@FeitengLi: Here's how I use it: 1. Mac Mini is not carried around—it stays at home in the living room with Tailscale enabled.

Here’s how I use it:

1. I don’t carry the Mac Mini with me — it stays in the living room at home with Tailscale running. When I’m out, I use macOS’s built-in screen sharing and connect directly via the Tailscale IP.

2. On the Mac Mini, I use tmux -CC to create windows that can be resumed anytime. The MacBook Air I have nearby only serves as a remote display — all vibe coding is done on the Mac Mini.

I only vibe on the Mac Mini — a fixed environment reduces switching costs. It never shuts down or changes environment. I set things up before bed and check progress anytime the next day.
