I wrote about hardware benchmarks twice this week. Different problem this time. Same machines.
I have a Mac for daily work, a Linux box that runs a few media services and a GPU, and a Windows desktop I keep for gaming and AMD testing. They are all on the same Tailscale-managed WireGuard mesh. Each one runs a local memory store I use with my AI coding tools.
The store is local-first by design. No vendor cloud. No memory-sharing API. When I move from the Mac to the Linux box for some weekend project, the context I built up on the Mac stays on the Mac, and the new context I build on Linux stays on Linux. That has always been a feature for me. Until last weekend, when I realized it was also a constraint I had built for myself.
I wanted to query the Linux box's memory store from my Mac.
