6 months or a year ago I started using "mosh" to connect to my main machine from my laptops, and I run tmux on that machine. When I have a network cut, I just wait a few seconds and it's back in business, whether that's moving locations (I use a VPN so my IP is always the same, currently Nebula but has been wireguard and ZeroTier in the past), legit network problems, switching to my cell phone...

i've done this with mosh in past which gets you part of the way there.

problem is that it then doesn't work for local sessions. so you run it locally, which gives you local sessions and window management, but then all remote connections have to be via mosh -or- you mosh into the datacenter which is good for accessing infra, but leaves you having to run a separate instance for local work.

Agreed. In my case, all my "local" work is on my workstation via mosh, and my datacenter work is also done in that same tmux session. My laptop(s) are just thin clients for that work. That's great for the Chromebooks, but kind of a shame for in the case of a more capable laptop... For my workflow though, it works well.
