I bought a Mac mini m4 before openclaw to use as a music production machine, when it turned out not to work out I tried setting up openclaw on it after hearing all the noise, but that turned out not to work out either.

I’ve found a much better use for it now. I use it as a Tailscale + ssh + tmux + Claude code machine, which gives me an always on Claude code environment with persistent sessions. I ssh from my phone using termius and from my laptop through ssh, and I can even access my projects through Tailscale with hot reloading for the most part, no deploy needed. It’s really good and my mini isn’t idle at all.

That sounds like a complete waste tbh lol. Your mac mini m4 is now doing something any computer with 16GB of RAM can do

I just run claude code on my phone, in termux

Claude has Dispatch now, which should replace the tmux + CLI for you
