 +  * As with most Linux questions, once you know what to search, Google is your answer. [[https://​linuxize.com/​post/​how-to-setup-passwordless-ssh-login/​|Here]] is a sample step-by-step guide. 
 +**I walk away from my desk for five minutes and my ssh session times out, can I stop this?** 
 +  * Yes! There is a parameter called ServerAliveInterval which will keep sessions alive. A guide is [[https://​patrickmn.com/​aside/​how-to-keep-alive-ssh-sessions/​|here]]. 
 +**How do I access journal articles from home?** 
 +  * There are a variety of possibilities,​ from connecting to campus via a VPN or other remote connection (I once used curl to download an article directly to fishtank which I could then scp back to my computer!). 
 +  * MSU libraries details some instructions [[https://​lib.msu.edu/​rds/​offcampus-access/​|here]]. 
 +  * By far the easiest method I've found is to create a proxy server bookmarklet à la [[https://​www.lib.purdue.edu/​help/​bookmarklet|this Purdue guide]]. 
 +      * You then simply replace the Purdue href with the MSU one: "​http://​proxy1.cl.msu.edu/​login?​url=%22+location.href"​ 
 +      * Your final bookmarklet should look like this: javascript:​void(location.href="​http://​proxy1.cl.msu.edu/​login?​url=%22+location.href)  
 +      * Now whenever you are up against a journal'​s paywall you merely need to click this bookmark, login to your MSU account, and voilà!
