The collection so far. More CPUs are on the way. I have started a new personal project: collecting CPUs. This is mostly a nostalgia project. I like the old chips, the markings on them, and the memories attached to the machines they powered. A CPU can look like a small piece of hardware, but it can also take me …

I did not start this because I was looking for a new observability platform. I started because I wanted to check what my multiple Hermes agents were doing. I have quite a few of them now (I am obsessed). Some run as profiles on the same machine, some run in Docker, and some live on other homelab machines. When I …

The overlord In the first part of this post, I talked about how, to get the most out of my agents, I decided to federate them — essentially creating a fleet of different agents — making use of the profiles mechanism offered out of the box by Hermes. As the number of specialists grew, so did the effort of managing them …

How it started Like many people out there, I do have a thing for chatbots and assistants. I cannot remember how my professional and digital life was prior to Slack and things.

It's been a while since I got a Logitech Litra Glow USB light for my desk setup, and I wanted to control it directly from my CachyOS Arch system. Fortunately, there are some great open-source tools available in the AUR - litra and litra-autoglow. You learn something new every day. At some point I was afraid that I …

I was checking my blog, dont ask why and I just realised that my last post was about a small Python script that I created in order to boostrap my Fedora Desktop. I had a good time with Fedora, but I have switched some months now over to Arch and specifically CachyOS and I think I am loving it. I do like paru and pacman …

It's been a few months now since I switched to Fedora as the main OS on my PC. I've been using the KDE version and I'm pretty happy with it, as I'd gotten slightly tired of GNOME. It's been a journey for me, and one thing that has helped a lot in recent years is the fact that I maintain (like many, many others out …
