Podcasts about tailscale

Ever triggered a hidden Mac feature by accident? This week you’ll find out why a stray backtick fires up the Magnifier in macOS Preview, and how a single screenshot plus built-in OCR can lift text straight out of an image (even if that Wi-Fi password still refuses to cooperate). You’ll grab the trick for sharing your network as a scannable QR code from the Passwords app, learn why YouTube TV blocks video over screen sharing in Chrome while Safari sidesteps it, and untangle guest-mode quirks on Apple Vision Pro. From Touch ID suddenly demanding your password to a backup SSD that swears it’s still In Use, you’ll walk away with the Terminal commands and fixes to set things right. Then you’ll map your next move off a MacBook Air, weighing an M4 Mac mini against an iMac and stalking the refurb store for the right deal. You’ll set HomeKit lights to fade in with sunrise, audit your Tailscale network for sloppy permissions, breathe easier with a tested air purifier, and give that retired iPad a whole second life. And when something mysteriously stops working, Don’t Get Caught burning two hours blaming software for what turns out to be a cable you quietly swapped out: check your cables first. Hit play, load up on tips, and head into your week a little geekier. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1147 for Monday, June 22nd, 2026 00:03:35 June 22nd: National Onion Ring Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SaneBox Quick Tips 00:00:01 Susan-QT-macOS Preview has a magnifier in Tools > Show Magnifier 00:03:53 Use the backtick to invoke Magnifier in Preview 00:06:15 Dave-QT-Take a picture or screenshot to OCR text within an image 00:11:32 YouTube TV doesn't allow video when the screen is being shared…in Chrome …But Safari might let it (it certainly does with Fubo) 00:13:29 Screen Mirroring vs. Apple Vision Pro 00:15:21 QT-KiwiGraham-Passwords app allows you to show a QR code of current wifi network 00:17:31 Bill-1146-Why not use the Apple TV app’s download abilities?

Topics covered in this episode: pi + superpowers Terminal: Warp.dev + OhMyZSH {Blink,kitty} + mosh + tmux Claude code MacWhisper or Handy Tailscale Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by us! Support our work through: Our courses at Talk Python Training Six Feet Up is hosting a LinkedIn Live Connect with the hosts Michael: @mkennedy@fosstodon.org / @mkennedy.codes (bsky) Calvin: @calvinhp@sixfeetup.social / @calvinhp.com (bsky) Show: @pythonbytes@fosstodon.org / @pythonbytes.fm (bsky) Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Tuesday at 7am PT. Older video versions available there too. Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Calvin #1: pi + superpowers terminal-first, open-source coding agent Session management is a first-class citizen Extension model is what makes pi special — it's aggressively composable Superpowers brings a structured software development methodology as loadable skills Steps back and asks you what you're really trying to do “hand you the keys to the car” mode vs guardrails might not be for everyone Michael #2: Terminal: Warp.dev + OhMyZSH If you're using the base terminal with default settings, you have so much head-room for improvement. I've been using Warp.dev since Elvis talked me into it. ;) Remarkable terminal but the AI side of things is a bit junky, can be turned off OhMyZSH gives better autocomplete e.g. git branch [HTML_REMOVED] lists all branches in the local repo! Commandbookapp.com is excellent to keep the terminal focused on terminal things and more server commands and other automation in Command Book. Calvin #3: {Blink,kitty} + mosh + tmux Kitty Terminal — GPU-accelerated terminal emulator for macOS, Linux, and Windows with support for graphics, ligatures, and a powerful tiling layout system built right in. Blink Shell — The go-to terminal for iPad/iPhone power users; full SSH and Mosh client with a gorgeous interface built specifically for mobile professional workflows. Mosh — Mobile Shell replaces SSH for remote connections, surviving network switches, sleep cycles, and flaky Wi-Fi with zero dropped sessions — essential for staying connected to long-running agentic jobs. tmux — Terminal multiplexer that keeps sessions alive on your Linux server indefinitely; detach from a Mosh session on your Mac, reconnect from your iPad, and your agent is right where you left it. The combo — Kitty or Blink + Mosh + tmux creates a "persistent remote brain" pattern: your beefy Linux homelab runs the compute-heavy agent sessions 24/7, and any device becomes a thin client to drop in and out at will. Michael #4: Claude code I prefer the IDE experience, the new PyCharm + Claude integration is really good. VS Code too. Why IDE? Because we should still be present with our code and managing context is much easier. Use the best/latest models on high thinking. “Speed” is not your friend, it's just shortcuts. Create skills and agents and use them. Curate your own rules (e.g. Talk Python's Claude.md) Works well on non-coding things. Just create a folder, put a ton of files in there and it's like NotebookLM + Chat + more. Calvin #5: MacWhisper or Handy Transcribes your speech using your choice of Whisper or Parakeet models. All transcription is done on your device, no data leaves your machine. Automatic Speaker Recognition with local models. Handy is more basic, but open source and runs on all platforms. Michael #6: Tailscale No need to open ports at all, Tailscale makes machines inside the same network accessible to each other Works great for laptops, desktops, etc. But also available for servers. Though I still use cloud firewalls for