I have developed an open-source memory system for agents accessible over MCP, which makes it possible to access it via any coding agent locally (claude-code) or via mobile (Claude …

I'm working on a semantic layer for Nextcloud: https://astrolabecloud.com The service is composed of two open-source services, namely a Nextcloud app (Astrolabe) and backend (nextc…

MCP Servers are not simple wrappers around REST APIs, they can do much more and we will see more advanced use-cases surrounding MCP as MCP clients continually improve their conform…

Astrolabe is a new Nextcloud app that I've developed that enables semantic search across your documents, notes, calendar, recipes, etc. It leverages the nextcloud-mcp-server (same …

The Nextcloud MCP Server [0] supports Qdrant as a vectordb to store embeddings and provide semantic search across your personal documents. This enables any LLM & MCP client (e.g. c…

Great points. I had at least three of your example scenarios occur between my parents and I within the last couple days. The more time I spend online the more I'm convinced I have …

Thanks for bringing up the point about power-of-attorney, I'll have to dive into that as well. I dread the day I have to get more involved in their healthcare from afar, precisely …

I've been running openSUSE tumbleweed myself for years, and recommend Linux to like-minded power users. OP is preaching to the choir. How do you all deal with (extended) family? Th…

This is related to the removal of 'de minimis' rule that exempts parcels under $800 to ship duty free. This has caused some European postal services to stop/delay shipping some pac…

From the paper: > Most language models face a fundamental tradeoff where powerful capabilities require substantial computational resources. We shatter this constraint with Jan-nano…

At some point, we have to admit we're asking too much from our tools. I know nothing about your context, but in what context would a single model need to support so many permutatio…

I dove into using LLMs together with MCP servers for the first time this weekend. Absolutely incredible. In addition to the code assistant, I configured a Grafana's MCP server with…

Yes, usage metrics are set via a configuration file, which you can also check into git. Changes to resources as well as usage estimates contribute to the forecasted costs

The six week cycle with down time in between chunks can be very effective. The crux is to make sure those blocks are properly scoped to make the best use of everyone's time. This r…

I've been on openSUSE for 10+ years, and it is truly the gift that keeps on giving. The community super knowledgeable and responsive, and the distro is stable. The biggest advantag…

Water and food scarcity in the Middle East, as a consequence of the changing climate and its reliance on the global food supply chain (wheat imports), is IMO one of the most import…

Are you open to using a tool like direnv to manage env vars on a directory-wide basis? I used to also suffer from the same paranoia, but direnv has allowed me to take back control …

Whoops, thanks
