Also, to save yourself from nasty surprises, verify the hostname of the system you're on when you start a screen/tmux session. This tip doesn't work if you do it on your local machine instead of the remote.
Good morning, folks. Have a sysadmin tip:
When you ssh to a remote system, make it a habit to run either `screen` or `tmux` first. Always. Even for just a quick little command.
That way, when your crap ISP monopoly drops your connection for no reason whatsoever, your remote command won't be SIGHUP'd, & you can resume with `screen -r` or `tmux attach` when they decide your connection can be restored.

Apple rant: handheld computers edition
Did you know Safari on iPhone won't load a page over HTTP if even 1 subdomain of that site is HTTPS?
It gets better!
1. Instead of showing a message, it loads a completely different page & shows that to the user, leaving the user baffled.
2. It hits all the proper URLs anyway, making a liar out of the user to the website operators.
I'd have blamed the user, too, if I didn't watch it live from both ends.
