R 4.1.0 is coming May 18: we all should test it now.
A first 'alpha' build dated 20210419 (svn r80191) is in @Debian experimental (not unstable due to release freeze). If you know how to help yourself on Debian, amd64 binaries are here:

Great paper on the topic of binary packages for Linux by the authors of the bspm R package: arxiv.org/pdf/2103.08069
The package (I get the feeling this is work in progress but ready to use): github.com/Enchufa2/bspm

In theory, R_OFFLINE may work. In practice, someone who should have set ot may then have failed to do so.
In practice, base::url() is orthogonal to all this, does not require other resources, folks, or coordination--and thus seems to work for me. #rstats

I have `isConnected` in package `dang` which does the trick---by trying to resolve Google (as a default, can be changed) and to open the page.
As it relies only on base R itshould be portable enough. I am sure lots of people have similar helper functions.

In an upcoming @ieeesoftware paper with @lolamby, we describe the #ReproducibleBuilds approach to increase the integrity of [#opensource] software #SupplyChains and how that worked out for @Debian.

It can! As I showed (only half-jokingly) in my 't4' series last year when demonstrating running `byobu` (for persistent sessions) inside the _terminal_ tab of RStudio.
See here for last year's seven 't4' posts. They complement this new ess-intro series.

ess-intro.github.io/ I’ve tried Rstudio several times over the years and it’s great but I always go back to Emacs and ESS. This is a great initiative to introduce it to a wider audience.

Congratulations! @Debian builds have been prepared, but sent to 'experimental' during the release freeze. Binaries for amd64 are at github.com/eddelbuettel/ppa. Builds for @Ubuntu 20.04 are queued at Launchpad in my PPA and should be available "soon".
#QuantLib 1.22 (the C++11 edition) was released today. Thanks to all contributors!
Get it at <quantlib.org/download.shtml>. Release history at <quantlib.org/reference/histo…>.

That may have been biostars.org/ backed by the code in github.com/ialbert/biostar-c…
But my gut feel is that a _course_ is too small a population to meaningfully interact, review, vote, aggregate, ... Worth a try though.

That was my recollection too (which I sent to HB via DM).
High-fidelity testing of the packages in the emerging repositories is a key driver in how #Rstats started to have code archives that mattered, and which grew tremendously because of this focus on ensuring code quality.

Script installRSPM.r in littler automates this.
See the gif below (where I have to say 'focal' to get the LTS, I am non-LTS 'groovy'). We also have rocker/r-rspm for this (but I think rocker/r-bspm is cooler).

That is an underspecifiied request: which distro and release?
Say you use the PPA by Michael then ... you _may_ hit the fact that ~ 5k r-cran-* packages is less than 17k at CRAN. So some will be missing.
More pointers here, and I recommend bspm:
This use case of _effortlessly_ getting #Rstats package binaries onto @Ubuntu has been covered in a few blog posts (and videos).
You can start here and scroll down:

Regarding tmux: I recorded a few short videos last year on 'Tips, Tricks, Tools, and Toys' -- command-line proficiency on Unix -- and videos 4, 5 and 6 cover tmux (via byobu) incl 'sessions'. Short writeups / slides:
