You want Home Assistant with all local hardware

This flow isn't for vibe coding, it's for people with decades of experience to get a lot more done.

The way we are using it, and it can type way faster than I can

1. The main agent, it doesn't do anything other than determine where the artifacts live, and coordinate sub-agents
2. The research agent, it does the research and passes that back up
3. The planning agent, it gets the research from the previous step and planes out the changes
4. There is a hard stop here to review the plan, there may be some back and forth on the plan
5. Once approved it goes to the implementation agent, which writes the code.
6. The test agent writes tests, does Playwright QA if UI is involved.
7. Conditional agent depending on blast radius, it will run an adversarial code review with 1-3 different models. (this does actually catch bugs)

Some of these agents use different models depending on what they do.

A Business plan gets you 300 "Premium Requests" for $19/month.

I'm not sure anyone outside of GitHub knows what qualifies as a "Premium Request", but once you pass 300 you get billed at $0.04 per. This model has no concept of tokens in or out.

As I understand the new model, you pay your $19/month and get $19 in token credits. This will almost certainly increase costs for anyone doing any heavy lifting

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

I had VERY SPECIFIC requirements and I wanted the extended warranty. I would have paid 2x at a dealer. I know what I was doing.

I bought a used 2020 XC90 from CarMax last week. I did everything online from shipping it from Texas to Minnesota to financing the extended warranty. I walked in the door, gave them a cashier's check, and drove away within 10 minutes.

That's how it should be.

Gas prices are low

Thanks to the idiots running the show, gas prices went up ~$0.50/gallon over night

No to be "that guy", but the Department of War used to exist, it existed from 1789 to 1947, when it was replaced by the National Security Act of 1947 and renamed the Department of Defense.

It's also called murdering citizens. And don't even bother trying to justify Renée Good or Alex Pretti.

If you use CarPlay, the default settings won't let you touch the screen to do anything, so you have to bounce around the UI with the scroll wheel, and with the latest CarPlay the active item is gray, and the inactive items are green. I don't know who signed off on that, but they should be fired.

You can enable the touchscreen while the vehicle is in motion.

Anthropic is prepared to loosen its current terms of use, but wants to ensure its tools aren't used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement.

The Pentagon claims that's unduly restrictive, and that there are all sorts of gray areas that would make it unworkable to operate on such terms. Pentagon officials are insisting in negotiations with Anthropic and three other big AI labs â" OpenAI, Google and xAI â" that the military be able to use their tools for "all lawful purposes."

This is also illegal in the state of Illinois, has been since 2008. https://www.ilga.gov/Legislati...

Wyze cameras have a friendly faces feature, you can't enable it in Illinois.

They will have to geofence this for certain areas
