The piece covers the full picture that most guides skip. Real monthly cost breakdowns by usage level, step by step installation on VPS and Mac including the gateway security config that basically nobody mentions, WhatsApp vs Telegram honest comparison including the ban risk, hardware tiers from Raspberry Pi to Mac Mini M4 with actual reasoning behind each, the agent skills ecosystem and the supply chain security problem it already has, and unfiltered Twitter reactions from people who loved it and people who burned $70 in 24 hours and gave up.The security section covers CVE-2026-25253, the default 0.0.0.0 bind issue that left 30,000 instances exposed, and the ClawHub malware campaign from January in enough detail to actually be useful rather than just scary.
Not a hype piece. Not a hit piece. Just the guide I wish had existed when I set this up.
