Root Access

So, you're sitting at home on your laptop, with a dynamic IP, but you want to make your VPS, which has a static IP, act as a forward proxy for your home connection so you don't get junk ads from your ISP...

var firstName

wait..

skeith

^ the public ip of my laptop?

allquicatic

2:04 PM

Why not just download OpenVPN and use that to completely hide your ass from your ISP?

skeith

@allquicatic yes

var firstName

@skeith literally download any VPN

@skeith or use Tor

allquicatic

yeah, squid is definitely a suboptimal tool for this job

var firstName

Yup

skeith

@allquicatic I already have several way to evade the junk (airvpn, some local vpn free ip proxy) I just need an alternative when those fails

allquicatic

2:05 PM

and the fact that your server has a static IP means you could (if you really wanted) do TLS with a domain (without dynamic DNS) on squid

but OpenVPN is still better

var firstName

@skeith just get ABP + Browsec and you should be good to go

skeith

can we make a ip:port porxy with ovpn ?

why i want ip:port proxy, is because I want to use it with my auto switch proxy manager

which only use the proxy when connecting to blocked sites (reddit, imgur, vimeo)

skeith

looks like i am catching a cold

doesn't feel well

I'll be right back, taking a nap

allquicatic

@skeith OpenVPN isn't an HTTP proxy; it operates at the TCP/IP layer and completely routes your whole Internet connection through the VPN.

though, honestly, you could very simply make a viable Squid proxy just using SSH tunneling to your server

skeith

2:09 PM

@allquicatic I know, I just wondering if OVPN has thing that I do not know (have used ovpn previously)

allquicatic

you could have Squid listen only on IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and use Putty to forward the port to your laptop

skeith

@allquicatic tried that years ago, slow as hell

allquicatic

that'd work fine and it'd be secure, especially if you have password-based authentication disabled in OpenSSH on the server

skeith

< poor fellow

good night guys

allquicatic

@skeith set the SSH compression enabled and set the encryption to arcfour (RC4) -- it's slightly less secure but far faster

var firstName

2:10 PM

@skeith makeuseof.com/tag/create-online-proxy-server-minutes

skeith

@varfirstName ah, your link is truncated

DeNiSkA

can anyone one say how do i change the path of command prompt?

var firstName

click on it

it works

skeith

i thought that was a broken link

@DeNiSkA cd ?

DeNiSkA

?

allquicatic

2:11 PM

@DeNiSkA Your question doesn't make any sense. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

skeith

cd folder/subfolder/

var firstName

@DeNiSkA the command cd or chdir should work

just do chdir [folder] or cd [folder]

skeith

to change drive type the drive letter and colon

DavidPostill

Remember to use cd /d directory if directory is not on the current drive.

DeNiSkA

`C:\Users\deniska>cdC:\Program Files (x86)
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.`

var firstName

2:13 PM

@DavidPostill thank's for the pro-tip, man

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

oh. I do <drive>: to change drives

you need quotes

var firstName

@DeNiSkA add quotes around C:\Program Files (x86)

allquicatic

@DeNiSkA Code::blocks isn't a compiler; it's an IDE. I think the installer might download MinGW for you automatically, but if not, you can download MinGW and make Code::blocks aware of it; follow the wiki: wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_a_supported_compiler

var firstName

DAMN IT NINJA'D

DavidPostill

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere and a space after cd

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

2:14 PM

heh heh good point David!

DavidPostill

@DeNiSkA cd "C:\Program Files (x86) "

skeith

cd "Program Files (x86)"

var firstName

@DeNiSkA: you could also type cd %ProgramFiles(x86)%

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

nooooo are you sure that exists

DeNiSkA

yeah it worked

allquicatic

2:14 PM

I'm frankly worried about someone trying to write code with SFML who doesn't know how to change directory in a command prompt

but then what do I know... I'm just a practicing software engineer :\

2

var firstName

@allquicatic SFML?

