I ran it for a couple of days in a VM in my Proxmox cluster. It was cute, but so amazingly insecure (systemd + sudo + installing whatever it wanted, plus requiring Telegram for access - or another SIM card for Signal) that I just gave up and started building my own thing (https://github.com/rcarmo/vibes) so I could have a mobile experience I could trust over Tailscale and sandbox copilot CLI (or any ACP-compliant agent) in a container (I've also been working on https://github.com/rcarmo/webterm and https://github.com/rcarmo/agentbox, so I am 300% positive I can do better sandboxing and safer integrations...)

It also BURNS through tokens like mad, because it has essentially no restrictions or guardrails and will actually implement baroque little scripts to do whatever you ask without any real care as to the consequences.. I can do a lot more with just gpt-5-mini or mistral for much less money.

The only "good" think about it is the Reddit-like skills library that is growing insanely. But then there's stuff like https://clawmatch.ai that is just... (sigh)

GPT-5.2 in a while loop with reasoning enabled is extremely hard to beat. A code REPL or shell is the ultimate tool.

what's with this tailscale thing everybody is talking about like it being a cure to cancer.

what's wrong with good old wg alone?

    It has excellent built-in NAT traversal (almost always peer to peer via hole punching etc., with relay nodes only when everything else fails) and a point-and-click management plane (but also powerful ACLs if you need them).

    The former is mainly what I use it for. Being able to SSH to a Raspberry Pi behind sketchy triple-NATted hotel Wi-Fi or being able to use an Android phone in a different country as an "exit node" for online banking (many banks hate commercial VPNs) is very neat.

    I have machines on 3 cloud providers and 2 sites that talk to each other via it, plus a seamless mobile experience. It sets everything up for you, zero hassles.
