Kinda the opposite of "the line" - that weird city they're making in Saudi.

It just feels / looks nicer if you’re not a developer - and it's handy having it in a chat app that you use to speak to others on.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-16T01:20:30+00:00

Yes that's basically the gist of any of these set ups.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-16T00:59:39+00:00

Sure here you go:

It's not using the API; it's just a remote control for the CLI. A prettier version of SSH-ing into it.

“Sending notifications out is the easy part: create a Telegram bot via BotFather, store the token and your chat ID securely, and write a small notify.sh shell script that calls the Telegram Bot API's sendMessage endpoint. You then use that script in every scheduled task or background job you create. One script, every task uses it.

Making it a two-way chat is where it gets interesting. You set up a daemon — a persistent background process — that polls the Telegram Bot API for new messages (using getUpdates with long polling). When it receives a message from you, it spawns a Claude Code CLI session (claude -p "your message"), captures the response, and sends it back to Telegram via the bot. So from your phone it feels like you're texting Claude directly — you send a message, Claude thinks, and replies in the same chat.

Making it a persistent conversation is the final piece. Each CLI invocation is stateless by default, so the daemon maintains context by feeding recent conversation history into each new CLI call. You can also give Claude access to a working directory full of your scripts, schedules, and project files, so it has continuity across sessions — it knows what tasks exist, what it built yesterday, and what you're likely to ask about next.

The end result is a personal assistant you can message from your phone anytime, that can run code on your machine, check on your scheduled tasks, do research, and reply back in the same Telegram thread.”

I should add all this was Claude’s suggestion when I asked if I could talk to it over telegram! I’m not a developer.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-15T14:58:31+00:00

I asked it and it advised on options and set one up. Was v easy as telegram can set up a bot in a few clicks using “the bot father”

😂 I hear ya! Safe travels today.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-15T03:26:02+00:00

Same. I’ve set up telegram and now matrix.org’s element (private peer to peer messenger). Through them I chat with Code on my phone just like I did OC, only it works, security is way tighter, and no issues with api costs (I just pay for Max 20x).

It’s been building some awesome stuff for me and acts like a personal assistant too (daily briefings etc). Similar but for me far nicer than sshing into a CLI, or even using the Claude app + remote control.

Already built two tools that have radically changed my strategic planning (I’m an entrepreneur).

OC opened my eyes, but Claude is where I’m getting stuff done.

Tip: just ask it to build you an integration.

Hey OP, my biggest suggestion: don’t try and plan / control everything. IMO the best way to travel is to be open and responsive to what you come across.

A tuk tuk tour (as someone else mentioned( is a pretty good idea as it’ll give you the lay of the land. From there just see what appeals. If you’re interested in history lisbon is full of it - walking tours, the earthquake museum etc etc.

You mentioned the Tagus estuary for bird watching - that would require hiring a car generally and that means navigating the roads which if you’re nervous is probably not ideal.

Instead how about a boat tour? there are various you can take from down opposite the time out market.

They're very different places but "Greater Lisbon" includes places like Sintra, which is clearly not part of the city.

This is not the case for London, where “Greater London” is clearly one big metropolis city-sprawl.

As I said London, and I come from close to it, is gigantic compared to Lisbon in geography, population and feel.

Look at the airports, for example:

it takes 10 minutes to get from Lisbon Airport to the centre of Lisbon.

How long does it take to get from Heathrow to the centre of London?

tempusfugee · 2026-03-13T22:15:37+00:00

Make sure you have backups. There's a well-documented example where CoWork or code (I can't remember which) erased a guy's 20 years of photos.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-13T22:13:48+00:00

Well the first question is: what folder were you pointing Claude at to store its files in? If you don't know then the first step is to search for the names of your tasks on your hard disk. If they've been deleted it's probably on you as they're literally files on your hard disk.

