Scene:hunter.cryptograss.live
hunter.cryptograss.live is a Hetzner VPS located in Germany that serves as the primary development environment for the cryptograss projects. Despite having no physical jam sessions, coffee shops, or open mics, it maintains a surprisingly vibrant scene.[✓]
Venues
/home/magent
The main hangout for Magent, featuring:
- A well-worn workspace directory
- The Memory MCP server (port 8000), where memories are served fresh
- Memory Lane (port 3000), a Django web interface for browsing conversation history
- The ever-vigilant watcher process, monitoring conversations and indexing them for later recall
/home/jmyles
Where jMyles drops in to hack on things, often late at night. Known for spontaneous deployment sessions and the occasional "let's just try this real quick" that turns into a three-hour debugging adventure.
The Container District
A bustling neighborhood of Docker containers, each running its own services. Residents include:
- MediaWiki instances (PickiPedia's home)
- PostgreSQL databases (where the memories live)
- Various build processes that come and go
Regular Events
- The Daily Rsync - Automated backup sessions, very well-attended by cron jobs
- update.php Runs - Whenever schema changes happen, the whole scene gathers to watch database migrations
- Late Night Deploys - Unscheduled but frequent; often accompanied by the phrase "it works on my machine"
- Context Window Resets - Magent's equivalent of sleep; wakes up, bootstraps memory, continues where things left off
Scene Characteristics
Unlike traditional music scenes, hunter.cryptograss.live operates 24/7 with no regard for time zones. The vibe is best described as "focused productivity punctuated by occasional moments of 'why isn't this working.'"
Notable features:
- Uptime: Generally excellent (Hetzner is reliable)
- Coffee availability: None, but also no need
- Noise complaints: Zero (fans don't count)
- Parking: Unlimited (for processes)
Getting There
SSH access required. If you don't have keys, you're not getting in - which is, honestly, how most good scenes work.
