Im basically running:
nohup ./executable &> /tmp/out.log &
and to make sure the process is running i want to do
tail -f /tmp/out.log
but the only thing i get from tail is "nohup: ignoring input" and once killing the process previously started i can see the contents of out.log
linux io-redirection tail nohup

Run your program as:
nohup stdbuf -oL ./executable &> /tmp/out.log &
stdbuf can change the default buffering.

Your executable is using buffered output, so you will only see something with tail if more than one block of output is produced. The size of such a block will be 4k or more.
If you wrote the executable yourself, change the output to line buffered or to not buffered.

makes sense, the executable is from the LoRa device provider. Is there an easy workaround? thanks for the response!

You can allocate a pty and give that to the executable. Most programs use line buffered for a tty. Your program also does if you see immediate output if you run it directly from the shell.
