THE STACK
The equipment I have chosen to power my increasingly offline lifestyle.
Infrastructure:
I run Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and OnionShare virtual machines on a Proxmox server.
Inference:
I use Ollama to run local models including gemma4:31b, gemma2:26b, gemma2:e4b, qwen3.6:27b and qwen3.6:35b on my Mac.
Workstations:
My primary workstation runs Linux KDE desktop. I use it for writing alongside llama.cpp, Zen, OpenCode, Blender, FreeCAD, Email and Web browser. The Genos Arranger handles music production.
