True Color (24-bit) and italics with alacritty + tmux + vim (neovim)

This should make True Color (24-bit) and italics work in your tmux session and vim/neovim when using Alacritty (and should be compatible with any other terminal emulator, including Kitty).

Testing colors

Running this script should look the same in tmux as without.

Here's a list of mildly interesting things about the C language that I learned mostly by consuming Clang's ASTs. Although surprises are getting sparser, I might continue to update this document over time.

There are many more mildly interesting features of C++, but the language is literally known for being weird, whereas C is usually considered smaller and simpler, so this is (almost) only about C.

1. Combined type and variable/field declaration, inside a struct scope [https://godbolt.org/g/Rh94Go]

struct foo {
   struct bar {
 int x;

Now that you are able to create various forward or reverse SSH tunnels with lots of options and even simplify your live with ~/.ssh/config you probably also want to know how make a tunnel persistent. By persistent I mean, that it is made sure the tunnel will always run. For example, once your ssh connection times out (By server-side timeout), your tunnel should be re-established automatically.

I know there are plenty of scripts out there which try to do that somehow. Some scripts use a while loop, others encourage you to run a remote command (such as tail) to make sure you don’t run into timeout and various others. But actually, you don’t want to re-invent the wheel and stick to bullet-proof already existing solutions. So the game-changer here is AutoSSH.
TL;DR

autossh -M 0 -o "ServerAliveInterval 30" -o "ServerAliveCountMax 3" -L 5000:localhost:3306 [email protected]

or fully configured (via ~/.ssh/config) for background usage

autossh -M 0 -f -T -N cli-mysql-tunnel
