I am a network engineer and I had been using Termius in the MAC for about an year now.But whenever if there is a need for log collection, I have to use MAC Terminal. Because I cannot scroll with the mouse and select the text. This is a big disadvantage for me. (I don't want to press cmd+A and do a select-all)

Also it will be better if the list of connections (and folders) are displayed readily accessible always in the left or on the top.

I have not used the app in mobile. Because I am skeptical to store the hostnames and IPs (and definitely passwords) on a third party application.

I have used asciinema for this purpose. Do you think it will be useful to link asciinema recordings with this?

I am a network engineer for a medium size company (I have worked for very large enterprises too) and there a a lot of opportunities for startups in network engineering.

1)Simple network automation platform that works for "My" custom environment, simply and effortlessly and also it should not break any existing network. (I don't mean like HP Network Automation)

2) Network diagram software - Seriously, any experienced network engineer will agree that this one needs a lot of disruption. Visio is very expensive and even then it is a pain to use. And Lucidchart or Cacoo or draw.io or other online tools too have their flaws/drawbacks.

3)Network monitoring tools - It is a pity that CA Spectrum, which is a ugly and non user-friendly tool, in my opinion, is among the most used network monitoring software. Network monitoring tools are bread and butter of NOC (Network Operation Center) teams.

4) Network devices configuration management tool and Change and topology visualization tool - Netbrain seemed promising in the start. But it seems to do too many things and has still room for improvement.

It is high time that more and more programmers should start building and contributing in network engineering field. There are numerous tools for each and every function. But there is lot of room for improvement in making those tools more elegant, easier to use and more reliable.

Yes, there is Software Defined Networking (SDN) where the vendors (Cisco, Silverpeak, Riverbed etc) themselves provide a nice visual dashboard. But the current "non-SDN" devices are going to stay for quite some time. And also why do we need to depend on one vendor and hence the Vendor provided dashboard? There will always be customers who would want vendor agnostic architecture and common tools to manage the infrastructure.

Note: A lot of the current tools (especially the ones I have mentioned above) do work very well and are used by large enterprises for a reason. But Tesla did disrupt the market of cars in its own way when reliable Toyotas and fast Ferraris already existed.

I really appreciate the SO team in bringing this up and considering this as a priority issue. Many people have been the "third group" as mentioned by "sigstoat" above, just because of the hostility.

>there's also the third, silent, probably much larger group, who neither asks questions nor answers them.

>it seems as though the single authoritative, comprehensive answers is what helps those people the most.

I hope something good comes out of this effort from the SO team.

However, I just hope that this effort to be lenient though doesn't lead this site from being a fairly reliable site for learning purpose, to becoming "Quora 2.0". i.e far too many duplicates and far too many low-quality questions, that it actually drives away the current expert crowd away from the site.

Great! Now the whole world can see which domains you are interested in. This is supposed to be some last resort backup when all other DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and others) are down or blocked? In that extreme case of unavailability, what is the guarantee that local Govt is not involved and Twitter and/or sms to Twitter is not blocked.

Am I missing any use case here?

All you people living in the US complaining about DST thinking only you have a problem with it.

Well, guess what, you wouldn't have imagined a tiny fraction of people on the other end of the world too have a problem with it.

When DST is in effect, engineers supporting US from India work from 5:30pm to 2:30am. When DST ends in November the guys have to work from 6:30pm to 3:30am. And this is just for east coast. Granted it is just one hour. But it does make a lot of difference when the travel back to home takes 1hr and by the time you are trying to fall asleep, the Sun is shining bright outside the window.

And I have worked in this manner for 5 continuous years in continuous night shifts until I shifted recently to one of the (very few) companies who have day shift jobs in my area of specialization and simultaneously not having a shitty pay. I used to hate going to office between November to March, no matter how much I did like my job and the technology. And so I used to treasure those work-from-home days.

Edit: Added formatting, correct error and added some context.

If the developer of asciinema is here, I just want to thank you for this amazing application. It is so useful and so easy to use. When I am learning something new in Linux, I research a lot and finally achieve something, only to forget how I did it a few months later. But with asciinema, I don't have this problem. I am able to record the stuff whenever I am doing anything new in Linux. Really glad to know about the 2.0 features especially that we don't lose the recording if it is interrupted.

Thanks for the links

I would like to share an anecdote. In March 2016, I was weighing 96 kilograms (211.64 pounds). I made just one change during that time which is to stop having anything with sugar. I continued to take other natural sweeteners like jaggery and honey. The rest of my diet remained the same and my activity level remained the same ( I work in IT as a network engineer in a desk job)

In October 2016, I was weighing 72 kilos (158.73 pounds). I am still maintaining that same weight between 70 to 72 kilos since then. Incase if it is relevant, I am a 29 year old guy with a height of 172 cm (5 feet 7 inches).

Along with that, I got several other benefits such as being more energetic, not feeling sleepy all the time, general improvement in mood etc.

All this just with stopping of sugar and nothing else changed.

I can share even more side benefits which I got, but it will seem more unbelievable because I have observed that the general population is still unaware of the extremely harmful effects of sugar.

EDIT: I had typed October 2017 when I had intended to type October 2016. It was just 7 months.

Does this phone have a IMEI number? In my country, it is not possible to use a phone without a valid IMEI, let alone the fact that that it is illegal. How does the process of assigning IMEI work?

I second this. Sugar does much more harm to our body than we usually realize. After stopping sugar, my health tremendously improved. But the first few weeks and months of stopping sugar, (I used to consume too much sugar earlier) I noticed the worst possible games my mind can play against me. My mind used to say that it is ridiculous and I am being impractical, childish and what not!. It was a war and I won it. And now I am reaping the benefits. I am able to focus better. I am having better energy and my memory has improved.

The exact answer to your question is explained in this book and Carl calls it as "Deep Work".

I found the opposite to be true for myself. If I don't take notes, I forget soon. But if I take notes, at the time of taking notes, I am processing the information in a way that I can explain myself. So somehow that helps me remember a little longer even if I don't read those notes a second time.
