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

- uniqueuid 4y agoDid they disable the telemetry? Last time I checked, you needed to compile it yourself to get rid of that. Not a fan of telemetry in secure shell tools.
- jw_cook 4y agoThe first message I get when starting it up: Eternal Terminal collects crashes and errors in order to help us improve your experience. The data collected is anonymous. You can opt-out of telemetry by setting the environment variable ET_NO_TELEMETRY to any non-empty value.
- jw_cook 4y agoJust checked this out, and the scrollback feature looks great. I'd like to try this out, but am I understanding correctly that this needs to be installed on the server side as well as the client? That seems like a fairly large limitation compared to mosh.
- reubenmorais 4y agoMosh also needs to be installed on the server.
- jw_cook 4y agoAh, you're right, I misunderstood. Thanks!
- loeg 4y agoI run screen inside my mosh sessions which provides scrollback, among other features. (Tmux is another option.) ET is also a great solution, but I happen to need screen or something like it for its other features anyway.
- d5ve 4y agoI've been using mosh since it was announced, but I periodically try Eternal Terminal. However I havent ever managed to get ET running on Amazon Linux which all my AWS EC2 instances run. I've tried compiling, docker, app images and nothing has worked.
