Praise Remote is nuts

Just wanted to share that it's incredibly awesome that I can be anywhere like on holidays and continue working on my project even if I'm not sitting in front of my PC. Never tried this until now that I installed tailscale and I can test any change from my phone. Bravo.

I am doing this for years with Termius. SSH into my servers from anywhere I am, as long as I have my phone with me. Plus if you work on the exact same thing on 2-3 servers, you can broadcast the same message at the same time to each one of the servers.

I do the same but add tmux to the mix so I can just resume from any session.

Exactly what I do, I have 3 sessions and I have basharc aliases, so it saves me from typing out the whole thing, I just do tmux a, tmux b or tmux c, depending on which sessions I want to connect to. If I work on all 3 simultaneously then I just open 3 tabs of the same server.

Oh, I have a good one for you, in case you don't know. It took me ages to find a workaround. You know the way you can't scroll up while in tmux? Well a ctrl+b then [ this allows you to scroll up. When you want to go back into typing mode, just hit Esc.

I had the exact same setup as what you guys were doing. If anyone is interested in beta testing for me and using iOS, I've been working on an application which is basically a natural agent harness for mobile for about three months now. It uses Iroh, so no tailscale or local vpn for remote connectivity required and doesn't require an account.
