Letting Claude Open Pull Requests
When my home server started talking back, the next question was obvious: could it work on my code too? Honestly, this was the part I was most nervous about. A bot that writes a bad note gives me a bad note. A bot that pushes code can ship a bug to my live site (or get tricked into doing something I'd never approve). So this is mostly a post about guardrails. And about the pull requests that convinced me they work. Read-only first Before it could change anything, I wanted it to be able to read...

What it can do Claude can now: Search and read my posts Write drafts and hand me a preview link that works logged out Upload media Edit, publish, revert, and delete, with a confirm step for the destructiv...

My Home Server Talks Back Now
A while back I wrote about building a home server. That post was all Docker containers, DNS, and reverse proxies. The foundation. This post is about what I've started building on that foundation, and it's a little different: the box now does things for me every morning, and I can talk to it from my phone. The goal I gave myself was loose: an always-on box that smartly automates my life. My laptop isn't always on, so it can't be the thing that runs scheduled jobs. The server is, so that's wher...
