After rebuilding my MCP system from scratch, I now have a GPU-powered workstation accessible from the kitchen table thanks to Nomachine, turning everyday downtime into development time.
After recovering from a full system crash, I reinstalled everything from the ground up. I used this as a chance to clean house—fresh Ubuntu 24.04, streamlined tool folders, and a better remote workflow. I can now control my GPU workstation from the kitchen using Nomachine, which lets me work on Blender scenes or test code from my MacBook or iPad.
I tried Sunshine and Moonlight first, but ran into compatibility problems with macOS 12 and inconsistent behavior from other third-party tools. Nomachine solved that immediately—it offers a full remote desktop, hardware acceleration, and file sharing. Latency is low enough to sculpt in Blender with my iPad + Apple Pencil.
I installed the Nomachine server on Ubuntu and connected via the app from macOS and iOS. I set up a static LAN IP and opened port 4000. The connection was smooth, and now my devices all tie into the same 3D printing and animation workstation.
# Ubuntu 24.04 fresh install
# NVIDIA drivers (535) reinstalled
# Ollama, Whisper, A1111, Tortoise TTS, SadTalker restored
# Nomachine server + clients configured
# aryncore-mcp/scripts/250705start.sh updated
My Netlify build was failing due to a broken submodule path:
fatal: No url found for submodule path 'ArynCore/docker/stable-diffusion/stable-diffusion-v1'I removed the faulty submodule, cleaned the repo, and committed the change:
git rm -f ArynCore/docker/stable-diffusion/stable-diffusion-v1
rm -rf .git/modules/ArynCore/docker/stable-diffusion/stable-diffusion-v1
git commit -am "Remove broken submodule"
git push origin main
GitHub moved my repository to a capitalized path. I updated the remote to prevent future warnings:
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/SkyeVault/Main.gitThen confirmed it:
git remote -v
origin https://github.com/SkyeVault/Main.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/SkyeVault/Main.git (push)
With my system restored and Nomachine in place, I’m now operating the MCP and Blender workflows from the kitchen table—an unassuming but powerful evolution in my day-to-day development rhythm.
