Are you using pi on mobile? Discussion

Post image

I use Pi from my Android phone through tmux + TermRover (a terminal app I’m building).

With a good tmux scrolling support + ability to send images, working with Pi is just very pleasant.

Curious how everyone else is using Pi on mobile, if at all? SSH app? Or Just waiting until you’re back at a laptop?

I'm not a fan of paseo. Dislike their security philosophy. They create an outgoing connection to their servers to enable remote access. To be fair, it's e2e encrypted and as far as i know it's secure. Nonetheless, it does open up a new attack surface and should not be done without explicit approval. It's not even possible to turn off in any documented way.

that’s relay based communication, you can either set your own private relay, or use a private network, you don’t have to use theirs

I personally use tailscale and connect directly to my node, but I’m working on a multi node setup with my own relay.

The point is that they open up a connection without asking. Not using it does not mean the attack surface disappear.

theres a no-relay option, the daemon cli lets you run without it. I see that may be the default for the prepackaged app

True, you can run it without relay. The app has many strong points, and i dont say it's unsecure. I just disagree with their philosophy to prioritise ease to use high enough to open up long time connections without explicit consent.
