This!
I'm currently in a hotel room using a cheap laptop (5-year old Lenovo 330) to connect remotely to my fast workstation (home-built Ryzen, lots of memory, lots of storage and LTO6 tape for backups). There's almost 1000mi between them but that's not stopping me doing anything I require. If someone steals the laptop, no big deal, buy another one. All I do is sign and and connect to remote stuff, pretty much nothing of value is stored locally.

- omitmyname 5y agohow do you connect to your pc? Through visual code plugin or something?
- Moru 5y agoNot GP but there are a number of remote control software. I'm using Anydesk on windows between laptop and desktop. SSH everywhere else.
- pimeys 5y agoTailscale and SSH work great here. I have a ryzen desktop in the office and all ports open in the VPN network, so it is easy to use whatever remote software is needed. I personally just use vim over ssh.
