GNU Screen: sessions that survive an SSH drop

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A long apt upgrade, a migration, a build — then the laptop sleeps. SSH dies, the process gets SIGHUP and dies with it. GNU Screen keeps the terminal on the server: disconnect, come back, the work is still there.

It is not a nohup replacement and not “another SSH”. It is a multiplexer: named sessions, several windows inside one, a shared session for two people. On older RHEL/Debian boxes screen is often already installed when tmux is not.

kind: Local Kubernetes in Docker

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

kind creates a Kubernetes cluster from Docker containers: control-plane and worker nodes are kindest/node images. Primary use cases are local development and CI. GitHub Actions has an official create-kind action that makes pipelines with K8s tests straightforward.

Compared to minikube, kind has no hypervisor dependency and natively supports multi-node topologies. Compared to k3d, it requires no Rancher and talks to CRI/containerd directly.
