I've had this need recently and noticed that tailscale is extremely useful between phone to mac transfers as well. I mean you can also technically use airdrop too, but that sometimes is unreliable for me.
Thank you for sharing! It's funny, yesterday I just built an iPhone Shortcut that allows me to dispatch async claude code tasks, i.e. fixing a bug just by saying "dispatch go" on my phone. Really cool to see other people working on stuff like this!
Yeah, that is a perfect use case for commuting, going for a walk in between meetings, etc. Same concept here.
But then the next annoying thing is the endless approval and safety nags. So there is a somewhat hacky skill I posted on my GH that is designed to trick the models into approving each other (use cautiously, it can go sideways fast in full computer use mode).
Ha, I know. The way I end up solving it is to give full permissions to the claude/codex session and just try to lockdown any external actor from reaching my systems, but there's still a risk of course. The tools I work on are internal enough that I don't lose too much sleep over it, but prompt injections still scare me.
my setup heavily involves using tailscale to secure everything, because a lot of the tools I have are internal and need to be protected at all costs. tailscale is so awesome! highly recommend to secure your networks
just certain dashboards that display my personal financial information, housing stuff, and some goals/trackers I have around projects I run.
I do work mainly on my desktop, but let's say I'm traveling right, I'd have to turn it off and was missing access to some pretty important information, so I ended up getting a VM and hosting some of those things on there instead. I still use both, but things I want available, I'll host it on my "homelab" and secure both machines via tailscale. it's pretty easy and it ensures that only my phone, my main mac, and my homelab have access to each other and nothing else.
LLMs have helped me a ton and have allowed me to replace all my apps that I was paying for. They're internal, so they don't have to be perfect, but man they've saved me money. That's just my experience.
Youtube music, GitKraken, 1password, Parallels -- i've canceled subscriptions to all of these because either I've replaced them or have had help from LLMs enough to find different options that are either free or cheaper.
well, I'm assuming you mean for this part I had said:
> had help from LLMs enough to find different options that are either free or cheaper.
as one example, I would have to do multiple google searches to build a secure network around a replacement tool I built for 1password, but the LLM was able to walk me through everything (even though I'd never had dedicated training around security). google searches are great for 1-off questions, but have the LLM walk you through something or have it do it for you.

I hope that isn't implying you're hosting a vibecoded password manager. Because that would be a horrible idea. If you selfhost a password manager, it's much better to use something that is reputable and tested against like Vaultwarden.
Even if you have it say, in a Tailnet that only your machines can get into, that just means someone has to compromise one of your machines.
Bitwarden is free and in my experience does a better job than 1 password. Tho he could have vibecoded his own 1-password, I would be a bit careful doing that though
yeah I agree, bitwarden is really good, but since I'm the only one who uses it I didn't need all the features of it and just vibecoded my own, though I made sure it was secure (I'm a software engineer so knew what to secure). definitely wouldn't recommend anyone do that though if they don't know what they're doing
I assume this person heard about keepass [0] and accesses it from multiple devices with a dropbox or icloud style service. Or doesn't access it from multiple devices. I just synchronize my password database on a slow cadence or as needed.
yeah it's not the best replacement, but basically what I did is setup a "YTBox" app that takes a youtube link, downloads it as mp3 or mp4, and then auto syncs it to my icloud drive, and then I just listen from my iPhone either using the music app or VLC/Files.
so yes I do have to make a curated list of what I want, but it saves me $17/mo. if you're okay with downloading, then it's worth it.
yes! I've had it even help me with looking and buying homes. I ended up catching things in a contract that would have screwed me over. there's so many use cases outside of software
