How does this compare to ssh+gnu screen on the remote host?
> Ssh is a great remote terminal program, and in fact ET uses ssh to initialize the connection. The big difference between ET and ssh is that an ET session can survive network outages and IP roaming. With ssh, one must kill the ssh session and reconnect after a network outage

My understanding is: Mosh can't scroll because it doesn't send you the full output of the terminal. It only sends you the current "window" (visible terminal contents) at the current time. ET sends you everything. So if a program suddenly outputs a massive number of lines, mosh will discard the beginning and only send you the visible end of the output. ET will send you everything - which might bog down slow connection…
I'd like something cleverer than that. Act like mosh but use spare time/capacity to send the historical buffer too. That way you get the best of both worlds.
Does Eternal Terminal have any telemetry? I guess what I'm asking is, does ET phone home?
I am probably missing the point here, but how is this different than connecting via ssh and doing tmux attach?

That would be interesting, but also require support from the terminal emulator. Hence why ET is "native scrolling", I guess?
It is down for me, I wonder if .dev domain is filtered for me? Anyone has issues accesing this?
If you ping eternalterminal.dev, does it go straight to localhost? If so, it's probably your own computer that's redirecting .dev to localhost.
Eterminal.
Ever since moving to eshell+tramp, all of these persistence tools, however beautifully designed, somehow strike me as solving the wrong problem.
