My day job has a Claude account, but for personal projects, I have been playing with different models and environments on my home server. My current setup is Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, Strata, and OpenCode/OpenChamber.

I already had a bunch of my projects on the server with with code-server (VS code in a browser) set up to access it, so switching between code-server and OpenChamber is just switching tabs.

However, I've mostly been managing it from my phone - the OpenChamber app is awesome. I still switch back to my laptop occasionally - it's a better interface for reading and writing code, and also the desktop OpenChamber app has a built-in browser that it can control, which comes in handy. I can bring up documentation in one tab, log into a service in another, and then tell the agent to do something. For example, this was how I got it to connect my Nest thermostat to my Home Assistant instance after I had tried and failed several times on my own.)

Oh, and separate from all that, I have Facebook muse set to automatically lower prices on a couple things I have on FB marketplace.
