Just set up OpenCode as a persistent background service on a home server. The aha: OpenCode's web UI is fantastic. Runs in any browser, full TUI capabilities. So I set it up as a systemd service, accessible from anywhere via Tailscale. Now I can: - Start a long-running AI task from my phone while taking a walk - Close the browser, come back later—session persists - Attach from terminal (`opencode attach`) or browser, same session - Auto-restarts on crash, survives reboots Resource cost: ~330MB RAM idle. Basically free. The unlock: fire-and-forget AI tasks from anywhere. No need to keep a terminal open, no need to babysit. Works on any always-on Linux box—laptop, home server, $5 VPS. Wrote it up as a gist if anyone wants to replicate:

I'm bringing it back.