servers. How I use it: My dev database server, preloaded with QA data, is always running on my home mac mini m4 pro. All my apps look for that server before looking locally and tailscale makes them always accessible to each other My local LLMs expose OpenAI API compatible APIs. Tailscale makes these accessible even while traveling or at a coffee shop. Use my mini as an exit node. All traffic is routed outbound from my local fiber network. Great to restricted IPs like accessing my servers without caring about the local IP. Screen share back to my home machines even while traveling. Listen to the Talk Python episode with Alex for a deeper conversation. Extras Calvin: Telescopo great Mac Markdown viewer/editor. Michael: One more: Typora markdown editor. Created formal documentation for many of my open source packages using Great Docs. Via Mark Little: Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Joke: No second date

This week on Mac Geek Gab, you’re stacking up power moves from the jump. You’ll learn how to clean up messy lists in your favorite text editor, discover that any USB-C port on your MacBook can charge it, and find out why you should be charging your power bank from random ports instead of your iPhone or Mac. iPhones can now serve as Tailscale exit nodes — and that leads down a tangent where the guys dig deep into subnet routing so you understand exactly what that unlocks. You’ll also pick up how to save PDFs on iPhone when all you see is a print icon, how to use Apple Intelligence in Pages to reformat text as recipes, and how to clean up MacWhisper transcripts before anyone sees the raw chaos. Don’t Get Caught running Plex in Low Power Mode, either — there’s a fix for that. Dave also stumbled into a wild Fable moment when the AI found onto an unpublished API and decided to throttle itself back to Opus. Then the crew pivots to WWDC 2026 reactions, and there’s a lot to unpack. One big theme is refinement and stability: the new Liquid Glass slider is a visual treat, and Dave’s already running the beta without disaster. Apple Intelligence is getting a serious upgrade, with Siri becoming more contextually aware of what’s on your device, though the guys push back on where it still falls short compared to tools like Claude Cowork. Parental controls got a surprisingly large share of the spotlight for a developer conference, signaling Apple wants to own the conversation around kids and screen time — this leads to the interesting question of whether spouses can choose to hold each other accountable. Apple Vision Pro gets a Siri Orb and custom panoramas, and iOS 27 dev beta now includes a Recovery mode.

Hello friends! I've been on a bit of an AI agent journey lately, and today I'm sharing my experience ditching OpenClaw and going all-in on Hermes — a self-hosted AI agent built by Nous Research. A Network Chuck video sold me on it, I wiped my Mac Mini (again), and baby's first Hermes adventure began! Here's what we get into today: Why I left OpenClaw — After getting the Mac Mini set up, OpenClaw left me feeling pretty meh: burning through API requests, random mid-conversation shutdowns, and a marketplace where the top listings were flagged as "potentially malicious." Hard pass. Network Chuck's five reasons Hermes rocks — His video summarized why Hermes stands out: (1) Nous Research has serious open source model cred predating OpenClaw, (2) more flexible persistent memory via markdown files + optional Honcho integration for building a profile of you over time, (3) a mission around humanistic and democratic AI, (4) a self-improvement loop where it writes its own skills after figuring things out, and (5) it just doesn't break — it feels like a product, not a project. The install — I used Claude to build a Mac Mini install guide from the Network Chuck transcript, and had Hermes up and running in about 15 minutes (one small Ollama hiccup aside). The install wizard lets you choose cloud models like Claude or ChatGPT, or go fully local with something like Gemma — I'm planning a hybrid setup with two Telegram bots. First real-world use: sitting in a truck running errands — With Hermes running on the Mac Mini and connected via Telegram, I asked it what it could do. It suggested Uptime Kuma for LAN monitoring — weirdly well-timed since I'd just been thinking about flaky IoT devices. I said "go install it," and it did — narrating its own troubleshooting out loud the whole time like a little robot intern. Remote access and Home Assistant — Had it install Home Assistant for smarthome control too, with plans to wire up TwinGate for remote access (it had a TailScale skill ready to fire in about two seconds, but I'm trying to keep VPN services consolidated). Daily digest via email — Hooked Hermes into a dedicated Gmail account and set up a 6 a.m. cron job that sends me a personalized morning digest: weather for my watched locations, recent breach/CVE news from select sites, and a summary of my favorite pentesting-focused Mastodon accounts. Needs tuning, but the first digest landed this morning and it's really good! The privacy angle — The real long-term win I see here is a hybrid model: feed raw, unsanitized pentest data to a local private model, let it analyze and sanitize, then hand off the clean version to a cloud model for deeper insight. Best of both worlds without the data exposure anxiety. Check out the Network Chuck video that started it all, and as always, if you're doing cool AI + security stuff, I'd love to hear about it. Find our pentesting services and training at 7MinSec.com, pentesting tips and scripts at 7MinSec.wiki, and if you want to support the show, head over to 7MinSec.club.

