Use mosh[1] instead of ssh for superior handling of weaker connections and roaming. You close your laptop one place, go elsewhere, switch to LTE, whatever, open the lid and you're back on. Don't even need to reconnect.

It's a real shame that it can't handle X11 forwarding, which is pretty much all I use ssh for nowadays.


Well, that and tunnelling all sorts of other traffic, basically mini-VPN. I use this all the time for a variety of remote systems (or local, I am the remote one).
