How to definitively speed up your mosh operations

If you’ve read Filippo Valsorda’s guide to using mosh+tmux in a smart way, you’ve probably also noticed that, with mosh, specifying an ssh keyfile is no longer a relatively simple matter of typing: but it’s now this mess: and that is rather cumbersome, especially considering there’s a better way anyway to manage ssh keyfiles.

How to evade telegram and set an autoreply for who’s left

If you take a rapid look at my presentation about openspace’s aenigma state-of-the-art XMPP server automation project, you’ll find out why I encourage everyone to get the fuck out of Telegram right away.