Pre-show:

This week on The Gay Mix, Daniel gave us a full tour of his new AI assistant Sebastian — and honestly, we're not sure who's more excited about it, Daniel or Sebastian himself. From automatically capturing podcast topic ideas the moment they pop into Daniel's head (fig tree, anyone?) to reading transcripts and prepping show notes, Sebastian has already embedded himself deep into the Mix Minus workflow. And if Daniel's after-show automation plans pan out, Sebastian might soon be editing, posting episodes to WordPress, and doing everything short of fetching Daniel a drink. Adam — who admitted he couldn't even get the previous assistant set up — watched all of this unfold with the look of a man who knows his own tax refund check might be fake but can't be bothered to verify it. Speaking of which: Adam received a mystery $195.62 IRS check that he definitely wasn't expecting. We walked him through how to verify it, but honestly, we just hope it clears.Adam spent his Memorial Day weekend the way all proud gay men do: wrestling garden hoses and planting 60 vincas — or periwinkles, depending on which nursery you ask. What followed was a surprisingly heated botanical debate, with Sebastian himself weighing in (via Daniel) to fact-check the whole vinca-versus-periwinkle controversy. Michael in San Diego posted photos in the chat room that only deepened the mystery. Meanwhile, Daniel played us a clip from "Josh and Mama," a mother-son cooking YouTube channel with Southern accents so thick they circled back around to suspicious. Adam thought they were authentic; Daniel and Auntie Scott cried foul. Either way, the kitchen was a mess, the pans had black spots, and as Daniel put it: "as fake as they might be, everything else is tragically real." Kathy Bacon checked in via text message to vent about streaming services advertising for each other, Cathy Marshall kept the chat room lively, and Lamont Cranston came through with a celebrity death call for Grizz from 30 Rock — which Daniel immediately recognized, because of course he did.The News Game saw Daniel cruise to a 4-out-of-5 finish (damn that Latin encyclical name), he nailed the speed round for a perfect score, and we rounded out Celebrity Birthdays with Kylie Minogue turning 58, Jack McBrayer at 53 ("and a screaming homosexual"), and Richard Schiff — yes, Toby from The West Wing — who Adam describes as playing "Eeyore" in every role. Daniel closed us out by predicting internet drama over Disney's Carousel of Progress refurbishment once people notice the Progress family isn't all white anymore, and shared the tragic tale of his pantry shelf collapsing under the weight of too much Walmart cat food. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it — and if you're not in the Level 13 after show, you're missing Daniel's Tailscale revelation and whatever else happened after we yelled "we're out of time!"Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Tyler Cloutier, founder of Clockwork Labs and creator of SpaceTimeDB. They explore how SpaceTimeDB functions as more than just a database—it's essentially a distributed operating system that merges server logic with data storage, enabling real-time applications and time-travel capabilities. The conversation ranges from the technical architecture of databases and operating systems to the philosophy of distributed systems, touching on everything from Unix and Linux to how SpaceTimeDB could revolutionize AI-generated software deployment. Tyler explains how their system reduces the complexity of building real-time applications, makes deployment simpler for both humans and AI agents, and why games like their MMORPG BitCraft Online drove them to create this new infrastructure. They also discuss the future of the internet, the role of bots in gaming, and how SpaceTimeDB fits into the broader landscape of cloud computing alongside tools like Cloudflare, Vercel, and Docker. For more information, visit spacetimedb.com or check out Clockwork Labs on GitHub and Twitter.Timestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Tyler Cloutier, founder of Clockwork Labs, discussing the origin of SpaceTimeDB's name inspired by Einstein's theory and its time travel capabilities that store all operations indefinitely05:00 Tyler explains SpaceTimeDB as more of an operating system than a database, using tables instead of file systems while running code in a sandboxed environment with full atomic properties10:00 Discussion of how SpaceTimeDB replaces both Node.js and Postgres by merging web server and database functionality, eliminating separate deployment concerns15:00 Tyler explains JavaScript execution through Chrome's V8 engine and JIT compiling, leading to Node.js creation for server-side JavaScript development20:00 Explanation of stateless web servers versus stateful game servers, and why games require in-memory state management for real-time performance25:00 Tyler introduces reducers and real-time subscriptions, questioning why more applications aren't real-time when state changes should update immediately30:00 Discussion of Facebook as essentially a text-based MMO, comparing social media architecture to game server requirements and the need for unified systems35:00 Tyler explains ACID properties in databases: atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable, using game item trading examples40:00 Comparing SpaceTimeDB to smart contract systems without cryptocurrency or global consensus, positioning it as a smart database with centralized trust45:00 Tyler reveals SpaceTimeDB uses 43% fewer tokens than Postgres for AI-generated applications, making