I've known about this for a while, but have only just noticed a new (to me, at least) feature: Remote Tunnels
Docs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels
This is super useful for me - this would let me easily connect back to my desktop PC at home while I'm away or connected to other networks.
- OptoContrarian 3y agoI use tunnels to access my entire dev environment within my Quest Pro.
- yaysyu 3y agoHow often and for how long do you code like this? What has your experience been like? I always find the idea of coding in VR intriguing but am unsure of what the actual experience would be like.
- cubefox 3y agoDoes developing like this for an extended period of time actually work?
- cgijoe 3y agoIf you don't mind my asking, I am honestly curious about this. Is the QPro high enough resolution to do actual dev work inside it?
- nickstinemates 3y agoNot for me, and I am sad about it. I wish it was.
- MuffinFlavored 3y agoWhat would the benefit of that be?
- nickstinemates 3y agoThe idea of this[1] working for me led me down a rabbit hole of all of the VR appliances in an effort to make it work. For me, getting into the flow of programming is as much about the environment as it is anything else. Scenery, keyboard, mouse, desktop environment, form factor, etc. I am peculiar about all of it depending on context (collab space vs. in transit vs. coffee shop vs. at home hacking) To have a device where I could be literally floating in space with all of the context surrounding me sounded like nirvana. Until you actually try it and the world is blurry, resolution is shitty, fonts look like garbage, etc. I've settled for a very large ultra wide monitor - 5120x1440@240hz resolution which takes up ~3 screens worth of horizontal space without the bevel. If I could get one twice as tall pixel and physical dimension wise I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I want so bad for it to work, but it doesn't. 1: https://medium.com/immersedteam/working-from-orbit-39bf95a6d385 https://medium.com/immersedteam/working-from-orbit-39bf95a6d...
- cubefox 3y agoHow likely do you think it is that it works with the Apple Vision?
- nickstinemates 3y agoI've become disillusioned at the prospect, will try again when there's significant breakthroughs.

- zmmmmm 3y agoto clarify - are you saying you use the Quest browser to connect to the vscode.dev environment? Or do you use an app like Immersed with a desktop browser? Just curious if the Quest browser is powerful enough for it and works well enough.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoI use NordVPN meshnet tunnels to connect to everything. Even when VPN is blocked by DPI, meshnet tends to stay on.
- watermelon0 3y ago> For instance, right now you can have 5 tunnels registered for your account. If you'd like to create a new tunnel and already have 5 others registered, the CLI will pick a random unused tunnel and delete it. Please note this limit is subject to change. I have a feeling that this limit used to be 10 tunnels/user, did they decrease it?
- santiagobasulto 3y agoWhat'd be the difference with the Remote-SSH option?
- hfkwer 3y agoYou need an SSH server running and the remote machine to be accessible (through NAT, firewall) to connect there with SSH. With tunnels, it's inverted: the remote machine needs to be able to connect to the central server, which is typically much easier; then you can connect to it.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoSeems like you also must have a github account to use that.
- santiagobasulto 3y agoThanks, this makes sense. I think I still prefer the SSH option, but I have to give Tunnels a try.
- r3dp0w3r 3y agoI love Remote Tunnel and the Remote SSH feature. Super useful for developing on Linux on Raspberry Pi or a cloud VM when experiment with different Linux distros.
- ethanppl 3y agoPort forwarding is also very useful: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh It allows me to rent a cheap cloud machine, build and test code there instead of upgrading my laptop.
