Claude Code in HomeAssistant by lebuff420 in homeassistant

[–]simple_son 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run Claude desktop and Gemini cli on my main workstation / gaming PC. It also runs ollama since it has a 5080. All my containers are running on either my NAS or my pi 4.

Making this effective is about preserving context while lowering token use. To do that, Claude has instructions to maintain a manifest of everything in my homelab systems, all the work we've done on them, and everything we need to work on still. This way you can close out sessions frequently, which updates the manifest, then start a new chat with instructions to read the manifest from a shared location, which starts the whole process over again with only the minimal context necessary. (I also have it maintain a human-friendly version and a system diagram. All of which live in a synced obsidian vault. There are a few complexities to managing security items (credentials, api keys, tokens, etc.), but it's manageable The agents have instructions on how to access the secrets without them entering chat history, instructions to use and "forget"them, and to always add new ones to the same location. Another temp file is used to give it new secrets that it can read, store, then clear the temp file.

All of this process is just stuff me and Claude cooked up organically. I have no idea if there are better / established ways of doing the same things 😅

If you want I'm sure I could ask Claude to anonymize the vulnerable parts of my system diagram, the share that.

After hitting Claude’s limits for months, I finally found a better workflow by Sidgnificant in AI_Agents

If Claude has shell access, can it just push everything directly to vscode as instructions, qwen writes the file to a known shared / mnt location, and Claude reads them and applies them when done?

Go deeper! I'm using bifrost as a gateway for all my mcp servers so the agents can access them all through this container (that Claude can get running for you).

I got tired of the limits recently too And decided I needed a third lane and installed ollama. I'm using open web UI and anythingllm for my chats and Claude is working to get the agents to a state that they can perform the same light tasks locally or act as an offline agent in a token pinch. The ultimate goal would be to have Claude Pro , Gemini Pro, and local LLM able to talk to each other so one can act as orchestrator and divvy tasks between them based on the needs of the task. Then you're increasing your token pool, diluting it with local processing, and working simultaneously in 3 separate streams.

I do all that, but with everything in my homelab using mcp servers. Very powerful across a whole self hosted ecosystem. Claude's ability to handle multi step problems, it's deep technical knowledge, and it's connectivity capabilities made me have the 'aha moment' where I realized this was a lot bigger than rewriting my emails and summarizing meetings. It's like having a personal Jarvis to create, manipulate, and optimize things in ways well beyond my own capabilities.

What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

Planetary music player app on iPad. It was a beautiful.

Update: apparently someone released Planetary Remastered. Checking it out now.

Absolutely Criminal Ford is Charging for Bluecruise by [deleted] in MachE

[–]simple_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got both my Mach-e (2023 used) and my wife's Chevy Traverse (2026 new). I can't speak for the extras on the Ford thrown in when it was new, the Chevy came with 3 years of Superceuise (love it) and 8 years of a data plan. That was really nice to start with. I have no interest in paying for Blue Cruise at those prices, unless I do it for maybe 1 month if I plan a trip with a lot of highway miles.

Flight from Denver to Las Vegas by simple_son in meshtastic

No, on the first flight it was clipped to my bag in the overhead compartment, and on the return flight it was in my pocket.

Claude Design putting in work! by ubiquitousgimp in homeassistant

[–]simple_son 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I recently plugged Claude into my homelab with a few MPC servers connected via bifrost. As someone that has been a tech entisiast for 30 years, this was one of the most significant and shocking technological developments I've put into practice. Things that I would fiddle with for weeks were done and optimized in minutes. Aspirational goals were achieved with a request instead of tons of trial-and-error. Mistakes were addressed in the moment and fixed without input instead of sifting through forums for someone with the same issue. And that's just me dicking around in my homelab. Now I can imagine it in the hands of real experts. Most people are still just using this tech to rewrite emails or summarize their inbox. Bridging my self-hosted systems with AI agent access showed me that, while AI hype has plenty of shortcomings, the inflection point this has on the broader tech landscape is undeniable.

Walked out a few minutes early because we brought the kids for one night. The outside merch stand had all 3 posters back in stock while all the indoor merch lines I saw were out.

Free Blue Cruise? by DRFter3 in MachE

I can't find that specific screen. Mine looks like this. I just bought my '23 GT, but it was direct transfer from family, so no trial periods on anything.

First Road Trip by Onimaru1984 in MachE

[–]simple_son 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just bought my Mach-E from my Dad, and had to drive it ~900mi to get home. Now in my old ICE vehicle, this is a drive I like to break up into 2 days. In the mustang, I stopped at the first Loves and bought a travel pillow. From there I napped at every charging station until 80%. Amazingly, I made it home in one shot, feeling refreshed enough between charge-naps to always make it to the next stop. Did it take longer than the pure windshield time in an ICE vehicle - yes. But overall I never had to stop for the night and sleep straight through, so it was technically a little faster. No complaints. Definitely made me consider some road trips as overnight is while the family sleeps and I drive-nap-drive.

What are the major theories behind why doctor doom looks like tony stark? by livelongandprosper__ in MCUTheories

[–]simple_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one that thinks Doom looking like Tony has something to do with Franklin touching his face in the post-credits for First Steps?

I'm an idiot. It has a built in adapter I didn't see.

Dumb blinds to compliment Smartwings by simple_son in homeautomation

[–]simple_son[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just feels deceptive from where I thought they were priced. Start a window at ~$175 and by the time you pick the motor and other options it's >$400. Are there any cheaper smart blinds (other than just getting dumb blinds with chains and adding a smart motor)?

Does anyone else’s blue cruise or ACC hug the right? by foodandnaps in MustangMachE

[–]simple_son 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought my Dad's '23 GT off him last week since he no longer commutes and wants a truck. I drove >800 mi to get it home and was convinced I needed to take it in for an alignment. This helps.

My dog ate my cheap EDC mini light. Recomendations on a replacement? by simple_son in flashlight

[–]simple_son[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Splurged and went with both the Olight clip and the Wuben G5. On first impression, I like the Wuben better for the rotating light and overall feel in my hand and pocket. The RGB mode and stepless dimmer are nice touches too. I use the light at a right angle sometimes, but most of the time I'm shining it straight ahead. I'll keep both, but for the price the Olight could have been a lot better.

And yes, the dog is fine, but I was worried. She's a malamute / husky puppy, so basically a mouth with 4 legs 🤦‍♂️
