    Multiplexing will boost your SSH connectivity or speed by reusing existing TCP connections to a remote host. Here are commands that you can use to control multiplexing when using OpenSSH server or client on your Linux, macOS, FreeBSD or Unix-like systems. Not sure what SSH multiplexing is? Learn how to set it up and use it to speed up your SSH sessions with our handy guide: cyberciti.biz/faq/ssh-multiple

 execution), “cancel” (cancel forwardings), “exit” (request the master to exit), and “stop” (request the master to stop accepting further multiplexing requests).

      My transition from to continues. I set up most of the shortcuts in to use CMD instead of CTRL, including those in . This time, however, I'm changing the shortcuts on a per-app basis rather than globally, since the latter approach didn't work well.

      CMD+C/V, CMD+TAB, CMD+W/Q works well and it's very nice.

      I want to tweak Dock's theme or even code, to match macOS better. In macOS it has a margin to the edge.

      Notice fonts rendering. I tweak it to match macOS too.

        I just released a long blog post about using on to debug a thorny bug in the macOS kernel that was breaking 's socket disconnect detection.

        It goes through what the fault was, how I found it, where to find information about DTrace on macOS (which is not really well documented), and how the macOS kernel's networking/events system works at a high level. It also explains how one can take an unfamiliar kernel and quickly find relevant code.

                      @siracusa At the very least, if you can *only* have popup buttons that “hug" the title of the selected item, at least lower the compression resistance on the label so it truncates. This is NOT how you build UI. Look how the label will go into its own row if it doesn't fit vertically.

                                "… would love to switch to another platform but whenever I try KDE or GNOME my experience is always ‘not quite as bad as Windows’, …"

                                For more than two decades, I was a huge fan of Apple's OS. Yosemite was the killer, I switched to PC-BSD.

                                Now, preparing to switch from FreeBSD to Linux:

                                – whilst I do miss the excellent aspects of Mac OS X, the worst aspects are so bad that I'll never switch back

                                – I can barely tolerate Microsoft's desktop environment, and that's not because I'm anti-Microsoft

                                – KDE Plasma ticks more boxes than any other DE.

                                YMMV :-)

                                    Lesson 1 in ... your buttons should not be moving targets. Especially if they're toggles.

                                    Look at how if I toggle on "Transactions" and then toggle it off, I am no longer in the bounds of that button. TF?!
