I reverse-engineered the three biggest agent-memory tools

I spent weeks reading about how Cognee, Graphiti, and Neo4j's `agent-memory` build their agent memory architectures. They converged on the same heavy knowledge-graph design: an ontology, LLM extraction pipelines, deduplication, the works.I really wanted to use them for my personal use case, but that looks like such a heavy setup that adds a lot of friction and silos. Plus, it feels like I just get my data trapped in their service, for not a ton of value.That's why my "long-term me

As much as I do adore FreeBSD being my daily driver, I don’t think I can continue to use it due to several pieces of software not working correctly (even if recompiled for FreeBSD). I do like my computer actually working, at the end of the day. I am going to switch back to some Linux variant, undecided what exactly yet. Probably a Ubuntu descendant (which I know is a controversial choice in the Linux community, but it is a choice with strong driver support and extensive software compatibil

Show HN: CodeAlmanac – Self-updating wiki for your coding agent (local, Apache)

Hello good people of HN,This is Rohan from Almanac (YC S26).Today I want to share CodeAlmanac. It is a self-updating wiki for your coding agent. It lives in your repo as Markdown files and updates from your conversations with your agent. It’s open-source, local, and free.How it works1. Install the CLI and pick your agent (it uses your CC or Codex sub)2. It scans your codebase and generates an initial wiki.3. A background job reads your agent conversations every few hours and updates the wiki4. Y
