When using VSCode over SSH the auto port forwarding is just so so so much good magic.

\n\n

If something in your terminal looks like it’s serving something on your remote host, VSCode automatically creates a tunnel for you over the ssh connection and forwards the remote port to local!

@bsag yes 3d printed case. The 3d models are for sale on a Japanese site, happy to link you if you want. It’s been really useful, I’ve got it tilting away from me now and am finding that the most comfortable position so far.

Not using productively yet but getting close. I took the opportunity to learn a new key layout ‘anishtro3’ which is feeling really good when it flows. I’ve rigged up my layers based on the ‘Miryoku’ layout, that seems to make heaps of sense. So getting there!
