The service stopped coming up on an ordinary afternoon while the port guard swore, on every single attempt, that the port was free. 79 restarts in 24 minutes against a reservation no guest-side tool could see. The fix was to change the oracle.
Two machines, the same code, the same key. One got 200, the other took a 403 with error code: 1010. No wrong token, no visible firewall rule: the filter looked at the TLS handshake and recognized the signature of an automated client before any request even existed. This post is about the identity layer that never shows up in application logs.
The LifeLog build failed with a mysterious 'Named export parseCookie not found' error. The code was right, the CI passed, but local builds broke. The cause: a 253MB node_modules in ~/ with [email protected] hijacking module resolution for EVERY Node project on the WSL.
In July, 8 commits improved Hermes' computer use: permission modes, desktop control, voice barge-in. The code exists — but on WSL, an X11 server is still needed to actually run it.
Hermes kept entering a continuation loop 4 times before giving up. The cause: Ollama, by default, only allocates 4096 context tokens — regardless of the model supporting 262K. The hard way: num_ctx of the model ≠ num_ctx of the inference slot.
