DO_NOT_TRACK Breaks Claude Code Remote Control

My .zshrc from my world famous dotfiles has a couple of lines with the comment "because we can't have nice things". Both are for privacy with the command-line tools I use. One is specific for GitHub's gh, the other is [...]

Collective Consciousness or Shared Hallucination?

Call me crazy, but I feel like I've been reading the same fucking article over and over again the last few months. My main consumption website is Hacker News, specifically the front page. It's flooded with "AI" content, no shocker [...]

Pasting Images into Claude Code on Linux

Replacing Notion with Markdown Files and git

I'm in the tin foil hat era and I've been doing a ton of breaking up recently. I'm getting fatigued on AI features I don't need let alone use. I'm even more sick of the fact that these features are [...]

Slack is great... for work. Discord is sufficient enough. Sadly, I've never really found any community servers I have enjoyed. It also doesn't help that age verification is now a thing. I've been of age for longer than I haven't [...]
