My Personalized Daily Digest (Powered By AI)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:41:17 -0400

I’ve recently had the desire to build myself a daily digest. With the express intent to ensure all data is processed locally. I’m going to use this blog post to detail this project. Before we go over how this was achieved, here’s a lightly anonymized example of an actual digest that landed in my inbox: Weather Today's high is 48°F with a low of 23°F — a significant jump from yesterday's rainy 38°F high and 30°F low.

Claude Code With Alternative Models

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 21:34:23 -0500

While Claude Code has become my coding assistant of choice, I don’t always want to be using a remotely hosted LLM. I recently found out it’s pretty easy to use Claude Code with a non-Anthropic hosted model. This allows you to use an alternative remote host like OpenAI, OpenRouter, or even a locally hosted model. To point Claude Code at my LM Studio instance, which I use for local models, I can simply run:

Levels of LLM Integration

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 15:30:12 -0400

I’ve been experimenting with integrating LLMs into software development for quite some time now. Having played with countless libraries, frameworks, and tools, I’ve identified what I believe are the key tiers of integration individuals will experience today. Level 1: “Copy + Paste” - Human driven with AI Consultation I believe the first situation developers will experience is simply using a web based chat LLM interface like chatgpt, claude, gemini, deepseek, or even the self hosted open-webui.

Fixing Wifi Calling

Sat, 23 Nov 2024 17:32:21 -0400

I live on a property that has zero cellular service. This forces me to rely on Wifi for calling, and texting. Only loosely related, but that means when I lose power, I cannot make calls, texts, or use the internet. For that reason, I wrote a separate blog post how I work around this, and still leverage the internet during power outages. I’ve always founds Wifi calling/texting to not be as good as I had hoped.

Cat S22 Flip Phone Tips

Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:32:21 -0400

Battery Save Mode Quirks One of the most frustrating situations I originally experienced Cat S22 Flip was caused by its battery save mode. Since I wasn’t using this phone for much, I elected to have this mode on 24/7. While this helps preserve battery life, it comes with a notable quirk: the GPS gets disabled when the phone is flipped shut. This means if you’re using Google Maps for navigation and close your phone, you’ll hear that dreaded “GPS lost” announcement.

Switching To A Flip Phone

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 22:31:37 -0400

Why I Switched to a Flip Phone Recently, I decided to switch to a flip phone as my daily driver. The main reason? To reduce my access to distracting apps and to be less available to those not incredibly close to me. While I believe willpower is the best defense against distractions, I see the flip phone as “training wheels” — a temporary tool to help me avoid distractions until I can do so without assistance.

How to Load Balance With Preference

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 22:43:39 -0400

When managing multiple servers, it’s important to have a reliable load balancer in place. In many cases, you may want to prioritize one server, using it as the primary, while having a backup server only take over when the primary is unavailable. This approach is called a “preference-based failover.” In this blog post, we’ll go through the steps to configure Caddy as a reverse proxy load balancer with a preference-based approach.

How to Add a New Application to Dmenu

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 06:59:25 -0400

I’m a big fan of tiling window managers. Today I use i3, which I happen to have configured to use dmenu, which is an efficient tool for searching across all your applications. I often find myself wanting to add custom applications to dmenu, say a custom script I’ve written, and I’d like to capture how that’s done. Example Desktop File Let’s say you want to add Postman to your dmenu. You’ll need to create a desktop file for it.

Supercharging Your Local LLM With Real-Time Information

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 01:01:06 -0400

Intro Large language models (LLMs) are impressive, capable of generating human-quality text, translating languages, and answering questions. However, there’s a catch: they are limited to the data they were trained on. This means their knowledge can be outdated and they may struggle with topics that emerged after their training. But what if we could give our LLMs access to the vast ocean of information available on the web? This powerful combination would allow your local LLMs to:

Schema First Development

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 00:43:06 -0400

Introduction In the world of software development, there are many different approaches to building applications. One approach I’ve had the pleasure of using is called “schema first development”. This approach emphasizes defining the verbs, routes, request and response structures before diving into writing code. This methodology proves especially beneficial when developing HTTP REST services. Benefits Instead of jumping straight into coding, schema first development encourages you to start by creating a formal specification of your API using a standardized format like Open API (formerly known as Swagger).

My Favorite Air Conditioner

Types of AC Units I’ve made peace with considering window AC units, which come in two main styles: window AC: They sit in your window sill. Part of the unit is inside and part of the unit is outside. portable AC: They sit entirely inside your home.

Argument Passing Preferences

Thu, 30 May 2024 08:40:07 -0400

When writing software, we often need to handle various types of input arguments. To maximize flexibility and ease of use, I propose prioritizing the following methods for accepting arguments: Command-line arguments Environment variables Default hard-coded values As we move down the list, the flexibility of defining these values decreases. Command-line Arguments Command-line arguments offer the highest level of flexibility and are the easiest for end users to provide. They can be specified directly at the terminal or included in scripts that call your program.

Setting Up A Reverse Proxy

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 14:11:30 -0500

We’re going to leverage Docker, Cloudflare DNS, and Caddy to set up a reverse proxy for our home-lab, which is both easy to configure, and automatically handles SSL certs for us. Previously, I used Nginx Proxy Manager, but I’ve grown to not love this application, as its both difficult to have your configurations live in code, as well to have SSL certifications both be made, and renewed automatically. Additionally, I previously used Namecheap DNS, as my domains are registered there, but I have found their API to be less then desirable.

Caring For Your Sourdough Starter

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:58:41 -0400

I’ve been maintaining a sourdough culture since early 2020. It’s lived in three different homes, and has been driven across the entire country. I’m always trying to convince anyone to get into baking bread, and frequently give away part of my culture, so someone else can begin enjoying sourdough bread. This post is being written so I can share how to take care of one’s sourdough with friends and family. Everything I’m about to write can be more formally learned by following the wonderful King Arthur sour dough recipe, which all of this is based on.
