How I built a fully self-hosted AI agent on a consumer laptop — and used it to plan a 45-day camper trip through Luxembourg, France, and Spain, without sending a single byte to an external cloud service.
I migrated from MinIO to Garage this week. Now I'm migrating again — this time to RustFS. Here's why, and how I built a proper Helm chart to run it on my Talos cluster.
A deep dive into my home setup: a fully wired Gigabit network, a 5-node Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster, dual Synology NAS units, and a desktop build that has absolutely no chill.
MinIO killed its community edition. Here's how I migrated to Garage on my Talos/K8s homelab cluster.
What does it actually look like to work with a personal AI agent day-to-day? Real workflows combining MCP servers, OpenClaw skills, and 4 weeks of production usage patterns. The good, the unexpected, and the genuinely useful.
After building both OpenClaw skills and MCP servers, what did I learn about the right abstraction layer? And where are personal AI agents heading in the next 5 years? A reflection on tooling, standards, and the shift from AI-as-service to AI-as-infrastructure.
How do you build an AI agent with genuine agency that remains safe? Defense-in-depth with network isolation, identity-driven boundaries, permission documentation, and audit trails. Production lessons from 4 weeks of real usage.
How to build Model Context Protocol servers that actually work in production. Deep-dive in auto-generation from API routes, permission models, and why 13 small tools beat one smart tool.
Why I moved my AI agent stack from Kubernetes to a bare metal laptop, what broke along the way, and the 98% success rate that followed. A technical journey through OpenClaw, Ollama, and production AI infrastructure.
