I currently have Hermes set up on a desktop with 1 3090, I have another desktop that has 2 3090s. they are on the same network. whats the best way to have Hermes have control of both using only 1 telegram instance?

the simplest way is:
run exactly one Hermes gateway / Telegram bot on one machine, and give that Hermes instance SSH access to the other machine
that gives you one Telegram interface, while the agent can still operate on both boxes:
- local commands on the machine where Hermes is running
- remote commands on the second machine via
ssh
if your goal is “one brain, one Telegram bot, access to both desktops,” I would not run two separate Telegram bots for that
the only caveat is that Hermes has one configured terminal backend at a time
so the practical pattern is usually:
- keep Hermes on your primary desktop
- use the normal local backend there
- set up passwordless SSH to the second desktop
- let Hermes hop over SSH when it needs the dual-3090 box
if you want a cleaner fully-remote setup, you can also make the terminal backend itself ssh and point Hermes at the stronger box, but then the first machine is no longer the default execution environment
so:
for one Telegram instance controlling both, the best fit is probably one Hermes install + SSH reachability to the second machine
