the Internet is shaking with the power of ten thousand wagging fingers over Go Daddy’s support of SOPA
Go Daddy is a terrible registrar. I love Gandi’s customer service and support and would recommend them to anyone who wants a reliable service with minimal fuss.

“Screen?” I scoff. “That’s from like 19-something. We’re all using tmux now.”
If you’d like to switch to tmux for some reason (possibly to to maintain your street cred or out of loathing of the GPL), this is a guide that points out the differences and how to cope.
