At 05:40 on August 24, 2026, I migrated them all into my self-hosted Windmill—45/45 smoke tests green, all original schedules removed. If I&rsquo;d done this sooner, I would&rsquo;ve saved a lot of midnight log-diving. But the closer I got to actually doing it, the more I realized the migration itself had more pitfalls than cron ever did.Goodbye SaaS: I Cloned 7 Open-Source Social Media Distributors and Read Every One's Codehttps://blog.lynxflow.co/en/posts/open-source-social-distributor-survey/Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://blog.lynxflow.co/en/posts/open-source-social-distributor-survey/<img src="https://blog.lynxflow.co/images/open-source-social-distributor-survey.png" alt="Featured image of post Goodbye SaaS: I Cloned 7 Open-Source Social Media Distributors and Read Every One's Code" />I&rsquo;ve used the SaaS multi-posters (the Xiaodouyai type) — one click syncs a post to a dozen platforms. Convenient, but your account cookies live in their cloud, rate limits are billed monthly, and when a platform changes its UI you wait for them to patch it. This year I want to move to open-source self-hosting — keep my accounts in my own hands, be able to edit the code, stop paying subscriptions. Possibly even fork one into my own distribution base.Why I self-host my AI agents (and built AgentHub)https://blog.lynxflow.co/en/posts/why-self-host-agents-and-agenthub/Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://blog.lynxflow.co/en/posts/why-self-host-agents-and-agenthub/<img src="https://blog.lynxflow.co/images/why-self-host-agents-and-agenthub.png" alt="Featured image of post Why I self-host my AI agents (and built AgentHub)" /> A self-hosted rack of agents reaching messaging channels|AI-generated illustration Every day I run two self-hosted AI agent harnesses: Hermes (from Nous Research — Python, self-improving, with a skills system) and OpenClaw (a Node-based multi-channel agent gateway with a skills marketplace). Both are MIT-licensed, both live on my own machine, and their channels cover everything from WeChat, Feishu, and DingTalk to Telegram.
