Thank you Tom and Jay for this great podcast. I learned a lot.

As a trucker, most of my HomeLab administration is done remotely via ssh and the command line. I've been using screen when running scripts, but I'm going to give mosh and tmux a try.

[adamcadd]

screen is one of my favourite tools to run a continuous session

[JPEaglesandKatz]

jed is a pretty nice easy to use menu driven alternative to nano or vim

[willbaker]

Jay is a bit lower volume then Tom Is this a easy fix to balance ? using as MP3 during commute

[attainconsult]

nload and mtr (my traceroute) for network mon testing

WHAT!?
“10 Gb network has TROUBLE with single streams”.

Nope! The REAL reason is the TCP Window size (and a couple other TCP factors) is not big enough!

You can ABSOLUTELY run a SINGLE STREAM on a 10 Gb network, at FULL speed, IF you know what you are doing!