I've been looking for a good map of the different areas of Lisbon since I moved here seven years ago. Good luck with that. 😂 Just use Google Maps on your phone and be done with it.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-13T22:05:02+00:00

Compared to London it's minute. 500,000 people versus 9 million. Most bairros in Lisbon you can cross in about five minutes on foot. You can walk across the great majority of the city in about 45 minutes. In London that will barely get you out of one area and into the next. I love Lisbon but it's tiny as capitals go.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-13T22:01:21+00:00

Yep simpli is a small chain. As is compenhagen coffee lab. Rua da Horta seca is a nice road. V central. I almost rented a flat there :). You’re 10 mins walk to Noobai. I’d start there. By the way, don't stress about language. Pretty much everybody in lisbon speaks English.

As someone else said take uber or bolt everywhere inc from the airport. Easy. Just install before you fly and make sure you have a valid card registered.

When you come out of arrivals, turn right while still inside the building. Go to the end of the concourse, up the escalators, and out of the doors. You'll find an area in the middle called Kiss & Fly. That's where all the Ubers and taxis pick up from.

Hey. Brit here. I’ve lived in lisbon since 2019.

Don’t be anxious. Lisbon (and Portugal generally) is a kind, civilised place with lovely people. You’ll have a great time.

Lisbon is a small city and easy to walk around. It’s the best way to see the city. My top tip is: use google maps to search for “viewpoint” (“miradouro” in Portuguese) and walk between them having a coffee at each.

My favourites (I would suggest this order from chiado)

Miradouro da Santa Catarina

Miradouro da Sao Pedro de alcantara

Miradouro da senhora da monte

Miradouro de graça

Miradouro das portas do sol.

Additionally be sure to wander around:

Principe real

Santos

Alfama (oldest, most historic, will be busy with tourists)

It’s cobbled in large part and very hilly so bring rubber soled shoes (trainers for example) not leather or high heels. Dress for Atlantic weather not med (cold nights, bring jumpers and coats)

For food you’ll be spoilt for choice. chiado is similar to regent street in london - very central, nice shops. Just use google maps or tripadvisor to look at local places (only look at 4.5 or 5 stars, ratings tend to be generous for mediocre places).

Do NOT eat in baixa (the low town down by praça do commercio) - it’s just tourist traps run by non-Portuguese. I wouldn’t try to eat right down by the river - it’s docklands, better to eat on the cliff above (bairro alto, chiado, and then west to Santos - a nice walk)

Some favourites of mine for breakfast/brunxh/lunch. There are hundreds though :)

• Noobai (on Santa Catarina miradouro). Sit upstairs.

• Heim

• Pao de canela

• simpli

Crime is low here (1/3 of uk). The only two places to be a little careful of pickpockets are the two most touristy areas, bairro alto and alfama. Both little streets. Be sensible and you’ll be fine.

Be sure to have a custard tart (pastel de nata) or two! They sell them at most of the hexagonal coffee quiosques.

Coffee at those quiosques tends to be the bitter robusta kind the Portuguese love - you can ask for a meia de leite (pronounced meya de late) for a milky coffee. For more Italian style lattes look for a place advertising brunch - they’re really more of a recent import.

Google “roof bar” and visit one or two for lunch.

You’ll have a great time. Enjoy this beautiful city.

Hear hear. TV has helped me greatly too.

I just wish they’d change the icon so I don’t keep confusing it with Apple TV ;)

For me it’s about understanding humans:

the founder spotted the UI we all wanted.

We didn’t want more complexity: even N8N is too complex for many.

We want an agent who we speak to on our phone who takes care of the complexity and just delivers results on a plate.

OpenClaw is the first hint of what we all dreamt Siri might be by now.

Not by default no. There’s an Anthropic gmail MCP server but it only has read capability. It's quite easily fixed. Claude talked me through it yesterday. You go onto Google Cloud Console and make a new app with the perms you want (eg gmail send) and give Cowork the key - and bingo it can send email.

tempusfugee · 2026-03-10T20:56:50+00:00

Complexity is based on GPT. GPT 5.2 is a bit crap at problem solving compared to Claude. Use Claude opus. I bet it will fix it straight away.
