# tabssh

[idk](https://twitter.com/rsnous/status/1365106287080472579)

Uses [TabFS](https://github.com/osnr/TabFS) and

[gilderlabs/ssh](https://twitter.com/jf/status/1352012743600062465).

Set your TabFS mount path in `tabssh.go`.

```

$ go run tabssh.go

```

and

```

$ ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no localhost -p 2222

```

(you can set a fun hostname in `~/.config/ssh`:

```

Host last-focused-tab.safari.localhost

    HostName localhost

    Port 2222

    LogLevel ERROR

    StrictHostKeyChecking no

    UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null 

```

)

## ideas

a hack would be to make it dispatch to tab depending on provided username, like how

[their Docker

example](https://github.com/gliderlabs/ssh/tree/master/_examples/ssh-docker)

dispatches to process (ssh `jq@localhost` runs `jq`)

but really, the _right_ way to do it would be to make it so that

`safari.localhost` is a hostname that actually lets you talk to

Safari, and `last-focused-tab.safari.localhost` is a hostname that

actually lets you talk to the last focused tab.

could you make a virtual network or something to do that? (where each

tab is a host on the virtual network) I mean, that feels

philosophically right; [tabs are virtual

computers](https://twitter.com/rsnous/status/1352014584731734016), so

maybe they should be network-addressable like your real computer is

(and maybe other things should be network-addressable that way too --

individual applications, documents, etc).

like 'port numbers' feel kinda like they unnaturally promote one level

of computer, the physical one on your desk that has a Wi-Fi chip, and

hide the computers nested inside it (such as each of your browser

tabs)
