DNS Blocking: Mind the Unintended Consequences

The Internet is essential for our everyday lives. We use it to reach out to friends and family, pay our bills, study, work, watch our favorite movies, and do an infinite number of other things. But at the same time, criminal activities are also happening online. Growing concerns about online copyright infringement and child safety have led governments to regulate online services, which sometimes leads to content blocking or even making entire websites and apps unavailable.

4 reasons I use screen instead of tmux on Linux

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Apr 05, 2026

Quoting: 4 reasons I use screen instead of tmux on Linux —

The biggest advantage of screen over other terminal multiplexers is its ubiquity. Every Linux PC I've used in the last 15 years has come with screen pre-installed, whether it was the most barebone version of Debian for a headless server or a fully-fledged desktop operating system like Kubuntu.

This has been especially handy when I'm working with headless servers that I don't intend to ever put on the internet. I don't need to worry about whether my SSH session is going to crash the long job I just queued because I don't have the right program. Screen is going to be available.

On the other hand, tmux is far from universal. There is no guarantee that I'll always have the required permissions to install a different terminal multiplexer.
