I'm Dustin Kirkland, author of Byobu[1]. I built Trustmux[2] to solve a personal problem: secure, encrypted access to my tmux[3] and Byobu sessions from my phone, without the pain …

Wow, I'm really sorry to here that. I'm 8+ years removed from leading Canonical's product management team, but I still love Ubuntu.

How so?

Oh no! Not that! :-)

Blog post author here... I'm happy to discuss anything in that post here (rather than Blogger comments, which are pretty unmanageable). Cheers! Dustin

Author/maintainer of Byobu here... Tell me more about your "byobu crash". Can you point me to any bug reports in either bugs.launchpad.net/byobu or github.com/dustinkirkland/byobu …

I'm almost certainly past the point in life where an MBA makes financial sense for me, my career, and my family. However, I'm a voracious reader and would love to absorb some of th…

Reminds me of the Grateful Dead song I sing my kids when I put them to bed, "The Monkey and the Engineer".

Am I the only person who saw the headline and assumed this was about onion routing?

I do love single malt scotch whisky. But I will say...Sherry by itself is totally underated. I spent a week in Jerez a few years ago studying Sherry and it is truly an art. If you …

...and joining Google!

You're looking for Ubuntu Core.

LXD containers make fantastic replacements for VMs! Just try 'lxc launch ubuntu:'. Then 'lxc list'. And then you can either exec into, or ssh into your machine container!

Stay tuned :-) That's my next post...

Thanks! I'll make sure that gets to the right team!
