Ask HN: moving beyond screen to persist SSH sessions?

Not quite what you are asking for but it would solve the problem:

1. Get an Android.

2. Hack it and install the debian subsystem.

3. see: http://brad.livejournal.com/2400054.html

So now instead of running an ssh to a remote server you are running an ssh to your android which then hosts all of the outward ssh sessions. Because of the androids 2g/3g you can't lose your connection (well not easily).

Man, it's a tough way to solve his problem, but it would be hard to find a solution that is more hacker than this one.

I truly feel sorry for you if your cell phone has a more stable internet connection than a desktop.

Cellphones: always connected to cell towers. Conneciton isn't great but its almost always there.

Laptop: network changes as you move from one wifi hotspot to another.

I'm advocating moving his ssh connections to route through the android rather than directly from the laptop to the server.
