SHE FOUND HER DAD'S OLD 2011 MAC MINI SITTING IN A SAFE AND TURNED IT INTO A FULLY WORKING HERMES AI AGENT MACHINE The starting point: a 14-year-old Mac Mini, Intel Core i5, macOS officially unsupported at this point. Instead of tossing it, here's what she did: → Wiped... show more

AI is making old hardware useful again. I read about it in @TheUpsideAI this morning

This Mac was hoping no one would mess with it anymore 😂

this is such a good reuse of old hardware imo, way better than it just sitting there

old hardware still cooks

… After some time, she found her dad’s old letter at the bottom of the safe, right where the Mac Mini had been. It contained only this: wallet.dat Passphrase: 7LemonTrees&Coffee2011

“AI replaces X” posts get views. “AI + a boring distribution channel” makes money. One of these is a business.

You can also tell Grok Build (or another Agent) inside VS Code Insiders to do all of this for you. After the Ubuntu install.

that old mac minis comeback is super inspiring way to show e-waste can be

E-waste for one person. An AI worker for another. The difference is creativity

Compute isn’t the constraint—unattended reliability is. A useful follow-up: 7-day uptime, recovery after power/network loss, memory growth and cost per task. Old hardware is a great agent box only if failures are visible and recovery doesn’t need babysitting.

Turning an old Mac Mini into this is awesome

this is easy to relate to

old but gold

The coolest upgrade wasn't the software - it was giving forgotten hardware a second life.

Old hardware still has plenty to give

This is way more satisfying than buying new hardware just to run one agent…

14 years old and still runs a full agent, that's actually impressive

The non-negotiable bit is putting that box on a dead-end network segment; an agent on old hardware with LAN reach is a pivot box with a cute origin story.

Eu fiz o mesmo com um MacBook Pro de 2010 e funciona perfeitamente.

Impressive transformation from old Mac Mini to AI agent!

this is way cooler than buying new hardware just because everyone else is

Bye bye Bitcoin

Hermes 🤍

What are the lowest specifications a system should have to be able to install an agentic cluster via Hermes / OpenClaw with SSH on it?

This is the same pattern we’ve seen in tech forever: people unlock new possibilities by using old tools differently. I read about it in @TheUpsideAI this morning

Turning a 14-year-old Mac Mini into an agent box is genuinely impressive reuse 🖥️

That's called a local server.

I’m running one of my Hermes agents on a 2012 Mac Mini (OCLP patched to Monterey). Runs just as sweet as its teammate on an M4.

Hermes is a scam and useless
