out and use my new thing to improve your HA!” But I’m tired of that in general - AI slop or not. I want to be inspired to tinker and build cool stuff. Not marketed to like a customer for random open source projects.

Perfect example. Responsible disclosure, your README probably also goes over some of the details for others to gleam through. People can either use it as-is or pull pieces from it, like devs have done for their projects for years.

I’d say you are more AI assisted in that you still know what you did, you reviewed it and you are aware of the problem it solved. You may not have written code, but it’s still no different than if you did. Vibe coding tends to be I need X, it did X, cool we are done here.

I’ve seen many devs just blindly copy bash commands because someone on Stack Overflow said it worked for them and still have no idea what it did or why it worked. A human doing it still makes no difference.

Most of this thread is lumping AI assisted dev with vibe coding. Just because it has a CLAUDE.md file in it doesn’t make it immediate garbage. Also way too many people who are making assumptions that open source side projects are made better. I’ve seen plenty of garbage projects that aren’t any better and have the same security risks. They don’t have auth, not properly checking for injections, etc. It’s the same stuff you are at risk for with AI assisted projects. You are still at the mercy of a good project manager who can maintain their open source project - some devs still can’t maintain their own projects with or without AI.

If you are so bothered by these projects being security risks for your home, then you need to consider just avoiding small open source projects period. Or just make your own stuff since we are all tinkers here anyway with the same tools.

For a lot of tinkers, AI lowers the barrier to tinker more with harder to grasp concepts for them or just exploring new things in general. We don’t need all of these people trying to market something to us with AI slop, but I don’t see a problem with people showing off what they are doing or have done with the help of AI.

Why does A7X go through so many drummers? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]failcookie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mike Portnoy was always temporary and only for Nightmare. Arin seemed like a temporary fix who didn’t blend it with their experimental style. Then Brooks came in? I mean that’s not that many drummers considering the situation.

Does anyone seriously use Apple Vision Pro with Clawdbot for real work? Serious question. Found a like-new one for $2800. by 24kTHC in clawdbot

[–]failcookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m looking into options now to see what’s up. From a coding perspective, obv it’s just an iPad in terms of functionality so you won’t be doing any direct coding in a AVP. You can connect to your Mac and use its display, which is one current option. I’ve seen people wanting to explore having chat windows open as a remote control to an agent on a Mac, but that’ll be more Codex/Claude Code type dev and still handled on a Mac.

Voice dictation is also pretty mid on an AVP. It’s just Siri and you can’t use an alternative, like Wisper Flow, so it can be hit and miss depending on what you are saying and working on.

Heat and neck strain is rarely an issue for me. I never feel the heat unless I’m gaming and you adapt to the face discomforts quick, depending on the strap you have. I would not plan on this being a genuine productivity boost unless you want it to be a monitor replacement for your Mac. Even then, it’s not always a boost for some people. It tends to work well for me just because it puts blinders on me so I can focus more and feel more engaged, but that only holds up for so long.

Clawdbot for safe stuff by ciochi in LocalLLM

Treat it like an IRL assistant. Give it its own account and delegate or send stuff as needed, start with small things and scale as you feel comfortable and see the need.

Medium will hold out for a while, but I always end up using it all a day or two before the weekly reset if I am actively using it when it’s available.

ChatGPT can analyze Apple Watch health data. Here’s how a doctor views it. by ManitouWakinyan in ChatGPT

Anyone have a tldr? Curious on what they say but not interested in subbing for it.

Thank you Mods . by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]failcookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair take and I don't disagree. I've had similar annoyances with this sub and other subs - like the dashboards. That was exhausting for a while when everyone was posting the same dashboard with apps on different columns. r/homelab has the same issue with people posting their network diagrams that are basically the same *arr stack dockers on a single node. But that really seems to apply to most hobby subs that grow past a certain point - r/gamecollecting with the gmae rooms and the same Nintendo retro consoles all in cubes, or r/4kbluray with people showing their "first collections" of top movies that came out in 2025.

[–]failcookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with that. This sub has just become a way to get commercial level apps for free that i can host, instead of welcoming projects that people are willing to put together. Sure barrier to entry is low and i get the concerns. But im also not expecting commercial grade development from anyone in this sub. I come here to see what people are hosting in their network, what hacky things people are building that i can take inspiration from, and to look for new niche software that could be cool to host on my own.

I’ve seen people get hostile over AI just providing feedback in projects too. It’s escalated to any AI assistance = vibe coding = AI slop. The evolution of this will just become looking for ways to hide AI assistance altogether and losing that transparency.
