2026
february
- gave YUCKBOX the machine learning processes for immich, hopefully this will stop homelab from crashing incessantly (it did!)
january
- tinkered with clawdbot (now openclaw), found opencode/cursor more intuitive (and secure!); need to figure out how to flesh out the harness and get it autonomous
- running homelab via ethernet plugged into LAIN; temporarily, got it wireless (but it keeps powering off, need to look into this)
