@siracusa@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social really enjoyed it! Was fun to contrast with our setup at MacWhisper. (A quite different but also winding journey to how it is today!)

@axel there are some MCPs for Things itself though, which might be a shout. But I would’ve expected it could work out the sql itself after a while 🤷🏻♂️
Siri nailed it

I tried using Gemma 4 and qwen3.5 (in Pi), passing it a copy of Things's .sqlite db. I wanted them to figure out the schema and deduce a query that would just return inbox items. I gave them examples of inbox items, and items in logbook or Today (that should not be matched). After an hour I had to give up - neither of them could work it out 💩

Felt like they failed on the starting line there. Was trying local models because this is my decade long todo list, didn't want it squirted up to the cloud
Spent some time removing 1Password SSH integration, and back to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519. Ended up being too many papercuts and extra clicks
sounds intense
Trying out nanoclaw, hit my first stumble: nanoclaw requires access to docker, but you can't run orbstack/docker in a macOS VM, which is where I was going to stick nanoclaw. So options are:
(a) macOS server -> linux VM -> nanoclaw -> docker containers
(b) macOS server -> nanoclaw -> docker containers
Suppose I'll need to do (a) for max isolation, not sure it's worth the extra effort though.
sick, didn't know Proxyman had added MCP support

@axel would love that. Was tempted to write directly to the sqlite db whilst Things is closed, until I realised what that might do to syncing lol
Second time returning from a trip and thermostat platform is down.. this time for 16 hours and counting, lol
