One problem with user-scoped `systemd` timers	2023-11-26	systemd debian automation linux

I've discovered one big downside of [putting systemd times into ~/.config/systemd/user/][1]: They stop running when you log out.

Two ways around this problem:

1. Bite the bullet, and install the timers into /etc/systemd/. This means giving up chezmoi version control, making the overall system more snowflake-y. I'm not crazy about it.
2. Remote in with tmux, instead of ever logging out, just use C-b d to detach from the session.

I'm going with #2. The lead developer of ktty is known not to like tmux, so there's probably a way to detach long-running SSH sections inside of kitty itself -- but I haven't found it yet. Have you?
