So, I figured since tildes and other pubnixes are becoming super popular,
many new users might need a type of on-board documenting.

While I don't recommend anything specifically, or any particular workflow,
I'm going to let you know how I do what I do, and what I use to do it.

As far as pubnixes go, I choose one pubnix as "home".  I may not log into
that one directly, but it does house all of my scripts, shortcuts, master
copies of things, etc etc.  Via the magic of ssh, any machine I log into, I
can remotely launch those scripts, edit those files, etc etc.

Whichever pubnix I log into, its one that has two base components:  mosh
and byobu (Or tmux, but byobu preferably).  This allows me to keep my
session going, and to create a "workspace" of sorts.

I prefer byobu because I can name the tabs, and I dedicate each tab to a
function:  email, chat, rtv, www, shell, etc etc

For email, I stick with alpine.  I just like its very classic email client
feel.  For reddit, instead of using the web interface, I use rtv, which is
installed on most pubnixes/tildes, and if not, you can install it in your
home direcory using python environments.

I tend to use vim for text editing, like most others do.  However, I tend
keep my .vimrc pretty small, and limited.  It's like 3 lines.

For browsing, I try to use w3m whenever I can, but it doesn't do gopher
very well, and for that I use lynx.

For chat, I'm strictly a weechat person, even when I'm using a local irc
client, which is rare, tbh, because I prefer using a steady connected
client, rather than a bouncer of any sort.  For mobile, I set up a relay
and use the weechat android client by ubergeek42 (Not me, btw).  I find 
this to be the most reliable and easiest to set up.

Now, generally speaking, all of these tools I use run from my "home" tilde
not nessecarily the one I'm logged into.  For most things, I run the
commands over ssh.  ie, ssh -t tilde.home rtv or ssh -t tilde.home w3m.

This allows me to keep my preferences, bookmarks, etc in one place.  I
just phone home to run them.  SSH is a pretty great protocol, which turns
any machine into one that can run a program for you.  Your login tilde is
the terminal and that's all.

I suppose as I think about this more, I'll have a more in depth answer
and explanation, but I think this will help people get a start into
gettting comfortable and at home, regardless of the tilde they use. :)
