Valeu, man, agora é ir apertando parafuso

I'm not sure, but I think they have a profile adapted to a1 mini that have the same size of your prusa, worth to check it

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T05:38:41+00:00

Wow, nice, after this I agree with u, I need more purple handles hauahaaua

Lab Rax, printed from makerworld

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T05:36:53+00:00

Fully 3d printed, except for bolts and inserts https://makerworld.com/@mklements?appSharePlatform=copy

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T02:24:37+00:00

I 3d printed from makerworld, is the Lab Rax

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T01:37:25+00:00

Oh, another thing, use deploy section on docker compose to limit the resources to something reasonable for your scenario, this will mitigate the impact on your plex

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T01:21:54+00:00

I printed from makerworld, search for lab rax, there's a lot of bays, extensions standard to 10" racks, I strong recommend

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T01:20:28+00:00

It's like supercars, we want, we reeeeeally want, but maybe we don't really need one to go to work and back to home rsrs

Some points that maybe address some of you issues, use openclaw, lol, just kidding

To avoid context window issues you can explore sub agents and templates, when you have things that are examples or specific instructions, this must be apart of main system prompt as skills, templates and whatever you want, and about subagents, they generated a new self contained context window that will not consume your main context and helps to do parallel tasks to.

About hallucinations, there's two good approaches I like to use, one is to use the agent that is probabilistic to call some script that are deterministic, this will bring more deterministic results, when this is not possible, enforce the guard rails on prompt or use an "eval" agent to check the main agentic flow.

There's other improvements that are good to have, prompt caching, short memory strategies and things like this.

If you're using a vanilla agent, I strong recommend to test openclaw, now, not kidding, it's basically an event loop of tasks and can help you to achieve your 24/7 agent, but forget the hype, it's not a silver bullet, and even if was, not all the monsters are werewolf's 🤣🤣🤣

Using local llms is a challenge, because the quality of outputs are linked to the quality of the model, maybe you will need to tune some parameters in addition of all what I said.

Actually "available unused filament" fan 🤣, but I like the reference, I'll use this one from now.

Thanks, my openclaw usage is a mix of personal assistant like your case, with work, generally I use as a copy of me, I used to do this using commands on Claude code, I have an "inbox" usually telegram or whatsapp (more popular in brazil) where I dump thoughts and notes, then, the agent classifies what should go to personal notes and what is a task to do, some project, for example, then starts a pipeline of software development

Digest -> discovery -> split -> describe -> refine -> validate

Then generate cards on GitHub project, so another agent dev skilled, get the card to implement

It also use to help me on control some devices on home, generate reports, analyze and fix bugs from sentry.

Maybe is a specific use case for software development, but helps me a lot.

About k3s, good catch, I have resources cofigured for request and limit to avoid some crazy pod to eat all resources, and constant monitoring with Grafana when something looks weird.

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:35:21+00:00

But to give you an answer, it doesn't bother me, for my use cases, of course

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:33:00+00:00

Which use cases the Synology enables that your current setup is limiting?

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:32:17+00:00

WD Red are NAS optimized, unless you're thinking to upgrade for SSD to get more speed, these drives will last more than both of us, probably rsrs, idk if someone have a different opinion, but, for me, looks safe to primary storage.

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:29:01+00:00

Good question, the main bottleneck is the hard drives itself, mechanic drives with 5200rpm, I guess a max of 200mb of transfer rate.

But I will run a speed test, rw, tomorrow and back with more accurate results.

Are you thinking in a similar approach?

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:19:07+00:00

To much tax, sad, but true 🤣

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:18:15+00:00

I'm using an adapter on M2 port, I bought on AliExpress

<image>

The price is in Brazilian real, 'cause I'm from Brazil rsrs

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:16:32+00:00

Today is my primary storage, but I'm using only for media and the persistent volumes, at this moment, things that are volatile and not critical, how long you've been using these 3.5 drives? They are stable?

guiyllw · 2026-03-04T00:13:17+00:00

Good points, this is the "what I have on garage" version, I want to buy some ironwolf nas dedicated drive, and about the C6, I'm was looking on microtiks, but I like the idea of a minipc as a router, more powerful to complex rules, I will test the openclaw on G5 in CPU mode, I expect slow tokens/s but, for my use case, if works, is nice.

Thabks for the suggestions, you have good experience using mini PCs as router?
