I’ve been working on custom #MCP tools to better tie my stuff together. It’s connected to the Assist functionality in #HomeAssistant allowing me to do things like:

• add items to grocery/personal/household to-do lists.
• check or update quantities of items in my #HomeBox inventory
• ask for weather forecasts for anywhere

#selfhost #homelab #llm #ai

#Zen browser added a "Live Folder" (a folder of tabs based on a RSS feed) in the latest version. And I don't know how many hundreds of items were on my #Readeck read-later list, but it's now five, which is incredible. Just bringing my read-later list right into my browser tabs has made a world of difference.

I've been using Valkey (and Redis before it) for years when building scripts or small apps to store a bit of data.

Even though I'm not storing a lot of data, it has always irked me that it needs to be in memory all the time.

Last night I found kvrocks, an Apache project, which provides a redis interface, but stores data on disk in rocksdb. Even better, it has "namespaces", so I can separate each app easily by credential.

Okta, for an authentication system, has so many rough edges and bad user experiences.

In the portal, and click the Sign Out button? Yeah, doesn't do anything.

Already logged in, but touching something that requires 2FA? Tell the user that, and give them options on what 2FA to trigger.

My org doesn't allow Windows Hello, so if I login with that, having Okta Verify pop up, with a big "Windows Hello confirmation <disabled>" doesn't help me, I can't use that to 2FA.

Ok. I feel you, it's the holidays.

Prediction: Companies will forget to draft business continuity plans for the case of LLM service failures or problems. "What do you mean Customer Service is down?"