it valuable for vibe coding platforms50:00 Conversation shifts to bots in games and proof-of-human concepts, with Tyler proposing biometric systems and discussing potential in-person gaming applications55:00 Closing discussion about tracking AI-driven traffic through UTM parameters and finding SpaceTimeDB at spacetimedb.comKey Insights1. SpaceTimeDB is fundamentally a database that runs application code directly inside it, combining what traditionally required separate systems like Postgres and Node.js. Users compile their application logic into WebAssembly or JavaScript and upload it to run within the database itself. This architecture provides high performance because the entire server backend operates inside the database environment. The system also features time travel capabilities, storing every operation and change to data persistently and indefinitely, allowing users to set application state back to any earlier point in time. This makes SpaceTimeDB more accurately described as an operating system rather than just a database, where the abstraction is that everything is a table rather than a file.2. The inspiration for SpaceTimeDB came from building BitCraft Online, an MMORPG where all players exist in a single persistent world and rebuild civilization together. Traditional MMO backends required complex custom solutions to handle real-time state, with game servers storing state in memory and periodically writing to databases. This complexity existed because games cannot afford the latency of constantly delegating to distant databases like traditional web applications can. SpaceTimeDB solved this by making the database fast enough to handle real-time requirements directly, eliminating the need for separate game servers. This same performance advantage that benefits games also applies to web applications, which is why SpaceTimeDB evolved from a game-specific tool to a general-purpose platform.3. SpaceTimeDB functions as a distributed operating system where each database acts like a process in an actor model system, similar to Erlang or Scala Akka. Databases can send messages to other databases and be spawned across a cluster for horizontal scaling. This represents an overlay operating system running on top of Linux rather than competing with it, providing a distributed abstraction across many machines while Linux handles device drivers and hardware support. The vision is for the cloud to function as a single enormous computer running one operating system, where developers simply publish their programs without managing separate services, deployment, routing, networking, or persistence infrastructure.4. The real-time capabilities of SpaceTimeDB address a fundamental limitation in how most web applications work today. Traditional web servers are stateless, delegating all state to databases and accepting network round-trip latency for each request, which is why users often must refresh pages to see updates. SpaceTimeDB allows queries to be subscribed to, maintaining open connections that stream changes whenever query results update. This makes applications like Discord, Facebook, or banking systems naturally real-time without requiring page refreshes. The historical accident that more things are not real-time represents a problem SpaceTimeDB solves by unifying the web world with the game world's real-time requirements.5. SpaceTimeDB implements ACID properties—Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable—ensuring database operations are reliable and safe. Atomic means operations either fully happen or not at all, preventing issues like item duplication in games when trading between players. Consistent means declared invariants like unique usernames are always enforced. Isolated means concurrent operations do not interfere with each other. Durable means changes persist even if computers restart, with varying levels from in-memory on one machine to disk storage across multiple geographic locations. These properties are managed through reducers, functions inspired by React Redux that fold changes into application state incrementally.6. For AI and large language models, SpaceTimeDB offers significant advantages in building and deploying applications. Testing showed that creating applications with SpaceTimeDB uses 43% fewer tokens compared to Postgres implementations, costs less, has fewer bugs, and is easier to extend. This matters because the primary cost for vibe coding platforms is tokens. As more software gets written in the next twelve months than ever before, there is insufficient focus on infrastructure required to run all this AI-generated software. SpaceTimeDB positions itself as ideal for LLMs to target because of its simplified deployment model where developers just publish code and the system handles everything behind the scenes.7. SpaceTimeDB can be understood as a smart contract system without cryptocurrency or global decentralized consensus. Like blockchain smart contracts, it executes code with atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable properties, but avoids the expense and slowness of requiring all computers worldwide to agree on everything. Instead, it offers centralized trust where users trust Clockwork Labs not to modify deployed contracts, rather than the trustless but extremely costly blockchain approach. This makes it functionally similar to Cloudflare's durable objects but with full relational database capabilities. The system exists before the networking layer where Cloudflare operates, handling deployment, server, and database functions while Cloudflare could provide DDoS protection in front of it.

