What's a good way to handle ssh and tmux, if I'm already in a tmux session in my desktop?

I'm in a tmux session in my desktop. Then I ssh into a server from within tmux. I want to start tmux to be able multiplex and detach from some tasks. What do?

Use ctrl+b once to send commands to local Tmux server, twice to send commands to Tmux running on remote machine you SSH'ed in to. I think this can go on, in theory, but I did not test.

I remapped the prefix locally, and run vanilla tmux on remote boxes.
