The problem wasn't the autosave, the problem was that there was a lock
file created on the remote.
So this in my emacs now works on emacs 29:
;; Avoid doing autosaves when modifying remote files
(setq remote-file-name-inhibit-locks t)
;(setq remote-file-name-inhibit-auto-save-visited t)
(setq auto-save-visited-predicate (lambda () (not (file-remote-p buffer-file-name))))
The reason I use auto-save-visited-predicate is that I still use emacs
28 some places, and remote-file-name-inhibit-auto-save-visited only came
with emacs 29.
When I am on emacs 29 (or later) everywhere I will replace using
auto-save-visited-predicate with remote-file-name-inhibit-auto-save-visited