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

dang it works firstName I didn't know that, I thought the only way to get x86 using the environment variable is by calling from a 32bit app

allquicatic

@varfirstName sfml-dev.org

it's kind of like SDL

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

@DeNiSkA are you a girl?

var firstName

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere It's part of the PATH, a system env. var. You can call it from literally any application, including ~~~ chrome (testing now, not confirmed) ~~~

DeNiSkA

2:16 PM

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere yup

DavidPostill

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere Warning. RA is not a dating site. We also don't like people asking gender related questions or making gender related comments.

var firstName

@DavidPostill It was most likely out of curiosity, not lust. I'm sure he meant nothing

DeNiSkA

lol

var firstName

!!s/ ~~~ chrome (testing now, not confirmed) ~~~/ --- chrome (testing now, not confirmed) ---/

DavidPostill

@varfirstName His past behaviour suggests otherwise.

Aug 10 at 3:41, by Journeyman Geek

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere I'm not supposed to threaten. I do feel that its essential that you realise that this is not a dating service, and trying to chat up people of any gender is entirely inappropriate.

var firstName

2:20 PM

Y U NO WORK, SED?

DavidPostill

That's why I gave him a warning reminder.

var firstName

@DavidPostill oh, carry on with your pro-active arbitration. no offense, @CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

allquicatic

Sometimes being proactive is fine when there's a previously-established history ;p

var firstName

@allquicatic I understand that.

allquicatic

we should all change our names to end in "a" so he'll ask all of us if we're a girl ;p allquicatica, Doga, Boba, JourneywomanGeek... rofl

actually the organism in my gravatar picture is female

my RL cat is a girl

var firstName

2:24 PM

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere What are you, roman?!

I guess that means that his actions are romantic

allquicatic

@varfirstName that's such an awful pun that I'm not even going to star it

Pffft.. r00d

Hmm

I guess 4 stars is good enough for the 1.5h i've spent on SU today

yo guys

@varfirstName Yep.

Attila

Attila (/ˈætᵻlə/ or /əˈtɪlə/; fl. circa 406–453), frequently referred to as Attila the Hun, was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in March 453. Attila was a leader of the Hunnic Empire, a tribal confederation consisting of Huns, Ostrogoths, and Alans among others, on the territory of Central and Eastern Europe. During his reign, he was one of the most feared enemies of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. He crossed the Danube twice and plundered the Balkans, but was unable to take Constantinople. His unsuccessful campaign in Persia was followed in 441 by an invasion of the Eastern...

I'm stuck in the early 2010s; I don't think VR is worthwhile

also, 480kb of RAM should be enough for everybody

var firstName

@allquicatic That sounds like ~~2004~~ 1984

allquicatic

@varfirstName ? at least 64 or 128 MB of RAM was common by then...

DavidPostill

Andrea, Battista, Elia, Enea, Evangelista, Luca, Mattia or Nicola are all italian male names.
Asa Philip Hall is an English footballer.
Dana is also a male name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_(given_name)#Male

Need I go on? ...

allquicatic

@DavidPostill that's funny because when I think of the name "Asa" I can't help but think "she must be hot"

DavidPostill

Asa (name)

Asa is a given name in several parts of the world. Asa (אסא/'ay-sah/): derived from the Hebrew language, as the name appears in the Old Testament to designate the third King of Judah, who reigned for forty years. It became a popular name because of the influence of the Puritans in the 17th century. Asa: Hebrew means healer and/or physician, Ase. Åsa (pronounced "o-sa"): Swedish is one of the most ancient of Nors names with reference to Æsir which means Goddess. Asa (pronounced "asha"): a Yoruba language word which means or refers to the 'Eagle' bird. Asa (pronounced "aa-saa"): an Igbo Nigerian...

allquicatic

2:42 PM

> which means Goddess.

that must be why

@varfirstName there's also NetSpot

DavidPostill

@allquicatic There is one pron star in the wikipedia list of asa names :)

var firstName

Why did we need to know that, David?

allquicatic

@DavidPostill I wouldn't have any reason to think of that particular individual when thinking on the name. None at all.

@DavidPostill how do you write a new line without sending the message you've written so far

allquicatic

@varfirstName To quote something, start your message with space> replacing space with a literal space, then put a space after the > also. To put multiple lines in a single message, press Shift+Enter.

var firstName

Thank you.

> Thank you!
So much

allquicatic

You can't put any other formatting in a multi-line message other than making it a code block, though; you can't go italics or bold or ~~strikethrough~~ in a multi-line

you can press Ctrl+A Ctrl+K to code format a multi-line message though

How do you end a quote within the same msg?
