This thread is turned into tmux config, so I'm posting too this little script found on Arch Wiki years ago.

Code: Select all

exec x-terminal-emulator -e bash -c "tmux -q has-session && exec tmux attach-session -d || exec tmux new-session 'ranger /media' \; split-window -h ranger \; split-window -v \;"
Note: you may change "x-terminal-emultar" with your terminal name eg: stterm or xterm
Also: you may change "ranger" / "ranger /media" with your apps name like rTorrent, newsbeuter, mutt etc...

I find the above command useful, because, keeps sessions open in tmux even if i close the console window or if the tmux is running on desktop, it open back where i left it.

Big changes for my Debian desktop: I've slightly reduced the size of the panel font :mrgreen:

Image

Also changed from ifupdown to systemd-networkd using systemd's native DHCP server with automatic switching from wireless to wired connections[1] and systemd-resolved providing the DNS via Google:

Code: Select all

# ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
The resolv.conf file then shows a nameserver of 127.0.0.53, which is a bit weird, but it works:

Code: Select all

empty@hegel:~ $ systemd-resolve forums.debian.net
forums.debian.net: 217.196.43.138

-- Information acquired via protocol DNS in 2.6ms.
-- Data is authenticated: no
empty@hegel:~ $
I really do love the integrated user space provided by all the systemd tools, it is very Unix-like :twisted:

Thank you, ruffwoof very much for the detailed description of tmux. Very useful information. I will tailor something for my own needs. Thanks again.

Seems like you are using lots of RAM for something without eye candy and only 4 terminal windows open ?

I do like systemd-{network,resolve}d but it is a bit of a memory hog... :roll:

systemd services are multiplied so much that i have to zoom out my eyes then start counting :)

7 so far, I believe the trend is ever in rising rather than falling.

Well atleast Club 100 is there. So, good job for keeping memory tightened tightly.

Yes, I know what you mean but the functionality on offer is very impressive, for example querying my DNS stats:

Code: Select all

empty@hegel:~ $ systemd-resolve --statistics                          
DNSSEC supported by current servers: yes

Transactions
Current Transactions: 0
  Total Transactions: 70973

Cache
  Current Cache Size: 117
          Cache Hits: 27779
        Cache Misses: 45791

DNSSEC Verdicts
              Secure: 8653
            Insecure: 42095
               Bogus: 0
       Indeterminate: 0
empty@hegel:~ $
Note that DNSSEC is enabled :cool:

It would be possible to run my rig with just `wpa-supplicant` & `ip` but I like the integration of systemd's userland tools.

I do not deny that there are many useful features on systemd as long i used it in Debian 8.

After much thought, I decided to try out the window manager-Afterstep. I installed it and was dumbfounded. Desktop of the nineties;) But I liked it. And even very much. After the fuss with Xmonad, constant config file modification, etc. i decided to tear it all to hell, and stay on Afterstep. So far it looks like this (an empty desktop)

I have a low-power machine. Raised Debian 9, which got up as native, and installed the lightweight window manager-FVWM.

After some modifications, ncmpcpp now displays messages and album art as song changes.
