gotth-live
Go reducers and templ fragments stay in-process while a tiny embedded WebSocket client morphs HTML in place—no npm, no hydration, and one tiny local probe measuring the live handoff.

The cloud,
brought back
down to earth.
A personal lab for agent-operated software, private infrastructure, GPU streaming, and tools that are far too fun to leave as ideas.
Measuring the live handoff… gotth-live is opening one tiny WebSocket.

01 / Selected fieldwork
Useful things,
built all the way down.
Storage engines, agent control planes, protocol tooling, and test infrastructure—kept small enough to understand and real enough to use.
No. 001 xetcas Self-hosted Git LFS with rsync-style uploads. Content-defined chunking sends only the pieces that changed while stock Git and Git LFS keep working. No. 002 CandaceOS An approval-gated control plane for a small Compose fleet. Agents propose work; Warden supplies fleet truth; fenced executors apply approved assignments and leave durable receipts. No. 003 Liquid Proto + candacelib Small building blocks for durable Go systems: relational scheduling, exact-value redaction, and protobuf contracts with generated refinement validation. No. 004 Copilot Pair Turn one foreground Copilot CLI session into a shared browser room: watch responses, steer prompts, approve tools, and change models together. No. 005 pgmem An in-process PostgreSQL test emulator built on PostgreSQL’s own parser, with database/sql support, isolated schemas, reusable backups, and custom functions.

03 / Under observation
The lab bench is still warm.
Some work is shipped. Some is measured. Some is earning the right to become a project.
Go Green Tea
A controlled Go 1.25/1.26 garbage-collector study with literal raw captures, a frozen method, and a separate packed-span fast-path control.
Experiment complete · notes privateEigenvibes
A preregistered study testing whether compact acoustic vectors recover useful genre structure—and recording when the smaller representation did not win.

Own the hardware.
Type the boundaries.
Keep the receipts.
candace.cloud is a personal technology field station: part home cloud, part software lab, and part long-running argument that useful systems can be private, inspectable, and a little strange.
