Using VSCode for Remote Coding

Using VSCode for Remote Coding

Daily short news for you

  • For over a week now, I haven't posted anything, not because I have nothing to write about, but because I'm looking for ways to distribute more valuable content in this rapidly exploding AI era.

    As I shared earlier this year, the number of visitors to my blog is gradually declining. When I looked at the statistics, the number of users in the first six months of 2025 has dropped by 30% compared to the same period last year, and by 15% compared to the last six months of 2024. This indicates a reality that users are gradually leaving. What is the reason for this?

    I think the biggest reason is that user habits have changed. They primarily discover the blog through search engines, with Google being the largest. Almost half of the users return to the blog without going through the search step. This is a positive signal, but it's still not enough to increase the number of new users. Not to mention that now, Google has launched the AI Search Labs feature, which means AI displays summarized content when users search, further reducing the likelihood of users accessing the website. Interestingly, when Search Labs was introduced, English articles have taken over the rankings for the most accessed content.

    My articles are usually very long, sometimes reaching up to 2000 words. Writing such an article takes a lot of time. It's normal for many articles to go unread. I know and accept this because not everyone encounters the issues being discussed. For me, writing is a way to cultivate patience and thoughtfulness. Being able to help someone through my writing is a wonderful thing.

    Therefore, I am thinking of focusing on shorter and medium-length content to be able to write more. Long content will only be used when I want to write in detail or delve deeply into a particular topic. So, I am looking for ways to redesign the blog. Everyone, please stay tuned! 😄

  • CloudFlare has introduced the pay per crawl feature to charge for each time AI "crawls" data from your website. What does that mean 🤔?

    The purpose of SEO is to help search engines see the website. When users search for relevant content, your website appears in the search results. This is almost a win-win situation where Google helps more people discover your site, and in return, Google gets more users.

    Now, the game with AI Agents is different. AI Agents have to actively seek out information sources and conveniently "crawl" your data, then mix it up or do something with it that we can't even know. So this is almost a game that benefits only one side 🤔!?

    CloudFlare's move is to make AI Agents pay for each time they retrieve data from your website. If they don’t pay, then I won’t let them read my data. Something like that. Let’s wait a bit longer and see 🤓.

  • Continuing to update on the lawsuit between the Deno group and Oracle over the name JavaScript: It seems that Deno is at a disadvantage as the court has dismissed the Deno group's complaint. However, in August, they (Oracle) must be held accountable for each reason, acknowledging or denying the allegations presented by the Deno group in the lawsuit.

The Issue

There are times when you need to edit files directly on a server to participate in debugging or development. This process typically involves SSHing into the server, navigating to the project directory, using command-line editors like nano or vim to open files, and making edits. If you're a Vim enthusiast, you can turn it into a powerful text editor, but for others, Vim might be challenging to use.

In VSCode, there is an extension called Remote - Tunnels that allows you to directly open a project on a server while still utilizing all the features of VSCode. This means you can have syntax highlighting, code highlighting, and most of the extensions installed in your code editor. In today's article, let me guide you through the process.

Setup Steps

First, install the Remote - Remote - Tunnels.

Then click on the Remote button with two arrows in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Bước 1

Choose "Connect to Host" and then select "Add new SSH host" if you haven't added any configurations before.

Bước 2

An input box appears, requesting information to SSH into the server. For example, I log in as [email protected]:

Bước 3

Here, since I have set up SSH using an SSH key, VSCode automatically uses the key in my machine. If you don't have a key or log in with a password, you'll need to enter the password each time you "Connect to Host."

After entering the information, a new window will open to notify you that you have successfully connected to the server. Click on the "Open Folder" button to browse to your project folder, and then click "OK" to start writing code.

Buoc 4

In my opinion, besides coding, this method allows you to manage the files and folders created by the project during runtime. Additionally, you can commit directly from here, but be cautious as it may lead to unintended issues.
