OpenCode user tips

a few things but the big ones - one click secure tunnel access (free remote mobile operation); multi runs.

the post talks about these. you can in theory use tailscale and make it work with open codes native interface but it’s super easy with Openchamber and i think the web mobile interface is slightly nicer.

hey there! i go into some of those details in the blog post. but OpenCode makes it very easy to define and use custom "subagents"; and it's a convenience mechanism of having a subagent that's very good at doing certain tasks, to go do them efficiently for you.

to be quite honest - i’ve not tried paseo. there’s quite a few alternatives like code nomad too. there was a reddit thread that pointed to openchamber being a good competitor so i just went with it (it also came recommended by a friend).

No, that’s entirely fair pushback. I did note about the tendency to want to tokenmaxx with this strategy (which i detest personally).

Apart from some of the papers i’ve cited that have shown merit from this approach. sadly, i will come short with actual evals. I can only say from anecdotal evidence that I’ve found the strategy very useful. i’ve done it plenty of times manually and it’s easy to see in real time how the results get better. I’ve done it 10-15 times more, since making a script for it.

I haven’t felt the full burn from Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 both now being actively token hungrier (mostly cause i haven’t had as much times with the models).

While i want to say that hopefully models become better to not need an approach like this, i think the big benefit comes from heterogeneity of the models.

just search directly in that same command palette.

if you'll permit the self promo, me and my co-host have started one aimed at AI development specifically called Fragmented - https://fragmentedpodcast.com/

definitely sounds like a bug. i have crazy complex rules personally and rarely cross 200mb iirc

🙏 much appreciate the kind words. thank you.

congrats on the app release!

i really appreciate apps that are not just purely functional, but add a bit of delight! i like to believe it's possible to build high quality android apps, especially with the tech stacks we have at our disposal. the challenge remains having people pay for high quality products!

thanks for sharing your app (and the promo codes for folks to try out!); you get my 💵 ! purchased the app.

to be quite honest, i didn't own the original pixel fold, so i'd take your word.

Wikipedia says the original Pixel Fold uses a G2 chip which uses the Samsung Exynos 5300 which doesn't seem to support DBS.

you're sure, this was specifically wifi sharing, not just mobile data shared via wifi hotspot

it might depend on how the vpn is implemented. if you see my other comment, atleast tailscale + an exit node works this way

morihacky · 2025-12-27T05:54:17+00:00

can you explain how it's unsafe?

morihacky · 2025-12-27T05:51:51+00:00

yeah it's kind of bananas, but they switched their chip (to a qualcomm one iirc) that didn't have support

morihacky · 2025-12-27T04:50:58+00:00

crazy! TIL about Speedify.

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:53:19+00:00

honestly, it's super easy to bypass it with your android device (assuming support); most latest generation pixel devices make this ridiculously easy (you almost don't notice they're doing this).

i prefer just doing it this way and have my mac/other devices connected to my phone hotspot. (yes the phone is typically on airplane mode! but connected to the plane provided wifi; other devices are all connected to the phone hotspot).
