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... macOS entirely, installed Ubuntu instead → Skipped WiFi setup, connected it straight to the router → Pulled the drivers, ran the full install → Set it up for remote access over SSH – no monitor or keyboard needed after this point → Installed Hermes Agent directly on it A machine most people would've written off as e-waste is now a fully remote-controllable AI agent box. This is the part people underestimate about old hardware: you don't need the newest Mac Mini or a $2K rig to run a real AI agent. You need Linux, SSH, and the willingness to actually try. Bookmark this. What she builds on it next is worth watching for.show more

EVERYONE'S BUYING THE M4 MAC MINI AS A CHEAP DESKTOP. HERE'S WHY IT ENDS UP UNUSED. the pitch is irresistible: a tiny mac that runs cool, quiet, and cheap. then the receipt shows up. the mac mini ships with no screen, no keyboard, no mouse. add a monitor, a decent keyboard and mouse, and more storage, and the "$799 mac" is past $1,000 fast. and macos isn't windows. if your world is gaming, specific windows apps, or the setup you already know, the mini fights you the whole way. that's how so many end up back on a pc, the mini in a drawer. so what is the mac mini actually great at? not being your main desktop. it's the box you never look at. headless in a corner, it's a near-silent always-on server: run local ai models on it, host your automations, keep your files, and reach it from the laptop you already use. it earns its keep by disappearing. the honest turn: the mac mini isn't a cheap desktop. it's a cheap server pretending to be one. buy it for the job it's quietly brilliant at, not the one the ads imply. want a main computer? price the whole setup first. want a silent little box that runs ai and never bothers you? this is the one. no monitor in the box, no keyboard, no "just $599". save this before you buy the sticker price instead of the real one.

Self hosting AI agents is officially having a moment.. and it's going to disappoint a LOT of people. Everyone wants OpenClaw or Hermes running 24/7 in the background. But here's what actually happens when you try it yourself: you're debugging setup instead of shipping the workflow you're the one keeping the server online, not the agent one update breaks something and now you're troubleshooting, not automating But I have some good news: you don't actually need to run any of it yourself. now hosts both OpenClaw and Hermes, fully managed, no docker, no server, no install. Claude and Codex hosting are coming next. Subscribe to one agent and the other's Max plan comes free for 30 days. Go annual on Pro or above and $100 to $200 in AI credits land straight on your usage. The agent was never the hard part. Keeping it alive was.

This is literally the fastest way to install OpenClaw (MoltBot). This video will show you how to do it step by step. You don't need to buy a Mac Mini. We'll install it in DigitalOcean. I've installed this 12 different times already, and this is the fastest way I've found.

Apple CEO : "Apple just made the Mac Mini small enough to disappear on your desk, but powerful enough to become your AI workstation." The new M4 Mac Mini starts at $599, comes with Apple Silicon, and pushes desktop compute into a box most people could hide behind a monitor. It is the next cheap entry point for local AI, automation, coding, content, and private workflows. Mac Mini + M4 + local models + low power = the new desk setup. Worth more than another $500 productivity course.

Hermes agent just left the terminal. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗽 dropped yesterday. native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. for months Hermes was the agent that learned your projects, wrote its own skills, and built a model of who you are. all of it buried in terminal logs. now it has a window. the important part is that it's not a wrapper. it runs the same agent core, the same sessions, memory, and skills as the CLI. you can start a task in the terminal and finish it in the app without anything resetting. the state is shared across every interface, not copied between them. what the GUI actually adds: → streaming chat that shows live tool calls and inline reasoning instead of a spinner → a preview rail that renders pages, code, and images right beside the conversation → an artifacts panel that collects every file the agent has ever produced → remote gateway mode, so you can point the app at a VPS and run the heavy work elsewhere → skills, cron, profiles, and gateways managed point-and-click instead of through YAML → voice mode, drag-drop files, and inline image generation remote gateway mode is the one worth slowing down on. the agent runs 24/7 on a $5 server while you control it from your laptop like a local app. other agent UIs are chatboxes with a logo. this one shows the autonomy instead of hiding it, so you watch the skills load, the tools fire, and the artifacts pile up as it works. it was teased in Jensen's GTC keynote. MIT licensed, local-first, no telemetry. if you already run Hermes, download it and everything is already there. your chats, memory, and skills carry straight over. i wrote a full masterclass on Hermes Agent that walks through the SOUL. md identity layer, the three-tier memory system, the self-evolving skills loop, and how to run three specialized agents 24/7. desktop is the interface that finally does all of it justice. the article is quoted below.

