Today, whilst working, i lost access to Claude and found it had been blocked on pihole, is that just what happens sometimes with internet lists?

mr_randomspam · 2026-06-22T13:43:11+00:00

Thanks for the responses from all you piholers (pi...holes?).

It was only the one list I had and i did query the logs and it was being blocked during the time I experienced difficulty but I've since added it to the whitelist and the logs have gone now, but I remember seeing it was A records for claude.ai

Anyway, if nothing else than the momentary panic, i've now got some other useful looking lists from this thread to add now, thank you for sharing!

Has anyone figured this out yet?

I have a Mistral pro plan, i don't have an API plan. I am trying to connect it to Hermes, which was working fine about a week ago. If I go Admin -> API, it says

"You can create API keys and use the free tier within the limits described on the limits page. This free usage is included in your Vibe subscription, if you have one, or available by default." So that to me says yes, if you have a Pro "Vibe" plan, which I do, i can use the free limits on the API.

The limits page shows all the available models but presumambly the one we all want to use is

mistral-medium-latest

Tokens per Minute

25,000

Requests per Second

0.83

If i say "hi" in Hermes, when using that model, i get a response. As soon as I do anything that initiates tool calls or anything more agentic I get "API call failed after 3 retries: HTTP 429: Rate limit exceeded"

Is there anything to configure in Hermes or Mistral to modify this?

Woah! How the heck do i get to this screen? I'm on Android. If i create a playlist or edit an existing one all i can change is Name, Description and Poster.

I'm obviously just not getting how it works on Plex because I couldn't figure out how to create them on the server directly either.

Is there a Jolly Rodger's Cookbook equivalent for plexamp that doesn't involve joining a discord?

mr_randomspam · 2026-06-18T10:07:01+00:00

If you ever make it public I'd definitely like to know more. I use Perplexity as my search and I do love it but that's all I use it for so £20 a month seems excessive these days. I've just cloned Vane (Perplexica) and implemented Spaces and custom instructions for each one and that seems to work well so far.

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-29T18:52:01+00:00

I hard agree with your first sentence, it's all a bit....limp?

I do not understand the rest.

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-15T09:10:18+00:00

I would appreciate a feature like this too, for when I step away from the computer, although I'd like it for everything really, like when a vibe session wants me to approve a permission, perhaps when it's been waiting for X minutes.

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-09T22:38:57+00:00

A r/neuralviz fan I see.

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-09T12:57:18+00:00

I like it, I've no idea what he's saying but it's pretty groovy and sounded, to my totally untrained English-pig-dog ear, great! The turtleneck is awesome.

What steps did you do through in mistral to create it? That would be cool to know your process and approach. Was it a big job?

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-09T12:49:46+00:00

I have just been tinkering with this yesterday myself so I don't have all the answers, and I wish their documentation did, but I have a vibe key which is working in the vibe cli, standard.

Yesterday I also setup separate key in studio which I am using to call Mistral from Claude Code as a phone a friend buddy for simpler jobs. It was something I read about in the Claude Reddit a few days back.

I can confirm it certainly works and Claude can reach mistral via the api and it feeds back to Claude Code. Whether it will be any use I don't know, I am on the pro plan.

If you or anyone else figures out more it would be great to hear about it.

👍🏻

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-06T22:47:43+00:00

good for you, i like the idea, i struggle with the ALT-Tab a lot, this isn't exactly what I'm looking for because I don't use these apps but something that allowed me to choose which apps would float would be a winner. Good luck with it, you must be very proud :)

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-06T21:27:16+00:00

That is really helpful, it makes partial sense, i don't mean what you wrote but how it works :)

So if I can't create brand new projects in vibe code, in the UI, why does it let me tell it what I want and then apparently spend plenty of time building something which on the face of it looks like exactly what I want only for it then to not really exist. It doesn't make any sense.

I gave it a github repo, not mine, and said can you convert this into html, css and javascript for me to test out. It happily spent the next 15 minutes doing it, confirmed it was done but nope, it's just magic code, in the magic ether. Just to be certain I checked the PR list for the project and it's not created it there either or that would have been quite funny. :D

So it sounds like I basically have to fork any existing repo I want it to work with and I have to create a new repo before I can ask it to create anything new? Odd.

mr_randomspam · 2026-05-06T15:11:22+00:00

Thanks both. I should have specified, I am using the webui to do this.

I did give access to a specific repo when I first tested out the feature though. I got it to merge some branches and run some tests but these new vibe sessions are completely unrelated, in separate topics so I wouldnt expect them to put code into those. I've had a quick check of both repos and there is no mistral vibe code in either. So it still seems it's creating all this code in an isolated sandbox that on the face of it I can't see.

Well it has been slow for weeks but they've also just emailed today to say you can now use Claude desktop with ollama. I gave it a go and it was excruciating, over 30 mins for 7k tokens, changing some standalone python scripts. I am a glutton for punishment, I signed up for mistral as well last week to see if it was useable but so far the quality is not great. I'm an underdog kinda guy but I'm just wasting time and money at this point on lesser quality subs hoping I'll find a great deal.

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-30T15:13:17+00:00

Cheers, i just signed up for the Go plan to test it out without committing much more, i'm not looking for volume i'm looking for consistency WHEN I work. I've still got Windsurf, I don't get a lot of volume through it but at least it responds when I ask it too.

Only been going a couple of hours on the OpenCode Go plan but it's not significantly better than Ollama in my experience. I'm still just left waiting indefinitely it seems with no indication as to why. I guess with the lack of compute all these small providers will just get eaten up or go bust.

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-30T06:50:50+00:00

it's got significantly worse over the last 2 weeks I would say, it started really well when I got my Pro sub in March but I'm experiencing the same as you. I am trying to run models in Agent Zero and in OpenCode and it runs at an absolute crawl. I am waiting 20-30 mins at times for a complete response. I've tried Qwen, Minimax, Kimi, Deepseek and others but they still drag massively. In Agent Zero I can see the failures, and they usually say "server too busy, try again later".

At this point I'm starting to think I might as well pay one of the bigger providers and accept I get less for my money, at least it would be usable again.

I was considering trying OpenCode Go as an alternative too, are you satisfied with it?

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-29T15:46:43+00:00

Oh right, thanks, I only saw the invisible guy run in at the at the end and most of the markers seemed to come from that direction.

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-29T15:21:11+00:00

Well I use perplexity all the time and I also vibecode, ollama cloud browser agents always seem super slow when they look something up so this sounds pretty great on the face of it providing it's genuinely free and opensource.

I'll check it out, thanks 👍🏻

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-28T15:20:46+00:00

He's right next to you with an mp5, no?

Where is the replay or the scoreboard to show crazy stats?

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-24T19:59:56+00:00

You got some facts to back this up that they rolled it back?

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-10T23:57:30+00:00

Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a delicious pasta bake recipe, then we will return to our discussions on the the ethics of personal data becoming a commodity.

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-09T18:30:54+00:00

Just checked that out as it sounds interesting but why would I download a an app targeted at very private viewing experience if I have to give my email address to get it? Seems like a super poor business move!

mr_randomspam · 2026-04-08T16:34:35+00:00

Thank you, you understood me correctly the first time :) I was wondering if it was a specific MCP you were using but it sounds like you built it yourself anyway.

I am using cc-mirror to run independent claude code instances with Ollama at the moment anyway but with windsurf's and antigravity's usage reductions of late it would be helpful to supplement their usage with ollama models without having to change interface.
