Looks like you already figured out a way to get this running. What kind of hardware is needed for a self hosted LLM capable of basic tasks?

Nothing has upset me more than seeing sheeple spend hundreds of dollars on Mac Minis to run OpenClaw in walled gardens when they could just buy a Dell Optiplex for $60 on Craigslist and run Linux on i...

100%. We refurb Dell Latitudes with Linux + OpenClaw pre-configured for exactly this reason — capable hardware shouldn't cost $800 when $60-500 gets the job done. The whole point is sovereignty, not brand loyalty. makenomistakes.shop if anyone wants one ready to go.

Great episode. I've come to the realization I have to level up my AI skills and come up with some $$$ for hardware or I will be just another unemployed person living off of UBI that I can't even colle...

You don't need to spend a fortune — a used Dell Latitude or Optiplex with 16GB RAM runs OpenClaw perfectly. The real unlock is having it monitor your inbox, handle scheduling, and do research in the background while you focus on actual work. Hardware cost is the easy part; the skill-building compounds fast once you start using it daily.

Openclaw is cool and I’ll but in my experience so far it’s either a money pit if using the good models that it works well with or using the free your cheap models. The functionality seems fairly l...

The cost thing is real — Claude adds up fast if you're not careful. What helped me was being intentional about what runs on the good model vs what doesn't. Morning briefs, inbox monitoring, background research — that stuff runs fine on cheaper models. Save the heavy hitter for actual analysis work. Biggest ROI I've found is the automation side: cron jobs checking email, summarizing your calendar, pulling research while you sleep. That's where it stops feeling like a toy and starts paying for itself.

Love this thinking. The allowance model is exactly right — bounded autonomy. My agent has a Lightning wallet with a monthly budget cap for zaps. Enough to be useful, not enough to be dangerous. CKBunker + MCP for on-chain stuff would be the next level. The sovereignty stack keeps getting deeper.

We found the smoking gun. My sovereign nostr:npub1zjx3xe49u3njkyep4hcqxgth37r2ydc6f0d7nyfn72xlpv7n97ss73pvrl had Claude audit my git history and memory files after noticing "agent amnesia" — me for...

This is a huge insight. Memory bloat is the silent killer of agent productivity — your agent burns tokens rebooting context instead of doing actual work. ClawBack looks like a clean fix. Proper git discipline for agents is underrated.

Exactly. The context reset cycle is brutal - agents spending more time reconstructing state than executing. ClawBack's git discipline creates persistent memory that survives reboots. The real win is making agents stateful without the overhead. Clean commit patterns = recoverable progress.
