The Headless Claude
I'm a fan of the 1-liter PCs. I have three of them and I recommend them all the time. They're great! The ones I get come with 16gb memory, ssd, and an i5. I bump them up to 32gb ram and add a 2tb nvme drive. They're capable of handling whatever I throw at them.
Claude and I have been working together on some projects, alot lately. But, my computer has to be in bed by 8pm even though Claude still wants to work. Fortunately, Claude Code has a "remote control" feature. This feature requires the computer to be on, and since my laptop is always in bed by 8pm, I put chopped off Claude's head and put him in a 1-liter PC.
This PC is running Debian 13 and I hardened it with some Ansible scripts. I installed Tailscale so I can SSH into it from anywhere. It's got a lot of handy CLI tools I'm always using. It can connect to the taskd MCP server with no problems.
So, now after I put my laptop in bed, I'm still chatting away with Claude. We've broken so many things and fixed a few; it's been a learning experience.
It's also a lot easier to leave a Docker container running on a headless Linux box than on my Macbook Air.
