tmux divinity and random stuff

Oh man, I am loving the copy and paste in tmux! I should have figured this out years ago! I only figured it out a few days ago, and I made a note, but I think this deserves front page recognition. Except I’m not doing that either, I’m just going to link to that note here.

I’ll probably have to figure out the clipboard commands that it also supports because I will inevitably want to copy and paste from one session somewhere to another session somewhere else.

Tmux is usually the first thing I launch when I open a new terminal. Sometimes I connect to an existing session, sometimes I connect to a remote system and then launch or reattach there. My current home setup is to ssh into my PinePhone and attach to a session there. That’s where I have my messengers, email client, calendar, and a git clone of my notes repository.

See, I’m just like a regular person! I do all my communications and calendar stuff on my phone! Except I stopped taking the phone with me when I leave the house and it typically sits in a box with a battery bank that has pass-thru charging so that when the power goes out for an extended period of time it gets a few extra days before it powers off rather than a few hours. Within the last year I’ve lost power for over 24 hours.

I do all my serious non-work stuff there. I sshfs mount (it’s a fuse thing, I guess) that system to my desktop whenever there’s some graphical tool that I need and just drop the resulting files on my PinePhone.

I don’t know why others have been doing it, but I picked up a flip phone that I use for making phone calls and that I can carry with me. It also supports tethering and acting as a WiFi hot spot. I’ve used those features on a few occasions. In general, I don’t want to be in a state of staring at my phone for an extended period of time or otherwise engaging in reward seeking behaviors or inadvertently alienating myself from anyone in my surroundings.

Anyway, in conclusion, I really need to read more about the tools I use on a daily basis.
