  I prompted a custom TUI to manage my NixOS + nix-darwin machines into existence. Rebuilds, diffs, updates, formatting, linting, secrets, and cleanup - all in one place. Because "just run the right nix command" eventually becomes its own workflow 😅 Check it out @ github:rodrgds/nix-config

  Your first self-hosted project will probably break. You'll mess up permissions, forget to open a port, misconfigure something. That's fine. Breaking things is how you learn. Just make sure you have backups before you start experimenting.

  The future of AI agents isn't everyone using the same ChatGPT interface. It's personal agents that know your setup. Your tools, your services, your preferences. I've been building custom OpenClaw skills for my stack and it's night and day compared to generic assistants. This is where things get actually useful.

  Learning Vim motions is worth it even if you don't use Vim. VSCode has Vim mode. IntelliJ has IdeaVim. Even browser extensions exist. Once you're comfortable moving around without a mouse, going back feels painfully slow.

  Xubuntu on a server is actually kind of perfect. XFCE is lightweight enough that the GUI overhead is minimal, but you get the benefit of just opening apps when you need them. Obsidian, Chrome, tools that need a display... they just work. No SSH + X forwarding nonsense. Sometimes the simple solution is the right one.

  The best documentation is the kind you write for yourself. Not polished wikis or README files... just notes on what you did, why it broke, how you fixed it. Future you will thank past you for those messy notes way more than any official docs.

  Personal agents with custom skills are way more useful than generic ChatGPT interfaces. Everyone gets the same ChatGPT. Your personal agent should know your tools, your CLIs, your services, your setup. The memory stuff is cool but the real power is in the skills. An agent that can actually use your stack beats a general one every time.

  Just found an unofficial NotebookLM Python API that lets you interact with it from CLI and agents. Been using NotebookLM a ton lately. Being able to script it, download podcasts automatically, hook it into agent skills... yeah this is going to be really useful. ⏬⏬⏬

  OpenClaw is insanely good at research and figuring things out if you give it enough tools and keep prompts short. Better than most pre-built agents honestly. Only bottleneck right now is inference cost. Once that drops and I can run better models without going broke, this gets infinitely more useful.

  https://github.com/austin-weeks/miasma Trap AI scrapers/agents in an infinite slop loop. Actually a good idea tbf

  DevEnv and nix-shell are those tools you didn’t know you needed, but once you figure them out, you simply can’t live without. Seriously. They enable reusable development environments and are incredibly useful for any team; or even just for yourself if you work across multiple computers.

  God Qwen models just think for so long it's so annyoing 🥲

  Finally self-hosting my own FOSS social media scheduler. More updates are on the way; it’s still in the early alpha stage but already fully functional for all my basic needs.

  Missing a day doesn't mean things must spiral. Don't let them.

  Learning is yet to take a complete revamp, TBH. With AI, you can learn so much more in so much less time. It's basically a teacher with infinite patience. I just don't think society has noticed the value of this yet, but it WILL happen.

  Yes, configuring my NixOS machine wastes more time than it will ever earn me. Yes, I’m going to keep doing it anyway.

  OpenPost's UI is LOOKING GOOD ayy

  DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi K2.6, and GLM 5.1… Open-source AI is approaching frontier-level performance really, really fast. Not like I’m going to run any of these at home, but at least prices will be set by the market and not a single company.

  The best developer tools don’t make me feel powerful. They make me feel less interrupted.

  Invest time in sharpening your tools and improving your workflow. Even if it doesn’t seem worth the effort at first, remember: it compounds over the months and years you do this.

  @Gargron@mastodon.social Next time have them use proper lighting 😉 Always ask for previews.
