Yes that's it: "cat > /dev/null". Or you can even skip running cat and just "> /dev/null". You exit by typing ctrl-d which sends an EOF (and then sends all the output to /dev/null!).


So I just tried and we can use this with zellij sessions as well , which is pretty nice and has a really really nice ui/ux


cat > ~/anyrandomfile also works if you want a persistant connection / want storage to save things

I am not sure if the noteux.com works in the same way.

I am also not sure but is there a way to create persistant terminal connections as each is going to /dev/null but its persistant and you can connect to any of it?

maybe using zellij / tmux
