Mosh VS glances

If you haven’t already, and I know this doesn’t hold up for GUI emacs or vim, but consider running them through https://mosh.org/

FWIW, I wouldn't try to parse escape sequences "directly" from the input bytestream -- it's easy to end up with annoying bugs. Longer-term it's probably better to separate the logic e.g.:

- First step (for a UTF-8-input terminal emulator) means "lexing" the input bytestream as UTF-8 into a stream of USVs, which involves some subtleties (https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/blob/master/src/termina...).

- Second step is to run the DEC parser/FSM logic on the sequence of USVs, which is independent of the escape sequences (https://vt100.net/emu/dec_ansi_parser ; https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/blob/master/src/termina...).

- And then the third step is for the terminal to execute the "dispatch"/"execute"/etc. actions coming from the FSM, which is where the escape sequences and control chars get implemented (https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/blob/master/src/termina...).

Without this separation, it's easier to end up with bugs where, e.g., a UTF-8 sequence or an ANSI escape sequence is treated differently when it's split between multiple read() calls vs. all in one call.

Btw, you can use mosh to hide the latency of SSH. https://mosh.org/

I've been using Kitty's SSH features for as long as I can remember but I recently setup Mosh and I really like how it doesn't drop connections and supports roaming.

I am surprised many people write about ssh into a server. Mosh[1] feels more responsive and it also supports longer sessions.

Also they support Mosh which I install on my servers. It's way better than plain ssh when you're on mobile networks and wifi, especially with connections that are unreliable or bandwidth-constrained.

I’ve recently been experimenting with MoSH (Mobile Shell). Basically think SSH but with UDP - so more resilient to shoddy network conditions, roaming access points, etc.

If it is not for production (e.g. running as a daemon or a server) and you only care about the development, another ad-hoc way is using screen/tmus-like software incl. byobu, and combine it with mosh.

Glances

As is from their github repository.

If I pin a version of Python, isn't that going to wreck any tooling that depends on it? Unless you're saying have multiple versions of Python installed.

This is practically the only remaining annoyance I have with the Python ecosystem (relative imports aside). I use some tools, like Glances [0] whose formula relies on a much newer version (3.12) than the actual package requires (3.8) [1].

So when there's a Python update, all of those update as well. I thought I'd fixed this with pipx, but in a way that's worse, because the venvs it builds depend on a specific version of Python existing, which doesn't work well with brew always wanting to upgrade it.

I want a stable, system-level Python that I don't touch, don't add packages to, and which only exists as a dependency for anything that needs it. If an update would break a package I have installed (due to Python library deprecation, etc.), it should warn me before updating. Otherwise, I don't care, as long as any symlinks are taken care of.

Separately, I want a stable, user-level Python that I can do whatever I want to. Nothing updates it automatically. I can accomplish this by compiling Python and using `make altinstall`, but if there's a better way, I'd love to hear about it.

Wanting to get Glances installed on OPNsense for its integration into homepage.

I don't try but maybe glance https://github.com/nicolargo/glances

In the meantime Glances is a pretty good way to keep an eye on CPU and memory usage of all your containers. You can either run it as a lightweight docker image or as a native application on your host.
