autossh →
autossh is a program to start a copy of ssh and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. autossh is super handy if you do the irc-in-a-screen session thing, or maintain screen/tmux sessions on work servers that you connect to from, say, a laptop over wifi. Like I do. My current incantation looks like this: autossh -M 31337 -t 'screen -rd 1234 # session...

Fascinating debate where one guy argues Obama is complicit in making regressive policies a reality and the other that he’s as progressive as America can expect to get in office. Not the sort of argument you tend to hear out of America.
