Feed

My little brother got married. A beautiful night to cap a beautiful day.

Farfield runs on my home server. Alongside it is a Hermes agent. It is probably more accurate to say that Hermes runs Farfield on the server, the agent harness is set up to manage the Caddy + Cloudflare tunnel infra.

One of the features that this Hermes agent has is the Claude Code skill. This lets it spin up Claude Code sessions, offloading compute to my oath'ed subscription, rather than raw token spend.

To test it out, I had the agent develop a new Farfield app locally. It put together a Photo of the Day calendar, pulling from NASA: https://calendar.farfield.systems/

I love this. Not only did it produce a full app in the background while I cooked dinner, it showcased the flexibility of that is developing around Farfield. Personalized software.

I like "feeds". I was an early Twitter adopter in high school, and the format has stuck with me.

What hasn't stuck is social media.

As I try to be more intentional about tending to my personal website, I took a leaf out of my friend Steve's book and started building some of my own software to solve things I wanted to accomplish on the web.

One piece was a new backend for the site you are looking at right now. The posts, the images, even this feed, all managed through some homebrew CRUD.