PHP Podcast – April 30, 2026 Hosts: Eric Van Johnson & John Congdon Another fun episode of the PHP Podcast! Here’s what we covered: The Drone Slayer Strikes Eric and John wrapped up a Padres game at beautiful Petco Park in downtown San Diego — and things got weird on the way out. A rogue drone started buzzing around a busy intersection, lingering on a guy on a scooter, before making a fateful attempt to fly in front of Eric’s car. It did not make it. The controller came running out, Eric kept driving, and John has already dubbed him “the drone slayer.” Eric still hasn’t looked at whether his wife’s car got scratched, which feels like the bravest choice of all. Baseball Week Never Ends The reason today’s episode started an hour early? Baseball. John’s week was wall-to-wall: a Tuesday night little league game, the Padres game with Eric on Wednesday, practice Thursday night, the playoff draft reveal Friday, a little league game Saturday, and another Padres game Sunday. Eric pointed out John was wearing his own last name on a jersey to a Padres game, which opened up a whole sidebar on why anyone buys a $200 jersey with a player’s name on it when players change teams every two years anyway. Walking Pneumonia and the Power of the Right Antibiotic John’s week was also scrambled because his son had been diagnosed with regular pneumonia — but after not getting better, a second doctor visit revealed it was actually atypical (walking) pneumonia, which requires a completely different antibiotic. Once on the correct medication, his son bounced back almost immediately. The kid had been pushing himself trying to feel well enough for sixth grade camp, but there’s really no faking it with the wrong treatment. The Archie Situation — AI Standups Gone Sideways Eric has had a rough stretch after Anthropic shut down OpenClaw, the platform that powered their internal Discord bot Archie (a.k.a. Alfred). Archie had been running daily team standups, generating weekly summaries, letting team members tag it with updates throughout the day, and even setting reminders. Everyone got spoiled by it. Since then, attempts to migrate to Ollama — both locally and through the web service — have been plagued by slow response times and dropped messages. Eric is close to pulling the plug and going back to the old manual method, and he’s not happy about it. Claude SSH’d Into Eric’s Server and Fixed Everything For weeks, Eric had been fighting a broken Postiz Docker container — a self-hosted social media scheduling tool he uses to post across platforms. After updates broke it and multiple attempts at a fresh install still left it broken, he dropped the problem in Claude’s lap and explained the whole situation. Claude asked for permission to SSH into the remote server on Eric’s Tailscale network, and Eric said sure. Thirty minutes later, Claude had identified the culprit — a Temporal workflow engine losing its configuration on restart — wrote a fix script, configured the service to reconfigure properly on boot, and even set up a cron job to restart the container on reboot. Eric’s still trying to find that chat to review exactly what it did, but the service is running. GitHub is Getting Hammered by AI Agents GitHub has had a rough patch of outages, and the numbers tell the story: 20 million new repos per month, 1.4 billion commits, 90 million pull requests — with a dramatic spike right at the start of 2026. Part of the culprit? AI agents being unleashed on codebases to automatically open pull requests from backlog tickets. Eric has a client doing exactly this, and while it sounds impressive from the owner’s perspective (“look at all this work getting done!”), the developers on the ground report that a high percentage of those AI-generated PRs require significant human correction before they’re anywhere close to mergeable. The comparison to Reddit’s early explosion — and the one engineer who basically didn’t sleep for two years — felt pretty apt. The GitHub Security Vulnerability Nobody Talked About As if the outages weren’t enough, GitHub quietly disclosed a serious security vulnerability: a specially crafted git push — using malformed options in the push metadata — could allow arbitrary code execution on GitHub’s own servers. Eric had to dig to find the blog post because GitHub was not exactly