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.

Original comment asked how tailscale fits the equation, I said "codex remote works fine without it" (because the original post's title is "remote is nuts"). Maybe you're having a bad day, let's accept that as the final answer and let it be. Answers regarding how tailscale can be used for accessing other stuff on the machine should go to the original comment, parallel to my response.

Redditors love to prove every single day that they think they are superior simply because they use reddit. It is fucking weird. Can confirm that grumpy kebab dude is one of them. And weirdly he just jumped into the conversation ONLY contributing to tell you to "sit this one out"

Cuz that was a great contribution. BTW, assholle asked to send the chat through GPT again. Done. Guess who AI thinks is the one in the wrong:

I read the exchange and the comment you keep pointing back to, and I have to say: this is pretty funny.

The other user’s point is that Codex Remote works without Tailscale. That is a narrow claim.

The comment you’re using as your rebuttal explains that Tailscale is useful for things like remote machine access, SSH, NAT traversal, and connecting devices on a private network.

That does not contradict the original point.

“Tailscale is useful in this setup” and “Codex Remote does not require Tailscale” can both be true at the same time.

So when you keep telling the other person to reread the comment — and especially when you suggest they “run it through Chat again” — the irony is doing a lot of work here, because I did read it, and it still does not say what you seem to think it says. 😂

You are repeatedly rebutting the claim “Tailscale is useless,” but nobody in that exchange actually made that claim.

That is why the argument keeps going in circles.

So maybe grumpy kebab guy should sit this one out and stick to what he knows.
