Here's a related issue that took me a whole day to figure out why Claude Code telemetry pings were causing a total network failure when using CC with a local LLM via llama-server.

I wanted to use local LLMs (~30B) on my M1 Macbook Pro Max, with Claude Code for a privacy-sensitive project. I spun up Qwen3-30B-A3B via llama-server and hooked it up to Claude Code, and after using it for an hour or so, found that my network connectivity got totally borked: browser not loading any web-pages at all.

Some investigation showed that Claude Code assumes it's talking to the Anthropic API and sends event logging requests (/api/event_logging/batch) to the llama-server endpoint. The local server doesn't implement that route and returns 404s, but Claude Code retries aggressively. These failed requests pile up as TCP connections in TIME_WAIT state, and on macOS this can exhaust the ephemeral port range. So my browser stopped loading pages, my CLI tools couldn't reach the internet, and the only option was to reboot my macbook.

After some more digging (with Claude Code's help of course) I found that the fix was to add this setting in my ~/.claude/settings.json

    {
    // ... other settings ...
     "env": {
        "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC": "1"
     }
    // ... other settings ...
    
   }

I added this to my local-LLM + Claude Code/ Codex-CLI guide here:

https://github.com/pchalasani/claude-code-tools/blob/main/do...

I don't know if others faced this issue; hopefully this is helpful, or maybe there are other fixes I'm not aware of.

Thank you for this writeup - we hit the same issue and effectively were getting DDOSed by Claude Code.

The more posts I read that are about people hating Tim, the more I like the guy. He found a way to market himself so efficiently, he can live off posts like these for many years to come - which I find fair because haters are often toxic and make claims that are hard to prove.

The author wanted to use Tim to hang out with cool people at the conference - it backfired and she was hurt, implying that Tim tricked her. Did he? We'll never know. When I read that first one, I saw where this was going...

Also, the way the post ends - that's a really nasty comment about a person. The author outright says that Tim is not a kind person and not a good person.

It seems to me that the author is not either of those things if judging purely on this one blog post. Why so much hate? This seems like a personal attack wrapped in some kind of a productivity blog post.

Why would you judge a person based purely on what other people say about them, and not on your own interactions with them?

In a text editor....

If they'd wanted you to do that, they would have named the files something like "CMakeLists.txt".

I know many like this sort of article, but I lost interest at "Henry Adams, one of the most important thinkers in the 19th century", because it promises that the article will blather on with philosophical arguments for a long time before actually revealing its point (and thus before showing whether it is worth to spend any time on it).

rhencke · 5 years ago

Except.. it didn't blather on at all, and got right to the point.

I don't know where I got so misinformed. I thought Deno had stopped going for a TS runtime.

rhencke · 5 years ago

Unfortunately, the words "Deno", "TypeScript", and "removal" made for good headline material, and what was effectively a design document about performance optimization[1] became misinterpreted by many as heralding the removal of TypeScript from Deno, despite the document being updated with a explanatory warning that it was a very deep technical document about a specific part of architecture, and that Deno remains completely committed to supporting TypeScript forever.

So Deno is still committing to TS runtime?

I would say no. I think they should go public domain, as that's the future.

One of the funniest/best business models out there is SQlite (https://sqlite.org/copyright.html). They give it away to the public domain, but some lawyers wrongly claim that that is not enough, so they will "sell" you a warranty asserting it is all public domain.

rhencke · 5 years ago

Those lawyers are correct.

Not all jurisdictions of the world legally recognize the concept of 'public domain'.

FUSER.

It's basically easy-mode music mixing/DJing with live cooperative multiplayer.

Seem like the average person to me :)

Have you ever sat down and had a long, and deep conversation with someone suffering from severe paranoid schizophrenia after they've experienced a psychotic break?

I assure you, you will quickly understand the difference.

Especially if that someone is your previously un-diagnosed friend and business partner.

You weren't a part of this interaction. You're going with the "How can you tell if someone is vegan? ..they'll tell you" joke

rhencke · 5 years ago

Do you not find yourself to be naturally persuaded by your friends through your time and experiences with them?
