I'm on an iPhone. My parents won't let me have an android because everyone else in the family uses apple products. Any way to keep tmux from resizing windows?

[pefu19]

well sorry i cant help you, try to get a terminal emulator going and ssh from that? atleast thats what id do i never used an iphone

[blueblur121]

I am using an ssh from it. Read my first post. My problem is that tmux resizes it's window to the size of my phone screen when I attach.

Blue are you using split panes or full, separate shells

[blueblur121]

Full seperate shells. Split panes would suck on a phone.

[/Pacha]

Uh, you have the session detached on the computer before reattaching it on the phone right?

[blueblur121]

No. I have it attatched on the computer and phone at the same time. Is that the problem? I would prefer that my Minecraft server's console be there when I turn on the screen.

what's the difference between syslinux and grub? which one is better to use?

[blueblur121]

Grub is probably better for desktop users as it allows for dual booting and has a menu to choose OS's.
Idk about syslinux though. Never used it.

OT: My dad won't forward my ports for me! D:

He doesn't let anyone change the router settings but himself (probably a smart move on his part) but that means that I have to wait for him to forward my ports. Right now, my server is just local because of it. He said he'll do it later, but I doubt it.

what kind of server are you hosting?
You could use a reverse ssh port forward between your server and a remote vps.
Clients would connect to the remote server's IP, but would be connecting to your local server.
If you have enough bandwidth and a strong enough local computer, you can save money by buying a really stuffty vps, and simply use it to bounce network data.
Plus, you never get directly DDoSed.

Okay, minecraft... Yeah, that'll work well.

ssh user@vps-ip -R world-facing-port:minecraft-server-ip:minecraft-server-port

If you run that command from the server hosting minecraft
ssh user@vps-ip -R 25565:localhost:25565

Tell minecraft to join vps-ip:25565

that's the problem I'm guessing. since its the same session its probably getting forgeted with on both instances. Try detaching it on your laptop before attaching it on your phone

Ok, I see the problem. I just can't access it with two devices at once. That works.

so today I went ahead and installed arch on my dell latitude d620. it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I followed a tutorial on YouTube.

Anyways, since Arch is a rolling release, does that mean it will automatically update? It seems pretty stable right now so I would like it if it would stay like that.

[Kingdaro]

It only updates if you choose to do so.

[blueblur121]

It updates when you do pacman -Syu.

And then all packages are up to date.

Be warned though: these are development updates. Because of Arch's bleeding-edge updating, you may encounter glitches in new versions of software you upgrade.
