Mosh is incredibly useful. I have sessions running from uptime until reboot with machines (pis and a desktop) on my local network from my laptop.

I leave with the laptop, return days later, and perform no manual intervention to reconnect. It's absolutely brilliant.



I used mosh when my data plan plumetted to 2.7 KBPS (~ISDN/2G speeds).

I connected to a public Unix server and read news, IRC'ed, IM'ed and such like crazy. Also, without being connected to a Pubnix, IRC and Gopher did it fine, the web with patience, and the same with Gemini (gemini://gemi.dev has been really useful to read news and scrap a 95% of unneeded scripts and trackers from web sites).

Usenet was slow on fetching, but totally readable the next morning, and, better, offline.
