Recommended tools

systemctl is recommended for service management, via these aliases:

alias sysu="systemctl --user"

alias logu="journalctl -e --user -u"

To make your systemctl units stay online even after you log out or after elysium reboots, write: (this is already enabled for many shared user accounts)

loginctl enable-linger

If you install mosh, an alternative to ssh, your command-line connections will stay open even after losing internet, closing your laptop, or boarding a flight. You can put this in your local ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to improve keystroke prediction:

export MOSH_PREDICTION_DISPLAY=experimental

rsync is the recommended tool for uploading files. For example, to upload an em to the shared conjure account, you might run:

rsync -r ./path/to/local/files [email protected]:/home/conjure/ems
