It's handy having a raspberry pi on the network. For example ...

I needed to start a long-running job on my NAS via SSH, but I couldn't do it from my laptop because my laptop would fall asleep and kill the connection.

And I couldn't figure out how to safely install screen or tmux onto the NAS (I'm assured that it is possible with OPKG, but haven't given it a try yet).

So in a pinch, I SSH'd to the Pi, started a Screen session, SSH'd to the NAS, and started the job. Success! Now I can disconnect to my heart's content.

I can also check in on the progress when I need to with screen -r.
