I run 3 servers for 200 EUR, thanks to Hetzner, exactly for this reason (and I’m cheap and I never understood cloud/services like Vercel and Railway as serious alternatives ;-)).

I played a lot with LLMs over the last year and built a multitude of products with it and it’s always just the same bottom line outcome: - be specific - keep it small - be precise when adding context - don’t expect magic and shift determini

While working on a new startup I had exactly the same challenges and issues. As soon as it gets complex, data gets bigger, amount of tools increases it becomes tremendously difficult to control agents, network of agents or anything LLM rela

Just find a Hoster with low traffic egress cost, reverse proxy normal traffic to Cloudflare and reply with 2GB files for the bot, they annoy you/cost you money, make them pay.

would be good to have an indicator if it’s available with your distro by default or what package you’ll need to install it since all tools are only as useful as available they are…

+1 I dropped school relatively early (I was extremely bored and the way of education was certainly somewhere close from the Stone Age times). I did an apprenticeship as software engineer with some (extremely useless) school component. Most

I input text and preferably I output JSON but doesn’t matter much as long as it’s somewhat structured. Ultimately I’d like to extract information like date ranges, specific indications of tool usages (e.g. I have a bunch of data apis with

The first few seconds/minutes I felt the same but it was fine quite fast. I think the typical spotlight reindexing was the culprit.

I switched as well and I actually use the AI assistant since then primarily. It’s awesome to connect search directly with AI, almost always get what I want immediately.

yeah, but it doesn’t need to be that way. It can be simple and makes it easier adoptable, why over engineering and reinventing the wheel of at least 2 decades experience and better practices.

OpenAI takes the backseat and wait until something stable/usable comes out of it which gains traction and takes it over then. Old classic playbook to let others make the mistakes and profit from it…

Couldn’t agree more, played the whole day today trying to get a HTTP MCP server with Claude running. Absolutely terrible, no clear spec, absolute useless errors and/or just broken behaviour without telling what’s wrong. Reference imple

well, min. required network confirmations could still replace the progress bar. I certainly pressed reload anxiously quite a few times :-)

No auth smtp server sounds like a very bad idea and the real culprit here. Security by obscurity (VPN in this case) never works.

This story is for me a real painful death I have experienced way too many times, absolutely nuts. But then you find an open source solution which is in general better and can do everything you want (simply tested already with just a docker

Agreed, cool and certainly some improvement but Freestyle is good enough already. Next step for me is more towards the new insulin research which activates only on glucose in the bloodstream (don’t recall how it was called but was here mor

“Asking our governments to create laws to protect us is much easier than…” A bit naive that, it’s too late since data is already mostly available and it just takes a different government to make this protection obsolete. That’s why we Germa

Very nicely written article. I’m also running a k8s cluster but on bare metal and qemu-kvms for the base load. Wonder why you would chose VMs instead of bare metal if you looking for cost optimisation (additional overhead maybe?), could you

Regulation, Taxes, inflexibility and small-thinking mindset let me leave Germany 10 years ago. I didn’t regret it a single day and everytime I’m going back home after visiting my parents in Germany I feel so much more free.

As a developer I’m always surprised that these issues are real. I’m used to store raw data I receive back from payment processing in my own database as transactional events (e.g. renew, cancel, successful and failed payments ) ends up as si
