Unnamed project
A personal home media server built on headless Debian running on a Raspberry Pi. It streams music and videos, holds the author's game ROMs, and automatically standardizes file names, handles tagging, and manages subtitles. It is attached to a 6-drive enclosure filled with repurposed old HDDs. The author built and customizes it almost entirely by instructing Claude rather than writing code or terminal commands, spending about an hour each night tweaking it.
What it addresses
The author struggled for years to make headway with Linux because TUIs felt obscure, inscrutable, and unintuitive, and they did not want to type esoteric strings of terminal commands; using Claude to execute tasks removed that barrier.
