Can someone explain context windows to me? Because I read that I could just switch to working on a different project or querying Claude about everyday stuff (thus switching to a new context), but when I try, it enforces the rate limit no matter what I want to do.
Claude Code is very powerful, damn. But damn, using Opus takes up your whole limit fast. That said it’s making way less mistakes than even Claude in Copilot.
I’m imagining a scenario where you give AI access to your encrypted messaging app, and it decides that it would easier to parse messages if it decrypted them and added them all to a networked attached database in plain text form.
You really do have to pay close attention to what AI is doing when you let it modify your stack. I was getting it to style Glance widgets and it decided that it would be a lot easier to get the APIs from my ARR stack if it moved them all off of gluetun, and it took me a full day to notice…. 🤦♂️
Ok the verdict is: this is a good set of bones for what could become amazing. Jellyfin playback combined with Sonarr and Radarr requesting, a Jellyseerr like media search, and live tv over IPTV from any country in the world?!!!
It’s at the very least a proof of concept for what apps like Infuse should work towards in terms of features. But it’s ugly as sin, to the point of being almost unusable. I’ll come back to it after a few necessary updates.
Are there any open models that work in a really similar way to Claude Sonnet 4/4.5? I haven't found any other LLM whose agentic coding approach is as well-designed. ChatGPT 5/5.1/5.2 creates so many headaches every time I use it. 4.1 is ok, but Claude really takes the cake imo.
But yeah, open models. One of my goals this year is to switch to running my own models, and I'd love something as similar to Claude as possible.
Jellyfin app for AppleTV with support for media requests from the ARR stack 👀
Haven’t tested yet but will report back once I do!

I think at some point I’ll get either the Clicks Communicator or Sidephone. Or maybe the ZTE Zinwa (which is a literal refurbished/renewed Blackberry).
But in the meantime, while I’m trying to avoid ditching my perfectly fine 3-year-old iPhone, I’m probably going to get this 👇

Pretty happy with this selection of apps. For those who are curious, here's what I'm running currently
Server Stuff
↳ Dockhand: the best docker web app I've used yet. Easy to understand, full featured, and lightweight.
↳ Copyparty: a retro-themed but very powerful server file browser. It can play back almost any file type, compress files/folders for download, and offers multi-user support with varying permissions
↳ Glance: the dashboard shown in the image below. Coded in YAML with a bunch of community support and documentation, making assisted customization very easy.
The ARR Stack
↳ Gluetun: forces containers to run external traffic through VPN always
↳ qBittorrent: downloader of things
↳ Sonarr (shows), Radarr (movies), Bookshelf (books/audiobooks), Lidarr (music): automated media downloaders
↳ Prowlarr: manages the torrent indexers that connect to the other ARR apps
↳ Flaresolverr: prevents cloudflare from blocking ARR apps access to torrent sites
↳ Bitmagnet: my own private torrent indexer. It crawls a decentalized hash table of all publicly broadcast torrents
↳ Huntarr: I just added this. It monitors your requests and library to determine which items are still missing, looks for them, and forces them into your ARR processes.
↳ Cleanuparr: Also new. It monitors your downloads and kills stalled downloads as well as maintains your seed ratio and cleans up unnecessary uploads.
↳ Bazarr: automatically finds subtitles for your media and adds it to the folder.
↳ Jellyseer: the beautiful front-end for requesting TV and Movies from Sonarr and Radarr. I mostly access Jellyseer via an app called Pocket for Jellyseer on iPhone, making requests dead simple
↳ Nicotine+: A client for the Soulseek P2P network. Great for sharing music with other music lovers.
And of course, Jellyfin: the open source Plex alternative that now hosts all my movies, tv, music, and audiobooks. I can stream this content to my phone, computer, and AppleTV via web browsers or any number of apps. I've listed my favourites in other threads.
Pretty proud of this Glance dashboard I vibe coded up over the past couple days.
What a versatile and awesome platform. Much less finicky and resource intensive than Homarr, and I love how it looks.
When I open Brave now, I'm automatically taken to the "Startpage" where I can see if my docker containers are running, if my VPN is configured, and if my indexers are pulling torrents—like these Linux ISOs and public domain goodies.
That's not all, still on the Startpage, I have the date, local weather (with hourly forecast), and air quality reading. Then on the second page, I've got relevant youtube channels and subreddits plus links to all the documentation and github's for everything I use.