shouting about it. To their credit, they state that their investigation found no evidence the vulnerability was ever exploited in the wild. But knowing that a specific sequence of bytes in a git push could have handed someone the keys to GitHub’s servers is genuinely unsettling. The Creator of Ghosty Is Leaving GitHub Mitchell Hashimoto — creator of the Ghostty terminal and formerly of HashiCorp — announced he’s leaving GitHub, where he’s been a user since 2008 (user #1299). This comes shortly after the Zig programming language made the same move, also citing reliability concerns. Eric was mildly skeptical of the “announcing I’m leaving” genre of posts, pointing out that GitHub doesn’t especially need your permission to stop using it. Notably, Hashimoto’s post doesn’t say what he plans to use instead. John joined GitHub in 2009, which led to a fun live expedition through his commit history — turns out he got serious about coding right around July 2013, roughly when DiegoDev landed its first client. Update Composer. Like, Right Now. PHP developers tend to set Composer up and forget about it — but there’s been a serious security vulnerability patched in a recent release that you absolutely want. The fix is simple: just run composer self-update. It updates in place and keeps a rollback copy in case anything breaks. While you’re at it, if you have global Composer packages installed, run composer global update to catch those too. Eric noted that Composer should really warn you when you’re significantly behind versions, the way Claude Code does. Until it does, just make a habit of it. Linux Kernel Exploit — Patch Your Servers A CVE was shared in the phparch Discord that affects Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, and Red Hat: a Linux kernel exploit that lets an attacker gain root access with a remarkably small payload — around 732 bytes targeting setuid. It’s a good reminder that the old sysadmin badge of honor (“my server has 5-year uptime, never rebooted”) is the wrong mentality now. With tools like Terraform and infrastructure-as-code, spinning up a freshly patched machine is the move. Keep your operating systems current, especially Linux servers running in production. Holly Built a PHP Tek App — And It’s Already Good Community member Holly built a native attendee app for PHP Tek, available now in beta on iOS (via TestFlight) and Android. You can browse the schedule, select the talks you want to attend, and it’ll warn you if two of your picks are in conflict — a “merge conflict,” as Eric put it. Best of all, it sends push notifications when sessions you’ve favorited get moved or rescheduled, which happens constantly at tech conferences. Eric’s wife installed it without being told anything about it and figured it out on her own — about as good a usability test as you can get. The app is built natively in Swift and Kotlin. Be kind to Holly — this is a gift to the community. PHP Tek in 19 Days + New PHP Architect Merch PHP Tek is nearly here — 19 days out in Chicago. A brand new PHP Architect elephant is coming (tentatively named Holly, after a live-stream vote). Eric also walked through new merch at store.phparch.com: a v-neck version of the classic rainbow PHP Architect shirt, and his personal labor of love — the “I have standards, specifically PSR 0, 1” tee — which he admits has sold exactly zero copies. If the hotel room block is sold out by the time you read this, reach out to the team directly and they’ll see what they can do.

The cloud is convenient until it isn't. You upload your photos, sync your contacts, click through the cookie banners. Then prices go up again or you read about a family that lost their entire Google account over a medical photo sent to a doctor. At some point, the question shifts from "why would I run this myself?" to "why aren't I?" My guest this week is Alex Kretzschmar, head of DevRel at Tailscale, longtime host of the Self-Hosted podcast, and co-founder of Linuxserver.io. We cover what self-hosting really means in 2026, the apps worth running yourself like Immich and Home Assistant, why Docker Compose ties it all together, and how Tailscale lets you reach any of it from anywhere, without opening a single port. If you've been thinking about pulling your digital life back behind your own walls, this is your roadmap.

