Running a Home Mac mini as an Always-On Node for Remote AI Tasks
xiaohu · x · 2026-11-09
The author keeps a Mac mini at home connected to their laptop: some tasks run entirely on the mini, and they can chat in the terminal remotely from the laptop. Dev and other tasks sync in real time, so they can close the laptop and leave while some work keeps syncing.
Terminal sync uses Rex, with UU Remote for control; the mini also serves as a home hub.
