How do I stop feeling left behind with Gemini Pro? (Trying to replicate Claude Code / homelab setups)

Hi everyone!

I'm honestly feeling a bit frustrated and like I'm missing out. Every day I see people building incredible setups around Claude running terminal agents like Claude Code, creating Telegram bots to manage their infrastructure, and connecting everything via MCP and custom plugins.

I have an active Google AI Pro plan (the 5TB tier) and access to the API via Google AI Studio (no billing) but I feel like I’m barely scratching the surface. Right now, my usage is limited to:
- Asking basic questions on the iOS app.
- A standard MCP connection between Home Assistant and Antigravity.

My environment:
- A self-hosted home server running ZimaOS with multiple Docker containers.
- Home Assistant for local automations.

I want to bridge this gap and use Gemini the way power users use Claude.

  1. Terminal / Dev Agents: What is the closest Gemini equivalent to Claude Code? Is Aider with Gemini Pro the benchmark, or are there native MCP-driven CLI tools that handle its massive context window better?
  2. Docker & Server Ops: Are there reliable open-source agents or bot frameworks (via Telegram, n8n, etc.) that leverage Gemini to inspect Docker logs, troubleshoot, or query server states on a self-hosted setup?
  3. MCP Tooling: Beyond basic Home Assistant toggles, what are the highest-leverage MCP servers or orchestration tools you pair with Gemini to make it a practical homelab co-pilot rather than just a chatbot?

Any advice, repos, or stack recommendations to help me catch up would be hugely appreciated!

Found a few iOS bugs (Audio resume, Bluetooth auto-play, Lyrics rotation

Hey everyone!, first off, thank you for the amazing work. I recently bought the official developer addon on your site, and this app is seriously becoming a true alternative to the big competitors.

I'm using an iPhone 15 on iOS 26 and wanted to report a few annoying issues I'm running into:

  • Audio doesn't resume after calls/ring ecc: If I get a phone call or similar interruption, the music pauses as expected, but it never resumes automatically once the call ends. I have to open the app and manually hit play. Sometimes even that doesn't work, and I have to skip forward/backward a track to force the audio to start again.
  • Bluetooth auto-play in the car: When I connect to my car (Tesla Model 3), hitting play from the car's screen doesn't trigger the app. With Spotify Apple Music podcast etc. it starts automatically, but with Eclipse I always have to unlock the phone, open the app, and press play from there.
  • Lyrics screen rotation bug: Just a minor visual glitch. If I'm viewing the lyrics and rotate my phone to landscape, the screen just goes completely black and displays a "Now Playing" text (or something very similar) instead of adjusting the UI.

Thanks again for all the constant updates. Let me know if you need any more info to track these down!

Hey everyone!

I've been using the BingeCat AI Assistant addon (bingecat.com) and I have to say it's absolutely fantastic — super fast AI search, great results, highly recommended to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. I had 2 questions:

  1. Custom search name

Is it possible to rename the search label that appears in Nuvio/Stremio? As you can see in the screenshot, it currently shows: "AI Powered Movie Search - Movie" from Bingecat AI Assistant Would it be possible to set a custom name for it?

  1. Unified search (Movies + Series)

Right now the search appears to be split between Movies and Series separately. Is there any way to have a single unified search that returns both movies and TV shows together, without having to search twice?

I checked the settings on bingecat.com but couldn't find anything related to either of these. Maybe there are manifest URL parameters that allow it?

Thanks in advance!
