I've been building our home freedom server, Bitarr with Claude over the last week or so. Here's what Claude has to say about it: 🏴‍☠Introducing Bitarr: A Complete Self-Hosted Freedom Stack Just finished building an epic home server setup that combines Bitcoin sovereignty with media freedom: What's in Bitarr: - ⚡ Full Bitcoin node + Lightning (LND) + LNBits for family banking - 🎬 Jellyfin + full *arr automation stack (Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr) - 🤖 Local AI with Ollama + Open WebUI (no cloud dependency) - 📺 HDMI recovery system that auto-fixes display issues after power cuts - 🔒 Everything behind Nginx Proxy Manager with proper SSL - 📊 Comprehensive monitoring and testing for all services Cool features: - Smart plug integration for device control - Network optimizations achieving 900+ Mbps on gigabit - Modular Docker stacks that can run independently - Automated backups and service recovery - Family-friendly web interfaces for everything All config is on GitHub ready to be made open. Built with help from Claude - took a complex multi-stack setup and made it maintainable. Now my family can request movies through Jellyseerr and pay each other with Lightning, all running on our own hardware! #selfhosted #bitcoin #lightning #homelab #arr #bitarr

In the State of DevOps, we have the following metrics: 1. Deployment Frequency 2. Lead Time for Changes 3. Change Failure Rate 4. Mean Time to Restore (MTTR) Over the coming years I think we’re going to start measure the “Intent-to-deploy” times, measured in minutes.

So ... I found an editor for my book 😃 Turns out @claude is pretty good when given writing tone guidelines, and ability to submit PRs to issues on your repo!

Any Synthesis School users here? I created an MCP Server for Synthesis so you can ask your AI agent how your child's progressing with their education - or even create an agent to help them (such as with Open WebUI).
