THIS FRENCH GUY RUNS OPENCLAW AND HERMES AI AGENTS ON A HOMELAB THAT REPLACED GOOGLE DRIVE AND ICLOUD ENTIRELY ON JUST 10 WATTS The project: host his own local AI agents, OpenClaw and Hermes, ditch cloud storage subscriptions entirely by running his own NAS, and use the whole build to prep for his K8s certification – all running on 4 Raspberry Pis. Today's upgrade: a PoE module. One Ethernet cable now does two jobs – powers the Raspberry Pi AND gives it network access at the same time. No separate power adapters, no cable clutter, no juggling connections during maintenance. Total power draw for all 4 Raspberry Pis combined: max 10 watts. He's not renting cloud storage anymore. He's not paying monthly subscriptions for space he already owns the hardware for. His files, his AI agents, his data – all sitting on hardware in his own home, on a fraction of the power a lightbulb uses. Next up: blocking ads network-wide across his entire home, using one of the automation services running on the same setup. This is what "own your data" actually looks like when someone builds it instead of just talking about it. Bookmark this post. Full build in the video below.

The companies charging $200/month for AI assumed local hardware would never catch up. It caught up. He's assembling the proof right now. A PC that runs Qwen 3.6 27B a free model that beats Claude on vision by 7 points. DeepSeek R1 for math and reasoning. Llama 3.3 70B for everything else. All local. All free. All forever. Electricity: $9/month. Subscriptions: $0. He used to pay $459/month for Claude Code, ChatGPT Pro, and Cursor. That's $5,500 a year going to someone else's servers. The hardware he's building costs less than one year of that bill. And it never sends another invoice. He's still assembling it. The subscription renewal reminder hit his inbox while he was putting it together. He ignored it.

CLAUDE TOOK A FULL PC GAME, REBUILT IT FROM THE GROUND UP, AND GOT IT RUNNING NATIVELY ON ANDROID IN 6 HOURS a guy pointed claude at slay the spire 2, a game he owns on steam, and it ported the whole thing to his phone almost completely on its own here's what claude did: > it pulled apart the game and recompiled it to native arm, no emulator, wine, or proton used > wrote the code, ran the build loop, and debugged it directly on the device itself > added full touch controls that feel like a real mobile game, not awkward on screen buttons > and he even built a tool on top to sync save files between his desktop and phone a couple prompts and 6 hours. it handled the extraction, the cross compile, the building and the on device debugging by itself. fully playable, not a single crash yet