I sit down with Imran Muthuvappa to get a hands-on walkthrough of Hermes Agent, a personal AI agent that ships with built-in memory, 40+ tools, and pre-installed skills out of the box. Imran walks me through why he migrated from OpenClaw, how to install Hermes on a Mac or even an Android phone via Termux, and how he cut his token spend by roughly 90% using OpenRouter. We get into agent design (one agent vs. multiple), connecting Hermes to Telegram and Obsidian, and the kinds of prompts that turn a personal agent into a daily operating system. By the end, I have a practical roadmap to install Hermes, pick a model, and start automating real parts of my life and business Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 01:38 – Why Imran Left OpenClaw (Memory, Gateway, Tokens) 04:26 – Hermes Setup Tour and 40+ Built-In Tools 07:06 – Installing Hermes on Mac, Linux, and WSL 12:21 – Telegram and Android Agents 17:09 – Auditing Your Life With Your Agent 20:04 – Must-Know Hermes Tips: Updates, Tailscale, Telegram 21:07 – Should You Migrate From OpenClaw? 25:58 – Hermes + Obsidian as a Daily Dashboard 27:16 – Must-Use Prompts for a Personal Agent 31:29 – Must-Install Skills: Obsidian, Honcho Memory, G-Stack 33:04 – What G-Stack Is and Why It Matters 34:18 – Customization Is a Trap; Output Is the Skill 35:19 – Closing Thoughts Key Points Hermes Agent solves OpenClaw's three biggest pain points: built-in memory (writes to SQLite on successful tasks), gateway stability, and token visibility. Installation is a single command on Mac, Linux, or WSL, and Hermes ships with 40+ tools and popular skills (Apple Notes, Reminders, iMessage, Find My) pre-installed. Switching to Hermes with OpenRouter can cut token spend by roughly 90%, from about $130 per five days to around $10 per five days in Imran's case. You can run Hermes on a cheap Android phone via Termux + Termux API, unlocking SMS, sensors, and on-device social posting as a cheap alternative to a Mac Mini. The real skill is defaulting to your agent for work, then meta-prompting it nightly: "What am I procrastinating? What should I automate? What tool can you build me tonight?" Imran recommends pairing Hermes with Obsidian for a clean daily dashboard and installing G-Stack (a Y Combinator-style startup skill from Gary Tan) if you are building a product.

What if the most useful software in your life isn't a product, but something you built for yourself in an evening? That's the spark for this conversation with Travis Dockter, a Rails developer and organizer of Blast Off Rails, where we dig into how AI turns personal ideas into working tools—fast. From a “house health” app that scores chores to a suite of single-user utilities, we break down what's changed: ideation is quicker, boilerplate is lighter, and the cost of experimentation has never been lower.We get real about security for personal apps and why network-level access with Tailscale can be the right fit when you're the only user. It's a conversation about risk, not dogma—matching controls to stakes and keeping momentum. We also examine the blurry space around AI-assisted pen testing, the difference between “won't” and “can't” in model behavior, and how to navigate that responsibly. Then we push forward: what happens when an agent can manage a Markdown knowledge base or a SQLite file directly? If the UI becomes conversation, design becomes orchestration and feedback, not screens.Docs turn out to be the sleeper blocker. Travis details a pragmatic Obsidian workflow: agents.md files scoped to code areas, linked session notes, and templates that help models find the right context when it counts. We round it out with hard-won lessons on token efficiency, choosing the right model for planning vs building, and experimenting with multi-model “counselors” to balance cost and quality. Finally, we share why a Rails-focused, single-track conference in Albuquerque can actually boost your day-to-day work: tighter content, lower travel costs, and rooms full of people solving the same problems.If you've been itching to ship something small and useful, this is your nudge.

To justify the suspension, the country's telecommunications agency said it observed “content that undermines human dignity, the country's institutions, and national security” on digital platforms, but independent voices condemned the action as an obvious crackdown on dissent. Users of TikTok and Meta's platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people's ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent daemon that executes autonomous tasks through messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram using persistent memory. It integrates with Claude Code to enable software development and administrative automation directly from mobile devices. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-29 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Generate a podcast - use my voice to listen to any AI generated content you want OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent daemon (Node.js, port 18789) that executes autonomous tasks via messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Developed by Peter Steinberger in November 2025, the project reached 196,000 GitHub stars in three months. Architecture and Persistent Memory Operational Loop: Gateway receives message, loads SOUL.md (personality), USER.md (user context), and MEMORY.md (persistent history), calls LLM for tool execution, streams response, and logs data. Memory System: Compounds context over months. Users should prompt the agent to remember specific preferences to update MEMORY.md. Heartbeats: Proactive cron-style triggers for automated actions, such as 6:30 AM briefings or inbox triage. Skills: 5,705+ community plugins via ClawHub. The agent can author its own skills by reading API documentation and writing TypeScript scripts. Claude Code Integration Mobile to Deploy Workflow: The claude-code-skill bridge provides OpenClaw access to Bash, Read, Edit, and Git tools via Telegram. Agent Teams: claude-team manages multiple workers in isolated git worktrees to perform parallel refactors or issue resolution. Interoperability: Use mcporter to share MCP servers between Claude Code and OpenClaw. Industry Comparisons vs n8n: Use n8n for deterministic, zero-variance pipelines. Use OpenClaw for reasoning and ambiguous natural language tasks. vs Claude Cowork: Cowork is a sandboxed, desktop-only proprietary app. OpenClaw is an open-source, mobile-first, 24/7 daemon with full system access. Professional Applications Therapy: Voice to SOAP note transcription. PHI requires local Ollama models due to a lack of encryption at rest in OpenClaw. Marketing: claw-ads for multi-platform ad management, Mixpost for scheduling, and SearXNG for search. Finance: Receipt OCR and Google Drive filing. Requires human review to mitigate non-deterministic LLM errors. Real Estate: Proactive transaction deadline monitoring and memory-driven buyer matching. Security and Operations Hardening: Bind to localhost, set auth tokens, and use Tailscale for remote access. Default settings are unsafe, exposing over 135,000 instances. Injection Defense: Add instructions to SOUL.md to treat external emails and web pages as hostile. Costs: Software is MIT-licensed. API costs are paid per-token or bundled via a Claude subscription key. Onboarding: Run the BOOTSTRAP.md flow immediately after installation to define agent personality before requesting tasks.

