"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back..."

I'm asking, because I'm looking into options for moving from my simple OpenCode setup to orchestrating a bunch of agents.
However, one of my requirements is to have no OpenAI/Anthropic or other closed/proprietary products in the stack. I want my agents to be able to use both OpenRouter (or Routstr) and self-hosted models, depending on my privacy and performance requirements.

Anyone here running a Gas City for their agent orchestration (or tried it out before)?

Pro tip: While a lot of accounting software doesn't support BTC properly, plain-text accounting doesn't care what you count in. So I'm using hledger for native BTC accounting for a couple of groups/projects.
Bonus: Plain-text accounting is absolutely perfect for LLMs to work with (both read and write), so with the latest open weight models you can also do this with the privacy you deserve. (I'm using Ternary Bonsai 2 for example.)

My weekend project: an hledger plugin for Discourse.
There's no shared budget that I wouldn't account for using hledger these days. With Discourse, you can share your ledgers with others, and even have them add entries by turning a ledger topic into a wiki topic (with diff history and all).

@White Noise Multiple issues with my White Noise first-time experience today:
1. The app entry advertised in Zapstore was for a wrong (old?) ID and never resolved to any version on the app page. Might want to get that fixed there, as it's uninstallable that way.
2. I can't finish onboarding, because a) it claims the Damus relay from my mailbox list is retired, so it doesn't want to use it (but the relay is actually working) and b) it wants to overwrite my mailbox list, but when trying to "choose relays" other than the two recommended ones, it doesn't show my current ones. I think a messaging app shouldn't overwrite relays used for social media in the first place. Why not just start with the recommended relays, and then let the user change the relays just for the app, instead of their whole mailboxes list?
