All I can say is THANK YOU!!! I use mosh 10+ hours a day. Maybe it needs a bit of help, but it is in my top 10 of "how did I accomplish anything with out mosh.
It looks like there's no sponsorship for Mosh. Had this been considered?
Not saying money would solve the challenges the maintainer faces but there might be things it eases. With a tool this popular I expect it wouldn't struggle to raise a fair bit.
I don't think it's been considered. To be honest, sometimes adding money to a development projects makes things worse. It can sometimes introduce new unwanted obligations that weren't there previously.
It is a VERY useful tool that I have used every day for at least 3 years.
There are two really annoying niggles that I have with it, but both I have solved by using a Screen session on the server:
- Scrolling turns out to be very important to most workflows.
The choice to start mosh in Append mode (with chance of output corruption) rather than replace mode would be a cool thing.
- There is no easy way to pick up a session again when the client dies. I understand that this is an intended security "feature" though.
But beyond this it is a truly fabulous tool that has saved me many many hours of frustration.
Thank you, this is better, but if I cat a 1000 line file I can only scroll up about 150 lines, I think this has something to do with the speed of the output(?); how does this work under the hood?
Such an indispensable tool! I’m running mosh+tmux 24/7 on my remote desktop and every day just open my laptop, connect to VPN and continue where I left off the previous day
Thank you for creating a fantastically useful tool. I use it every day, it works very well, and I'd be happy to contribute to your Github sponsors account.
