Setup

Hardware and software setups for remote hacking. Homelab, tools, and productivity configurations.

My setup results, Claude is useless, and bug ownership

Two weeks working full-on with Codex, on the simplest setup I ever had: my server, ssh and tmux. This week: why going back to simple was the best decision I made, why I'm slowly breaking up with Claude, and the weird feeling of reporting bugs I didn't really find.

Home setup, goodbye Claude, and motivation

I tore down my over-engineered home lab and rebuilt it around a single tmux on a VM, the kind of setup we could have run in the 2000s. Then GPT 5.6 pulled me away from Claude for a bit. And some honest thoughts on what finding bugs feels like now that the agents do the finding.

Waiting for Claude, infinite scroll, and BusyBar

We spend all this time optimizing Claude, but nobody talks about what to do while it works. This week: how AI quietly turned me from a producer into a consumer, why infinite scroll leaves me empty, and the overpriced little device I bought anyway to fight back.

A hacker house, AI does the recon now, and dup land

This year's hacker house: same crew, a villa in the south, and the first time we all met up since Claude landed in our lives. Now we all just point it at the scope, and we all surface the same bugs. The trip, the new hunting setup, and a whole lot of duplicates.
