Re:Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup? on Thursday November 05, 2026 @02:41AM (#50376295)
so much inspiration in here!

hard to contain myself not to change my setup too often (instead of doing actual work)

I love this, thank you! I wasn't aware the melodies are different by direction of travel.

Not everything of course, not because of a few phrases, not your comment. But the recent omnipresence of these is just hard to ignore.

And my favourite most hated pattern, the no no no:

I set up a nanoclaw instance with access to Sonarr, Radarr and Jellyfin etc. Now my partner (and i) have a chat-interface to independently manage movies, instead of me having to go through the ui.

What is a responsible setup for running claude in a container or the like on macos?
i'd say take a quick snap with your phone, although that's not ideal in a locker room.
This. I could never recall the numbers, yet i always find the right one, just by a feeling for where it is.

I'm not sure returning to his previous job is his top priority right now.
Working from China, i've rented VPS outside of the country and set up tailscale exit nodes - as my private VPN. Speed is not always optimal but it mostly works.
Re:Vitodeploy: Self hosted Laravel Forge alternative on Wednesday April 02, 2025 @02:02PM (#43559456)
I've also had https://ploi.io/ on my radar as an EU alternative.

Although I'm a longtime Forge user, I want to give it a try soon. The UI does not look as polished in the screenshots, but it seems to offer more features, such as file backups.

Forge appears to be quite a critical part of the infrastructure, given its root access to all servers, which lies under US jurisdiction/influence, so moving to an alternative may be warranted?

I'd be interested to hear any opinions on this, as well as if anyone was able to compare the two tools.

Love it! I went to fix an easy sandwich and ended up building my own recipe app:

But then, as with most llm tools, the fun wore off after a few minutes of playing with it.

I love how the top recipe shows a literal stuffed lamb, e.g. a plush toy. Lots of the generated images have an early deep dream vibe

Because of when they were born.
Hey, that's an impressive site for being built using a code assistant.

I was wondering where you got the list of countries from or whether you're using a library for the dropdown?

(Curious because visiting the site from Taiwan it lists it as "Taiwan, Province of China")
