There's so much about this post I agree with:

;) )I deliberately sliced out the "Home Network" documentation from Notion as this made the most sense for systems that were in flux - so now I'm thinking (and Claude agrees) that a self hosted Github clone (leaning towards Forgejo at this point) makes more sense - still maintains markdown,

CMS!

efficiencies and improvements.To that end I've been running Obsidian as a synced vault that Claude can read/write as part of a distributed context management system (note: I should fully trademark that!

With LLMs/AI (Claude specifically), I wanted my knowledge to essentially become a live/update RAG system - something isn't just a static repository of the current state of things, but a mechanism to build insights,

For the last year I went all in on Notion for documentation and absolutely love it - but I don't love that unless I pay, then I'm the product just as much.

Me RN: playing Claude Desktop off against Claude CLI (Code) on how to leverage the old Notion documentation repository with the new Obsidian one for the home network - they're very complimentary of each other's strengths - but good to see the weaknesses also called out.

Living semi-dangerously with Claude upgraded from Pro to Max (ok - Mini-Max - not the "Mega"-Max, I'm not got 'billies in da bank yo!"...) I've done more in the past couple of weeks on the home network and applications (if anyone's interested):1. EventFeed - a RSS enabled logger of things2.

Is it time to revisit Mastodon again? Nostr doesn't look ready yet, X is still a cesspit and BlueSky is starting to feel tainted with recent changes at the top.

Current state of madness: SPOF (Single Point of Failure) is Notion being the SOT (Source of Truth) for all my things network/IT related. Tried to build a RAG augemented system of documentation with Obsidian, but failed. Claude (CLI) and Claude Desktop/App don't talk to each other, so who knows what?

It's 2026 and I still see WordPress websites everywhere - I get it, they're easy.

But I can't believe how we're still serving the bloat (plugins, unused scripts) and open access to out-dated self-hosted versions of jQuery and other assets.

Even if this was pointed out - would the site owners care?

I spent 6 months of spare-time/evenings vibe-coding intensively a full web application. Over 100k lines of code and almost a thousand files. I then spent a couple of hours this weekend effectively replicating 80% of it's core functionality in a browser extension. #Conflicted.

yeah - but this is true: simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/9/a...

Reboot - Part Deux – seriocomic A long hot summer, with it being too hot to work outside, has left me with too much time back in front of the screen – armed with my new buddy Claude. Having a capable ‘developer’ beside me has…

[Follow-up] - I finally wrote a thing: www.seriocomic.com/rhetoric/reb...

I've done a LOT of dev work in the past six months, enjoyed working with Claude (Desktop + CLI), so have a bunch of Webmin, Docker, bare-metal options to go with and Claude to hold my hand when I make mistakes - but here I am again, posting on the thing that works, even though it's not mine.

BlueSky is ideally what I would like, but without the social/federated noise. LinkedIn is where I would like, but I would feel constrained. Notion is an option because it's got ALL my Docs (nothing else came close). Old seriocomic.com site is still there - but I don't feel like reanimating it.

So I've gone through the "I want write some not-quite-blog" thing again. But I want to _own_ the code as well as the words - so I tried self-hosting Grav (not my style), Astro (way too complex with workers), Ghost blog (too opinionated), and the closest I've come to is HTMLy. [Thread...]

Recently noticed a large increase in the number of personal blogs powered by SubStack - admittedly, biased towards HackerNews where this observation arose, but after investigating the platform, I'm not sure I understand the appeal (apparently monetisation and subscription management)?
