    cited in 3 videos

  • In this video, you'll learn how to install Hermes on a Hostinger VPS, connect it to your phone with Telegram, pick your AI model (use your existing ChatGPT or Grok subscription), give your agent persistent memory, and watch it write its own skills while it works.

    Omarchy is DHH's opinionated Linux distro built on Arch, Hyprland and Quickshell, and it is the first time Linux has ever felt like the operating system I actually wanted.
