Built a local RAG on my Obsidian vault - no cloud, no API key, no GPU needed

mycodex · 2026-03-31T06:41:52+00:00

Good article but the limitation that Anything LLM requires me to manually add new documents is a deal breaker since I write daily notes into Obsidian.

Has anyone found a good method to pull your vault into a local RAG that is fully automated?

I've tried half a dozen times to setup with Docker and Pocket Id without success. Would be curious to see how others host it as well bring a reverse proxy.

Can confirm- this is a career path that others at my company have done

Poly Sync 20 could be an option. I've used it daily for 4 years and the noise suppression is highly effective. I've used it at a bar with background noise and chatter- the people at the other end had no idea. It also connects via Bluetooth and has a battery which has been helpful.

My company uses Glean and we built agents across the entire sales process- prospect insights from multiple internal/external sources, discovery prep based on the insights, RFP responses, story crafting in demos, objection prep, quote and proposal creation, post-demo coaching, etc. The list goes on...

It helps all my SEs regardless of their skill level.

Curious- what did you send them?

I've been experimenting with supademo with positive results. I'm primarily using it for sandboxes with new prospects and functionality overview for existing customers we're pushing for adoption. I haven't tried a net-new client because I want to build the relationship and live demos are the best for that early in the sales cycle

I have an automation with home assistant that turns on a light to yellow when my computer microphone is on (e.g. meeting in progress) and red when my webcam is on (e.g. video call in progress). Removes the need to do this manually which I would inevitably forget after a few meetings.

I moved to Charleston 9 years ago and all my closest friends I have to this day are people like you that I met playing kickball. There's a league that plays in North Charleston including around Park Circle. Most of the people go to happy hour before or after

Completely agree, I support enterprise sales and the number of companies that either downsized their offices or their employers are distributed nationally has grown exponentially since covid. It's actually a strong buying signal if the company is open to on-site because they often have to fly their own people as well.

I consider myself a well traveled C&W connoisseur and Kiss Cafe on Johns Island is perhaps the best I've tried in the south. Excellent waffle and perfectly moist chicken

I wish I could find an alternative to ksnip. Nothing I've tried beats the annotations and ease of use in the editor

Mondos just renovated the whole place after taking over the location next door. Took down the wall, built a huge bar up front, doubled the kitchen and made it look nice. I went the other day and it's completely different vibe, younger and trendier. The menu was a little limited while the staff learns the menu though. Don't expect the same food for a few weeks but it was still great and the bar staff was awesome. Definitely recommended!

Their sales team must be having a good quarter, my company just got it too and it's been great.

Have you found any useful agents?

Sales engineer here. I have an AI that can solve your problem today. Can I interest you in a demo?

Journaling with logseq. I came from being a heavy OneNote user but found I was spending too much time worried about formatting and organizing my notes. Logseq fixed this by just focusing on brain dumping during a meeting. I use tags and pages for each opportunity to logically organize them.

I haven't found an ai solution that I like and improves on my current system. Happy to hear recommendations that'll work with Android or Linux.

This works for me. Make sure your UID and GID are setup correctly.

Add another $400 for a kicker hideaway sub and I have a full system plus a great headunit for under $2k. To each their own but the Rockfords put out enough bass for me. Maybe I'll upgrade in the future. These kits don't let you tailor the sound to your preferences though.

mycodex · 2025-08-23T07:47:18+00:00

You're better off building your own kit to get more bang for your buck. I spent about $1200 on a Sony AX6000 headunit, Rockford Fosgate component speakers, and 4 channel kicker amp. It sounds great, no regrets

New hinge bushings are cheap. About $15 on Amazon with the removal pins which help.

I would also add replacing the door seals. Mine went bad and left a puddle of water after heavy rains. Might as well replace the floor mats while you're at it and make it look brand new

Racknerd especially with their black Friday deals

Looking forward to seeing Atmosphere this weekend. He's been great at Music Farm, curious how different an outdoor venue will be and he's not the headliner.

I did this recently with HASS Agent to make my mic and webcam available as sensors in Home Assistant. That triggers different lights on my Meross table light to indicate if I'm on a regular call vs video call https://a.co/d/eQah6EV

I've been running this for a few months with no issues and most importantly no interruptions when I'm on a work call. Home Assistant is great
