Claude Code's cloud sessions or your own machine: which to use when
What Claude Code's cloud sessions do well, where they stop, and when a Linux machine of your own fits better, checked against Anthropic's docs.
Three ways to code from your phone, and what each costs
A home computer over Tailscale, an always-on VM with mosh and tmux, or an hourly VM that sleeps: what each needs, how it copes with lost signal, and the cost.
What a coding agent's computer costs, compared hour for hour
A 4 vCPU, 8 GB agent machine priced across sandboxes, devboxes, VPSes and shedix as of 2026-11-02, with idle rules, what survives a stop, and caps.
Home server, VPS or cloud VM: where to keep your coding agent
A computer at home, a monthly VPS or an hourly cloud VM for your coding agent: the cost at 4 hours a day, 8 hours a day and always on, and what can break.
tmux for coding agents: the commands that matter
The tmux commands that keep agent work on a remote machine safe to repeat, from guarded starts and logs to port waits, reading panes and reboots.
VS Code on a remote machine: Remote-SSH, code-server or a terminal
Three ways to edit code on a remote machine, what each one installs and where its extensions run, and which keeps your laptop out of an agent's reach.
Why every shedix machine is a whole VM, not a pod
Why shedix gives each machine its own VM instead of a container on a shared cluster, what that gives an agent, and what it costs in boot time and density.
Why our machines take 80 seconds to boot, and where the time goes
A new shedix machine takes one to two minutes to be ready. What we timed on Compute Engine, what a prebuilt image fixed, and what would cut it further.
What an always-on agent machine costs
What an agent machine costs by the hour and month at shedix's prices, what leaving it on adds up to, and how auto-sleep, stopping and deleting change it.
Keep Claude Code running after you close your laptop
Why a laptop agent stops when the lid closes or the Wi-Fi drops, and how to keep Claude Code working on a remote machine inside tmux.
Preview a dev server running on a remote machine
Open a dev server that runs on a remote machine through a private SSH tunnel or a public link, and get past the Vite host check that blocks tunnels.
