Feature Topic: GNU Screen - The Old School Way
Yeah yeah, I know tmux is the "cool" thing everyone uses now... but some of us remember when Screen was THE multiplexer.

Still pre-installed on most systems when tmux isn't. Going to show you why it's still relevant in 2025 and why you might want to keep it in your toolkit - especially if you're like me and your muscle memory was formed in the '90s.

NEW T-SHIRT GIVEAWAY!
We've got new Linux.org shirts in stock and I'm giving one away!

I am subscribed to the channel, being darned near the first to do so.

But it'd be unethical for me to win this shirt. While I might want a shirt, I'll just have to buy one, which is something I'm okay with doing. I don't generally advertise anything on my clothing, but I could make an exception.

Thanks for the offer, and I hope someone is happy with their shirt.

Whereas I have no such reservations. I am a tart for a linux t-shirt.

I would just have to establish how American sizes compare to Australian sizes.

Nor should you. I'm 100% confident that Rob will use something approaching 'random', the optics would be weird (not bad), if I won. By all means, I hope that you're the winner. I might do what I often do, which is order stuff to be delivered at a completely unknown address.

A shirt that I can wear is a good idea. I'm not someone who will make use of a sticker - unless it's important.

(I have some creative ideas regarding a sticker. I'll mention 'em in the mod section eventually.)

Also, I should definitely be asleep by now. I'm okay with not being asleep.

I watched it and thought it was really good. The screen tutorial was informative.

The winner still hasn't responded here.

He's a tad busy watching the AFLW grand final on the telly ! (so am I !!)

 

[demonchild]

nice!

 

[wizardfromoz]

Here's the winner, lol. On my 2nd Sunday morning coffee.

I don't win a lot of things, so it was a pleasant surprise.

I've ordered the shirt and paid the postage, and we'll see if it arrives by Christmas.

When I have it I'll post a selfie here, and I plan to wear it in any of my Wizards Corner Tutorials that feature a Mini Me in the screencast.

Cheers

Chris

Congratulations! That didn't look very random, but I can't think of a better winner.

 

[gvisoc]

Ah, I had already subscribed, but I didn't see this thread. I will tap on the bell thingie, I guess!

Order #KNLDJKVA

Your order has shipped!​

The package is in the mail and on the way.

Hopefully, Santa brings it when he hits the Australian leg of his trip, and changes reindeer to kangaroo.

Cheers