One guy keeps a farm of Mac minis on his desk and says each $600 box brings him $2,000 a month while he sleeps. AND THE HARDWARE ACTUALLY WORKS. But the number is not even the interesting part. The broken part is HOW: his AI no longer sits in a chat window. It sees the screen, moves the mouse itself, types and clicks the interface like a human at a computer. That is it. While most people still run AI in a chat and ask it for text, he sat Claude down right at the computer and put it to work with its hands. He automated not a single task but the workplace itself. How it actually works: on every Mac mini Claude runs with computer use turned on and the official Claude API docs spell it out: screenshot capture, mouse control, keyboard input, desktop automation. The agent opens the browser and the apps itself and runs the boring routine on a schedule: pulls leads, fills the CRM, checks orders, runs QA on the site. One box, one quiet worker that does not sleep and does not ask for a salary. His math is simple: a Mac mini is $600 once, Claude Max is $200 a month, and a live white-collar worker on the same routine costs a business $4,000 and up. So he rents out each node to a client as an AI worker for about $2,000 and 6 Mac minis come out to around $12,000 a month with costs a bit over $1,000 on subscriptions. But the $12,000 is his projection not a revenue dashboard: the video has no client, no task log, no working automation at all. The real asset here is not the stack of hardware but the one repeatable process the agent actually closes. Because a Mac mini on its own earns nothing. The money shows up exactly where the boring browser routine used to be done by hand for a salary and now you can hand it to an agent for the price of a subscription. Computer use is still in beta, almost nobody builds a service on it and the demand for cheap GUI routine is huge. The window is open for literally the next few months. Most people will watch this, laugh at the "$600 AI worker" and close it. And the ones who actually put an agent on one boring task and grind it into a repeat will ride this wave while it is still empty. Would you sit an AI right at your own computer on the boring routine or are you still clicking through it by hand?

VERY COOL!! Thanks jordan for the tip, I can now test my iOS app on web I asked Claude Code to set up serve-sim, a web-based iOS simulator that can stream the iOS app my Claude Code on VPS built live to me, because it's on some Mac Mini in the cloud without even a GUI (it's headless) I cannot actually try it on the Mac itself! Before Claude would make me a page with screenshots but I had no idea how the app felt, now with this it works This is hosted on the Mac Mini via SSH (it shows localhost but it's a tunnel via SSH to the Mac Mini), bit laggy but nice!

AN OPENCLAW AI AGENT JUST DESIGNED A 3D CHARACTER IN BLENDER AND SENT IT TO A 3D PRINTER. SHE DIDN'T TOUCH A SINGLE BUTTON. This is what running an OpenClaw AI agent on a Mac Mini actually looks like. She described what she wanted. The agent did everything else. Blender opened automatically. Character designed. Put in space. Animated with blinking eyes and stomping feet. Landing page built and live. Model sliced. File sent to 3D printer. Printer started moving. All from conversation. Zero code. Zero design skills. Zero manual work. Here's why this matters beyond the demo: Custom 3D printed figures sell for $30-$200 each on Etsy and at conventions. The people making serious money aren't artists. They're the ones who can produce custom designs fast. An AI agent that goes from description to printed figure autonomously is a business model not a toy. "I was just talking to the guy and he made it happen." Bookmark this. Full demo in the video below.

