I really like this idea for a homelab jbod. Hardware Haven builds out Just a Bunch Of Disks using some pretty affordable hardware and has up to 16 disks added to his homelab with the os having full access to use with zfs.

This post is a thought. It’s a short note that I make about someone else’s content online #thoughts

💭 Desktop Crash 2026

I’m taking this as a reminder to treat every machine like its about to catch fire, any machine with a user regularly using it already has the match lit. I need to go through and commit draft blog posts, dirty homelab POC’s need to get out or get in, and not forever be in limbo. My efforts this year have been well intention ed to keep projects clean, on main, not dirty, but I think agents are making it worse before they make it better. I have some new ideas forming and old ideas for managing this have failed me.

💭 ARTEMIS II PHOTO TIMELINE

artemistimeline.com

Hank Greed made a really cool site to explore the Artemis II mission with Claude Code. Now this is what agentic coding is for, such a cool app to scroll around on and visualize when the photos were taken. Listening to the video is sounded really hard to get all of the data to line up correctly, between devices and timezones it ws not straightforward even though all of the schedules and images were made public.

💭 Hybrid theory is the greatest album of our generation - YouTube

www.youtube.com

Jaime’s title hooked me in here, what guitar riff from Linkin Park had the greatest riff of our generation. Theres something about Linkin Park unlike Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, bands I would listen to at this time that I cant remember a single riff, I can think of Chesters vocals, or the unique scratching they did, but mostly the songs were a whole piece. What riff is he talking about.

The very first note of “One Step Closer” plays and I’m immediately transported back to 2003 sitting in my garage watching HuevosIII on repeat. I can still remember the timing that Wes Miller did on the edit. I can see the riders I looked up to for so long riding in formation.

Turns out this riff is so recognizable it takes me exactly where I was when I listened to it hundreds of times.

almost left tokens on the table #

Almost didn't get through those gippity tokens this week, woke up yesterday with 50% and a day to use them, cut full 5.4 loose on a big project that needs a lot of work an it gobbled em right up throughout the day ran out just before bed.

Can You Feel the Slop #

Do you ever vibe code out a POC, and you can just feel the shitty code underneath? Every change causes 3 things to break and wires get crossed all over the place. Sometimes I just want to write the code again. Maybe its time to slow down.

approve rm #

Hot take, if you are unwilling to approve rm you should rethink your workflow, git state, or backups.

Note

This is meant for normal project work with an agent working in the context of a single project, with directory level access to the project.

Ping 54 #

I'm regressing back to boomer ai for more plan mode style prompting at home... It does a decent job at ingesting a repo and coming up with plans before I start spending precious tokens.

Tokens Just don't go as far as they used to #

Not sure if this is simply the flavor of the month, or a shift in gpt5.4 being super subsidized on release and now that we have gpt5.4-mini-fast out they have shifted, but I'm burning through half of my $20 gippity sub in a day with hobby level use. Second week in a row its burning so fast.
