Woah. I've never seen an elevator without a phone. Like maybe in a developing country but in the UK that seriously isn't in the building code?

It is in the Lift Regulations 1997:

* http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/831/schedule/1/parag...

In accordance with the 1995 EU Directive:

* http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:...

But it is not retroactive:

* http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/831/regulation/5/mad...

However, there were of course earlier regulations.

I earlier tried running screen on top of mosh. But it did't worked for me. Can you tell how you exactly did it?

You run screen on the server side. mosh in, then screen. Works just fine.

And then you can use "Ctrl-A [" and arrows to scroll. Screen keeps a scroll buffer server side.

Have you tried JuiceSSH by any chance? Curious how the two compare.

Another commentor expressed it, but JuiceSSH is proprietary. In most cases open source is more of a preference for me than a necessity, but I may need to sudo or access root over SSH, and there's no way to review closed source code. JuiceSSH (IMHO) has too much control over my computer for me to use it based on the assumption that I fully can trust the developer.

Agree. Really wish mosh support would be merged into standard ConnectBot. The linked build on the mosh site is hacked into an old version of an old ConnectBot fork.

Hey, never, but never, go out of an elevator that isn't leveled in the floor. By the description, I understand that he jumped from the elevator. If the elevator started to move, he could have been cut in half. This happened other day in my city. If you are stuck in a elevator, wait for professional help to take you out.

In China...Hmm I would think that considering the population she would have been noticed. Terrible..

Still no proper IPv6 support. I use v6 almost exclusively to get to all my servers.

> I use v6 almost exclusively to get to all my servers. I'm curious. Does any of your servers have only IPv6 address? That is, no IPv4-connectivity.

Some containers/jails do, but not the entire server.

To be fair, mosh -6 does work. I believe it’s only roaming that doesn’t work yet?

Specifically, it is roaming between IPv6 and IPv4 that is problematic. According to Anders Kaseorg, roaming amongst IPv6 nodes works fine.

mosh + zerotier = win for random home servers, imho

For anyone else that was curious, zerotier appears to be a virtual network tool, kind of like Hamachi but not run by a terrible company and with a much saner pricing scale.

It looks great, is open-source, and free for up to 10 devices. I've been using Hamachi, but I may switch.
