Protectli (node-1) has no free SATA ports. Library data needs to move to external storage.
Key constraint from Amr: *Modularity and upgradability are non-negotiable.* No hardware that won't fit in a future 19-inch rack.
Target architecture:
- Rack-mounted server (not NUC)
- 6x 20TB WD Red drives
- RTX Pro 6000 (not just for display—local LLM inference)
See atomic note: [[file:../2_notes/20260314_rtx_pro_6000_llm.org][RTX Pro 6000 for Local LLM Inference]]
Key finding: 96GB VRAM enables single-GPU inference for 70B models (FP8), 32B models (FP16). Effectively replaces 4x RTX 4090 setup for 30B workloads at lower power draw.
- Budget: $50/month (not per day)
- UFW: Installed and active
- Inbox location: memex/memex_inbox.org (updated in SOUL.md)
- Added to admin group (log access enabled)

- Hosting/Cloud Services: 60-70% margins, primary model (PDS hosting, Relay nodes)
- Professional Services: 30-40% margins, good for initial traction
- Marketplace: 80-90% margins, requires scale (Year 2+)
- Open Core: Not recommended - contradicts Agora's decentralization ethos
1. PDS Hosting ($5-20/month tiers)
2. Relay Node operation (pay-per-message)
3. Validator Oracle network (per-test fees)
4. Enterprise support & compliance
5. App marketplace commission (5-10%)
6. Premium identity (name auctions, verified badges)
See atomic note: [[file:../2_notes/20260314_pds_hosting_competitive_pricing.org][PDS Hosting Competitive Pricing Analysis]]
- Masto.host (market leader): $6-89/month for Mastodon hosting
- Entry tier: $6/mo (2GB DB, 20GB media, 5 users)
- Community tier: $39/mo (20GB DB, 200GB media, 500 users)
- Bluesky PDS: Limited commercial options, mostly self-hosted (~$10-40/mo VPS)
- Seed: $5/mo (10GB, basic PDS)
- Sprout: $10/mo (50GB, PDS + Relay)
- Tree: $20/mo (200GB, + priority)
- Forest: $50/mo (1TB, enterprise)
Research on automating org-gtd.el for OpenClaw integration complete.
See atomic note: [[file:../2_notes/20260314_org_gtd_automation_strategies.org][Org-GTD Automation Strategies]]
- org-gtd.el is optimized for *interactive* use, not batch automation
- Three approaches identified:
1. ID-based operations (recommended) - use `org-id` to locate entries
2. Custom non-interactive wrappers - write Elisp functions that accept arguments
3. Plain Org Mode - most automation-friendly, use standard Org functions
Deep architectural discussion on what a cognition-first agent would look like.
Key insights:
- Lisp machine philosophy: image-based persistence, live environment, homoiconicity
- Neurosymbolic computing: Probabilistic Engine (LLMs/fast/intuitive) + Deterministic Engine (symbolic/slow/deterministic)
- PDS as runtime environment, not just storage
- Org-mode as native cognitive interface
- Always-on, interrupt-driven proactivity (not request-response)