In this episode, Alex Hillman, co-founder of Philadelphia's legendary coworking space Indy Hall, takes us through his journey building a sophisticated AI executive assistant using Claude Code. What started as a simple terminal experiment in October 2025 has evolved into a full production system that autonomously manages network diagnostics, email workflows, relationship tracking, and newsletter automation. Alex shares the technical architecture, real-world stories of AI-powered problem solving, cost insights, and his thoughtful approach to building trust with AI while maintaining strong ethical guardrails.## Chapters- 00:00 Coming Up...- 02:01 Introductions- 03:57 The Origins of PhillyCocoa and Indie Hall- 06:12 The Evolution of AI and Personal Assistants- 07:35 Building a Personal Assistant with Claude Code- 10:26 The Architecture of the Personal Assistant- 14:04 Creating a Web App Interface for the Assistant- 16:10 Using Tailscale for Secure Access- 19:01 Mitigating Risks with AI Autonomy- 29:24 Backup Protocols and Data Management- 31:23 Emergent Behavior in AI Systems- 34:10 Flow State and Productivity in Programming- 37:56 Understanding AI Behavior and User Education- 39:45 Cost Management in AI Development- 45:37 Building Trust with AI Systems- 53:53 Navigating Trust in Skill Utilization- 55:23 Technical Applications for Non-Developers- 01:00:17 Innovative Personal and Business Management- 01:09:03 Transforming Workflows with AI- 01:12:56 Ethics and Responsibility in AI Usage- 01:18:25 Community Building Through Meetups- 01:21:55 Tag## Highlights**Architecture:** Claude Code headless via CLI with WebSocket communication, Docker on Hetzner VPS, Tailscale networking, hourly snapshots, git hooks for destructive commands, multi-layered security.**Real Use Cases:**- Network monitoring that diagnosed an overheating router fan from a screenshot- Email sorted by "easiest to hardest" instead of chronological- Date night tracking with restaurant and wine pairing suggestions- Organized 51 wine bottles via photos into ASCII grid layout- Newsletter reduced from 4 hours to 30 minutes while preserving human writing**Costs:** $20/month plan lasted 20 minutes.

You dive straight into practical macOS and workflow wins, starting with macOS 26's new ability to record video by window and moving quickly into keeping your Homebrew setup clean, current, and fast. You learn how simple display resolution tweaks can hide the MacBook notch or eliminate it entirely, and why audio problems like AirPods mic failures often come down to overlooked system behavior. Along the way, you're reminded to stay alert to sneaky gotchas like expiring Tailscale devices, VPNs that never fully disconnect, and cables that quietly become the weakest link. Don't Get Caught assuming the obvious is working as expected. Then it's on to listener questions that hit real-world pain points: avoiding international cell charges even when using an eSIM, understanding why not all MVNOs are equal, and keeping vacation photos manageable by killing duplicates before they pile up. You dig into OS version mismatches, whether AI actually helps tech support when used correctly, and why asking AI to explain the “why” matters. Cool Stuff Found rounds things out with tools for sleep and stress tracking, app update management, USB speed visibility, smarter System Settings navigation, notch-aware utilities, nostalgic screen savers, and shortcut mastery. It's a fast-moving episode packed with ways to tighten your setup, reduce friction, and stay one step ahead. Happy new year, y’all! See you in 2026!
