alt Hacker NewsSame. It's quite remarkable. Two other things Claude and I have done. I have a spare workstation running proxmox in my garage. Claude can now create, snapshot, delete, extend, start, and restart vms. It's been great. I also have skills that allow it to spin up spot instances when I need to test things that rely on hardware I don't have like certain Nvidia gpus or 100gb networking. What a time to be alive.

Not to take your credit away but there is something called automation, scripting, etc.
All those actions within my homelab are automated via Ansible and bash scripts (I only run Linux), I am only notified if something goes wrong like a backup failed.
I get it if you never worked in IT, that is fine, but you need zero AI to get the above fully automated.
Does Claude keep versioning of the changes?? I host my own repos via Forgejo, Ansible and the automation process consume the config files from there, one source of truth. If my whole setup burns with fire, I can bring everything back online from the offsite Ansible playbook located at Codeberg.
To be fair, you never needed LLMs to be able to do all that.
