disclaimer: I'm a web developer (who knows a thing or do on how things work)

I setup hermes (on Hostinger) to check two real estate websites (greek market) for new properties. Long story short: the platforms do have their own notification system but somehow it never worked for us (slow to notify or asks for a premium sub or whatnot).

I'm using Deepseek (flash/pro) as a model of choice (direct api, not openrouter).

I've had the following issues:

- random captcha (solved with Firecrawl)
- random no captcha but no content returned (WAF/empty content) (with FIrecrawl)
- Camofox : deepseek has no vision / isnt multi modal, doesn't work as Camofox takes a screenshot of the page and then sends it as an image to the model

I also tried Chrome headless, also run into anti-bot protections.

I looked into the long running thread, followed some of the advice there.

It would literally be faster if I actually just checked the websites myself once per day 😃

I'm currently running Hermes in my personal M1 Pro. It runs fine but I've got some issues.

1. Laptop goes to sleep often (on purpose) therefore I need to wake it up to ask questions

2. I'm not running it with a Docker backend (had issues accessing some parts of the host machine e.g. computer_use skill to access a browser etc). But now I'm doing the anti-pattern where Hermes has access to my machine / browser where I keep plenty of stuff. (bit of a security risk but also I dont want it to accidentally leak personal information for me)

So I've been eyeing a small VPS subscription and was thinking to move it over there. I would then give it the permissions I want to give.

The alternative would be to purchase a mini-pc for it, and POTENTIALLY an AI machine so that I can also run a local LLM.

Cost wise given the cost of these machines (let's say north of 1000$) it'd definitely take me around 4 years to balance out the initial investiment cost of the machine AND BY THEN I'm pretty sure the models that now can run on it will be obsolete (e.g. Qwen 3.6 etc)

Open to ideas! It feels with the democratization of subscriptions (10/20$/m) there's no real risk for us to stay locked out of that access (e.g. it becomes a premium product suddenly that climbs to 4x the price...)

I realized the Anthropic Claude Pro account does not give API access to apps so I cannot use my subscription as a Hermes model.

The UI/application interface of Anthropic is very good but I'm wondering if I could ditch it and just get a 20$ subscription at opencode or crofAI or nous research and just use this for all my day2day (plus any other cron tasks I now have Hermes doing.)

Questions:

1. am I right to think I can't get API to Claude from Hermes with the pro plan?

2. what would you do?

I'm having trouble configuring the A/C output flow direction. I feel I cant move it higher or lower so it always ends up hitting the face of people which isnt so nice. Am I missing some kind of setting? thanks for your help

Μετά από καμιά δεκαριά χρόνια Γερμανια και άλλες χώρες, δούλευα πάντα πολύ με μεταχειρισμένα, είτε με αγορά είτε με πώληση.

Ηταν φοβερό που πήρα πχ ένα iPad pro στην μισή τιμή και το έχω ακόμη 10 χρόνια μετά, ένα καροτσάκι μωρού bugaboo πάλι μισή τιμή κλπ.

Θεωρώ επίσης καλό για όλους μας να αγοράζουμε και να πουλάμε πράγματα που δεν χρειαζόμαστε, ίσως η καλύτερη ανακύκλωση που μπορείς να κάνεις.

Αλλά στην Ελλάδα παρατήρησα πως προφανώς η αγορά μεταχειρισμένων είναι περιορισμένη (κάτι γίνεται με vinted / marketplace) αλλά το μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα είναι ότι βλέπω πράγματα που είναι κυριολεκτικά στην τιμή ΛΙΑΝΙΚΗΣ. (δηλαδή για εμένα που αγοράζω χωρίς ΦΠΑ, τα παίρνω πιο φτηνά καινούργια).

Υποθέτω ότι όλο αυτό έχει να κάνει με το γεγονός ότι μας αρέσει το παζάρι. Παρόλα αυτά μερικοί δεν κάνουν καν παζάρι.

Δεν καταλαβαίνει μάλλον ο κόσμος ότι όσο κρατάς κάτι που δεν χρειάζεσαι αυτό χάνει την αξία του και καλό θα ήταν να βάλεις λίγο νερό στο κρασί σου για άμεση αγορά.

Μερικοί ίσως απλά ψάχνουν ένα θύμα;

Πάντως μου φαίνεται φοβερό ότι τις οποίες αγορές έχω κάνει απο vinted, μου τις έχουν στείλει από Ρουμανία / εξωτερικό, κι αντίστοιχα κι εγώ έχω στείλει εκεί.

Υπάρχει ρε φίλε κάτι που δεν είμαστε ανώμαλοι στην Ελλάδα ;

I recall an older CHR of a friend who set his car to follow the car above and the car would also stop and start automatically.

Can I do this with my Xpeng? I've yet not being able to start the cruise control on speeds lower than X km/h, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

So if I dont get any answers to any requests about bugs or questions, what will happen if I actually ever have a serious problem?

I unlock the car, put my son in, close his door, and then go open my door : as soon as I touch the special point on the handle the car locks again.

What am I doing wrong?
