Is Eternal Terminal good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Multiple Security Issues in GNU Screen

  Along the lines of Mosh, I've migrated from it to Eternal Terminal (ET): https://eternalterminal.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Developer wrote 25k lines of Neovim plugin code using phone and touchscreen

  You can try eternal terminal: https://eternalterminal.dev/ I don't remember it doing any sort of prediction but the last time I used it was a while back. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Developer wrote 25k lines of Neovim plugin code using phone and touchscreen

  Mosh was suggested in another comment, but I’ve found that et (https://eternalterminal.dev/) suits my needs better. It does nothing to fix lag, but connection failures are handled without a hitch, same session resumes like normal on spotty train wifi and mobile data. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Command Line Tools I Like (2022)

  Eternal Terminal when we worked from an office where our connection would drop regularly was a life saver. It's like Mosh but less opinionated and doesn't interfere with scrollback. https://eternalterminal.dev/ Goes without saying, but for anyone who doesn't know about it, jq is life changing, was kind of surprised not to see it. https://jqlang.github.io/jq/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Autossh – automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels

  I’d recommend https://eternalterminal.dev/, compared to mosh(poor colors support), this is the only thing that manages to consistently keep up my ssh sessions. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Closing a Stale SSH Connection

  Et survives reboots and IP roaming, pretty much anything: https://eternalterminal.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)

  I used Mosh for a long time, but I've switched to Eternal Terminal (https://eternalterminal.dev) because of its excellent native scrolling support. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Any recommendations for operating system authentication libraries?

  Today, my project uses SSH to authenticate with a remote machine, start up the server, and report back the address, port, and key that are used for encrypted communication with my server. This mirrors how mosh and eternal terminal work. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Mosh: An Interactive Remote Shell for Mobile Clients (2012) [pdf]

  Used to like mosh but have since switched over to Eternal Terminal[1] and will never go back. The scrollback alone is awesome. [1]: https://eternalterminal.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Mosh 1.4.0 Released

  I would also like to give a shoot out for Eternal Terminal: https://eternalterminal.dev/ It's a similar project that keeps SSH connections alike. Unlike Mosh, it doesn't reduce remote lag, but on the plus side, it doesn't break the history buffer and works nicely with tmux control mode. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Steam Deck/Learning Linux has been a great complement to learning Programming

  Also if you connect to remote machines a lot, ssh alternatives like mosh or eternal terminal can be great. Though I don't believe those are on the Steam Deck by default so you might have to resort to something like distrobox or Nix to install packages outside of the default SteamOS options in a way that plays nice with the immutable filesystem.

• Is there a way to easily and reliably SSH to my laptop no matter what wifi the laptop is connected to? I have no clue.

  I use eternalterminal.dev at work, and it has out of the box tmux integration. I walk and bike around a lot with my laptop during the workday, and it automatically reconnects and attaches to tmux as soon as my connection/VPN is back. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Free Tech Tools and Resources - Ubuntu Maintenance, Documentation Help, Auto-Reconnecting Shell & More

  Eternal Terminal is a remote shell that inserts a layer between your application and the unix TCP sockets in order to automatically reconnect after TCP disconnects, without interrupting the session. Suggested by the_one_jt, who adds, "With Eternal Terminal, you won’t need to manually reconnect, even if an IP address changes.". Source: about 3 years ago

• Searching for a ssh program that syncs the clients

  Https://eternalterminal.dev/ is better than mosh. Can even tunnel VNC, NFS and pretty much anything over it. Source: about 3 years ago

  There are more responsive alternatives to ssh, like mosh https://mosh.org/ (discussed recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28150287) And uhm..

  Https://eternalterminal.dev is the better mosh and lets you do that. Source: about 4 years ago
