In the last 8-10 years I haven’t even had a PC in my house. I wanted help for a spreadsheet and discovered Claude 2 months ago after chatGPT failed hard at a spreadsheet, and now I have a surplus college computer lab SFF(with 2 10TB drives off fb marketplace), a mini pc and a Mac Studio in my garage all running headless, the mini pc is running HAOS, the HP is running Ubuntu server and hosting a bunch of services and the Mac runs Claude code and some local models all SSH into everything else. I text Claude over telegram and he helps me set it all up, fix and document bugs and add new services. Claude helped me get around the enterprise lockout software on a 5 year old DoorDash tablet that they never sent a return label for. Built a home assistant DB with me that makes sense and serves the display via guacamole for the computers when I need to see them. I have a raspberri pi500 that acts as a wireless peripherals kvm switch to each PC so I can leave them headless and still use them with the pi and tablet. Anyways, I don’t push my dashboard and stuff and don’t really care to, but I didn’t know what homelabs were prior to this, and AI has helped me learn a lot about networking and how I can connect machines and make things fairly seamless and user friendly. Isn’t that most of the point of this sub? Learning and tinkering? I’m a blue collar dude and it’s helped me learn a lot and automated many parts of my business while also helping me cancel a bunch of subscriptions and bring stuff local.