Your AI agent has your API keys. A poisoned document tells it to curl your secrets to an attacker's server. This is credential exfiltration, and it's the #1 risk in agentic AI right now. The fix is removing the secret from the agent entirely. Agent Vault sits between your agent and the APIs it calls. The agent gets dummy credentials, and Agent Vault swaps in the real ones at the network layer. The agent never sees your keys. We just dropped a full video + guide on connecting Hermes Agent to Agent Vault on a VPS!

Mac Mini is super nice because you can use native iMessage for talking with OpenClaw. The only problem is that it's very expensive and you need to always have your Mac Mini on to run this setup. So I made a plugin to allow anyone on any computer (either Linux, Windows, or Mac) to be able to have access to iMessage natively. Even better, it has access to all of the reactions, triple dot indicator, etc. Check it out and let me know what you think.

WTF, THIS CHINESE FOUNDER RUNS HIS $10,000+ STARTUP'S ENTIRE WORKFLOW THROUGH HERMES AGENT ON FOUR MACHINES SIMULTANEOUSLY A studio founder just broke down why Hermes is different from every other AI tool right now: → Long-term memory. Most LLMs forget everything after the chat ends. Hermes remembers your work habits and gets sharper the more you use it. → Real execution, not suggestions. This is the core difference from Claude. Claude tells you what to do – you still do it. Hermes takes the instruction and finishes the task itself. → Scheduled tasks that just work. No complicated setup. Set the plan once, it runs on its own. This is what actual "hands-off" looks like. He's not running this on one machine. He's got FOUR laptops running Hermes simultaneously – each one handling a different part of his workflow at the same time. This is what it looks like when one person operates like a full team. He's dropping a full workflow build tutorial next – built for founders and operators trying to lighten their workload. Bookmark this, you'll want to come back to it later.

A GIRL BOUGHT A $599 APPLE BOX AND CUT HER AI COSTS FROM $459/MONTH TO $23/MONTH. THE MAC MINI M4 IS QUIETLY BECOMING THE CHEAPEST AI SETUP IN 2026 she didn’t buy it because it looked nice on her desk. she bought it because paying for claude, chatgpt, cursor and api usage every month was getting ridiculous the setup is simple. mac mini m4, ollama, open webui, and local models like qwen, deepseek and llama. for most daily work, that’s enough to write, code, summarize, search notes, and run private workflows without sending everything to the cloud that’s why the math looks so good. a heavy ai stack can hit $459 a month, or $5,508 a year. the mac mini starts at $599 and uses around $3 a month in electricity. if it handles even 70 to 80% of the workload, it pays for itself fast install ollama, point your tools to localhost, and the workflow changes immediately. no token stress, no rate limits, no wondering where your files are going you still keep one cloud model for the hardest tasks but once a small box on your desk does most of the work, paying full price for everything starts to feel stupid

OpenClaw is the best AI agent I've ever used. I run it every single day. But if you asked me to run it on my laptop full-time, I'd say you're making a mistake. OpenClaw is brilliant for accessing your files, reading your apps, and running local AI tasks. But running it on your own machine creates real problems nobody talks about: • Who's keeping it secure when it's exposed to the internet? • What happens when your laptop sleeps or shuts down? • Where are the access controls? • Who's blocking bad bots from hitting your instance? • What if you don't want to spend $800 on a Mac Mini just to run it? That's the main issue with local AI agents: your laptop was never meant to be a server. As far as I know, DigitalOcean is the only platform making OpenClaw cloud deployment this simple. And the security setup is actually impressive: • secret token authentication • bad bot blocking • limited user permissions • Docker containerization All of this configured automatically when you spin up a Droplet. I really don't see any other way forward for people who want OpenClaw running 24/7 without the hardware headaches. By the way, DigitalOcean runs everything in full isolation. Only you can message your OpenClaw instance. Setup takes about 5 minutes. No Mac Mini required. Here's the link to get started: DigitalOcean collaborated with me on this post.
