this is literally my setup and it is a game-changer:
tailscale, tmux, codex/claude code, mosh, blink shell (iOS) https://blink.sh/

#92Please mask your identifiers, unless they are already spoofed. You potentially give out a lot of your info to bad actors. Other than that, love it :)
Thanks! I did not sppof! I thought that since it was my local Tailnet, only devices on that net could connect. I just rebuilt the network as a precaution.
Most of the time it's probably fine, but we should assume we don't know about all the attack vectors bad actors might use, so better safe than sorry.
I forgot to say that I _absolutely loved_ the photos!

#93> A Claude Pro subscription "Doom Slopping" might be more fitting.
Exactly

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
How do I use a laptop while standing on a train each day? It sounds like a laptop is sufficient for you, but I suspect (based on myself and other responses in this thread) that a laptop is not always viable for many people; this tutorial appears targeted toward those people. I’ve actually considered a neck/shoulder support for a laptop in the past but decided against it because it’d be cumbersome and make me a theft…
dont try to code while standing on a train. one of many antpatterns a wise engineer should learn to avoid, as part of polishing our craft. also: dont juggle chainsaws, etc ;-)
but also dont try coding on a laptop. use a proper desktop, or better yet, get time on a mainframe. the problem has been solved forever, juat do work from the workplace at a dedicated terminal, built for doing that work at.

#95Number 1 on the front page of Hacker News for explaining how to connect to a remote machine via ssh.
I too am dumfounded by this. Is it an off day? Have all the people that actually know how to do things with computers gone somewhere else? What is going on here?

#96So this is the 4th+ article I've seen on using a VPN to vibe code on your phone. Would an email interface to Claude code work better? - Email Claude to start the coding - Claude emails you with any thing it needs acked on. - you reply back to emails telling it what to do. - maybe Claude can run your program and send back screen shots. seems easier then getting a vpn working. What is the downside to using email?
> seems easier then getting a vpn working
it could not possibly be easier to get Tailscale up and running on your mac or linux machine, install tmux and mosh on your mac or linux machine, connect to it with Blink Shell https://blink.sh/ on your iOS device that you've also installed tailscale to, and start vibe-coding from anywhere, on a performant, resilient, instantly resumable terminal connection.
seriously, it's a game-changer

#97So, we've spent ages, blood, and tears building better UIs than text, and now with AI everyone is suddenly expected to type instructions on the phone? Yes, I realize this is hard to avoid for coding in particular, but generally I'm tired of typing text on my phone. And no, I don't want to talk to it either.

#98We need to take this idea further. Instead of "remote first", I'm waiting for the first company that will bodly declare "you can do all your work on your phone". I'm tired of lugging my laptop around. Let me work from the beach with my phone and ar glasses.
Please hire me when you make this happen! The tinkering started because I wanted to go outside to code but sitting with your laptop in the park is too strange.
I've used this for a decade and still use it. Easy compatibility with tmux, can ssh, use llm, etc.

#99If you're on Android and can download QPython, it works just fine and has for years. This seems way overcomplicated, it depends on a remote computer that's on 24/7? Ick.
Also, if your Android phone is a Pixel, you can run the recently added Terminal app, which runs a plain vanilla Debian distribution within a VM. So you then have a pocketable Linux machine to develop code on. Not only does Python run on it, you can install the entire Anaconda Python suite.

Why not use a browser? OpenCode has a webUI, you can simply host that on your machine at home and VPN to it. https://opencode.ai/docs/server/ (sadly no screenshots, but its a pretty good GUI, looks like their desktop app)
You need tmux to be able to resume the same session from anywhere, mosh-server to make ssh resilient to sketchy mobile connections, and blink shell https://blink.sh/ to have a high quality iOS shell with a mosh and ssh client built right in to resume at any time.
Far more resilient and performant than a web client.
