I needed a browser-based web client to reach my home machine from a work PC that locks down software installs. RustDesk, RayLink, and ToDesk all gate the web client behind a paid plan, so I self-hosted HopToDesk instead, and wrote the missing web-client relay bridge along the way. Notes on what worked, what surprised me, and the one TLS gotcha that ate an afternoon.
Moving oMLX’s model library to an external SSD on a Mac mini, then letting Kopia take hourly deduplicated snapshots to a second drive — so 36 GB of local models restore in minutes instead of hours of re-downloading.
Wiring Claude Code to a fully local memory stack: oMLX serves the LLM and embeddings, pgvector stores the vectors, and the open-source mem0 MCP server glues it together over SSE.
A pragmatic walkthrough: install Hugo, scaffold a site, write three posts, and build a static bundle you can open in any browser.
How a small set of type and spacing tokens can hold up a whole site without ever needing a redesign.
Restraint, proximity, and the case for letting a 1px border do the work of a 24px blur.
A 20-minute primer on getting a static site from blank directory to something worth iterating on.
