I tried pretty hard to make my iPad Pro a development machine by installing a great ssh/mosh client, then setting up an EC2 instance in the cloud with my favorite terminal tools.

It was always "almost good enough" but the effort required outweighed the benefits. Any time I needed a new tool, I had to try to figure out if the tool was going to be resource-hungry enough to bring down my EC2 instance. This stopped the whole show multiple times.

I have mine connected to a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with 128GB of ram and NVME disks in a 'real' datacenter because overkill is probably the smart move when it comes to work machines...

Copy/Paste is my main problem working in blink. I mean, I use tmux, but it's a real pain copy/paste from blink->slack/teams/jira/whatever.

> Paste from iPad to blink works out of the box, but in opposite it depends. If we copy wrapped lines, usually they breaks. I don't mind apps with menus and interfaces (i.e. mc, tmux with window splits, editors, etc.)

> As for now, the perfect solution is to use OSC52 escape codes, these works well with ssh and recent mosh.

> In order to get clipboard setup working, we need recent software: tmux 3+, mosh 1.3+, vim 8+ or neovim 4.3+

I do similar https://Ghuntley.com/anywhere.

Blink (Mosh) + Tailscale + RDP for edge cases where Gitpod doesn’t fit (ie topics of GUI or needs to run batch compute processing)
