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 AI, Mistral AI, etc). The primary storage mechanism is .md f

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 conformance to the spec. Just wrapping REST APIs may be what MCP Se

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. claude code) into a RAG system that you can use to chat w

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 never had a unique experience.

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 because of the technology gap. The money grab from big-

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? This Christmas I spent time with my parents and the topic

This is why I built the Nextcloud MCP server, so that you can talk with your own data. Obviously this is Nextcloud-specific, but if you're using it already then this is possible now. https://github.com/cbcoutinho/n

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 permutations of a data structure? Just because software can, does

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 Cline, so that I can chat with an LLM while having rea

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 reminds me of the excellent book 'Shape up' by

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 advantage openSUSE has compared to other mainline distributions

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 regarding directory-specific configuration. You can configur

How do you deal with the high costs of running an RDS instance? I think almost $30 p/m is a bit high for a small single family NC instance, when the EC2 instance running the actual service is going to a fraction of that.

I do the same. Also remember the following keyword if you use nested .envrc files: source_up If you don't use this in any nested envrc files, the settings don't carry over which means your git settings are not maintained. It is ki
