First usefull tool i vibed

At work servers are cattle and dont have names, but for personal use, they do have names. They are not nameless but i’m not really attached to them either. I set them up, for a thing i want to host or test, and maybe the live for a week maybe for a decade, it depends.

So like a good sysadmin, first thing i do when i spin up a ubuntu server (yes i’m too lazy to learn more fancy server distros) is to secure it. Now most of those tools send mails to the local mail system which i will never ever read. But i do have matrix server i use for chats at with my hermes ai, and my wife. Its nice to have a server where i can keep long chats in separate rooms and find them back later.

Anyway, i had my agent (i use OMP.sh mostly combined with the skills from Matt Pocock) build a sendmail compatible matrix client, https://github.com/crooy/send-matrix-mail.

Simply put, i install this with a config containing a bot account to my matrix server and i get all the mails that will never be read otherwise in a channel that i can see.

First thing i build in a couple of hours, that was done pretty quickly, that i am now really running and that i think is really a done full product. I have a dozen unfinished things but this is really nice. I started with openrouter/auto-beta which delegated to deepseek v4 pro and GLM 5.2 which are great but i did see costs rising fast, so i switched to deepseek v4 flash. Total costs just shy of 9 dollars, but if i prevented deepseek v4 pro it would have been less probably.

I guess this linux mindset of making small tools that do 1 thing well also works really well with agents.
