I am interested too, my fallback bank trapped me (or my courage to resist), the fallback of fallback would be crypto but i am not sure i want to depend on this too...

Re:Multiple Security Issues in GNU Screen on Tuesday May 13, 2025 @12:41PM (#43974844)
A smooth transition from GNU screen to tmux, will be appreciated for potentially 60K users.

https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=screen

I note that tmux has only 40K users (of debian popcon users)

https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=tmux

I am considering to try the link shared previously:

https://github.com/grml/grml-etc-core/blob/master/etc/tmux.c...

Now I miss a way to translate CLI options and batch files

NuttX worth considering if you're coming from Linux background, I liked it and related community, BTW they have a workshop later this year.

Back to the subject implementing drivers can be a good warmup exercise, you can get inspiration from hints I have shared:

Yes I just discovered this lastweek It worked fine from Linux.
