Ah, it’s a similar sort of thing to accessing a VM via localhost. Makes sense, I should have pieced that together. Thanks for the info!

ProxyCap, and yes, even though the application and website look like they haven't been updated since 2004. I have a bandwidth limit on the server I'm using as a tunnel so I'd rather do it per-application than proxy my entire internet connection and burn all my bandwidth on torrents of, um, Linux distro images.

It's basically a program that lets you set up firewall-style rules to route some or all of application's network traffic through a proxy server (or an SSH tunnel too apparently, but I've never messed with that). It's useful for applications that don't have the ability to be configured to use a proxy server...or if you really want to get into the weeds you can configure rules to only route an application's traffic to specific domains or types of connections through the proxy. In my case I'd like to route my web browsing and most of my other general traffic through a proxy, but I'm also seeding those Debian distros, so I don't want to just route all of my traffic through the proxy and zap its bandwidth. So I've got Chrome and some other programs configured to use the proxy from directly within the applications themselves, and for those that don't have that option, I just set up a rule in ProxyCap to route their traffic through the proxy server.

I used to work at a large international company with a notoriously stupid information security department. They blocked github and sourceforge because they were "hacking related". But despite quarterly account rights audits they didn't know one of the SQL Server clusters was running with Domain Admin credentials. Typical case of straining gnats and swallowing camels. So to be able to actually do my job (and read SA) I had a Raspberry Pi at home which ran Squid and a SOCKS proxy, then tunneled those connections over ssh. Of course port 22 was blocked outside the internal network, so I set the sshd up to run on port 443 which allowed me to wriggle past the corporate proxy.

I work in gas/energy and we have PDFs with passwords/access codes for all services/systems. Also corporate CCs are line items in the sales system to attach to purchase orders. Woot! I've stated my stance on this poo poo many times over the years and distance myself and secure my departments stuff 'out of spec' much to annoyance of other department heads. Not my loving problem!

Yeah, this is how it was where I worked for like 10 years a huge multinational company, and one day the forums were blocked. So I emailed IT and said that SHSC was basically another stackoverflow that I used all the time and they turned the forums back on for me.

I think there was a time where I couldn't get to the forums at work. I was figuring out how I could try to ssh into a box at home and use lynx to view the forums until they started working again. I think one of the greybeards there must have also been a goon and convinced someone to unblock them.

This dropped earlier in the week on Netflix. It’s a six part series that is really well put together and covers a great deal of videogame history from the 70’s to the mid-90’s. Hopefully there will be a second season that covers the rest up to modern times. Lotta great pixel art animation segues, too. The voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, is the narrator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jopG1wX88

Agreed that was cool; it actually made me a little sad to finally understand what Demoscene people who criticized others for not being "professional" meant; never in a million years would I have understood that actually creating and editing samples for your songs, instead of just taking them from other songs, was so profoundly different and better. I even wanted to have a keyboard and hook it up to my computer to get samples, but the knowledge base was way too hard for a random Midwestern child to ever really understand. Mostly unrelated, I was just thinking when watching that Mini-DVD video about what a magical era of nostalgic retrotech YouTube we are in, as multiple characters times a week you will get new stuff from LGR, TechMoan, 8-Bit Guy (the holy trinity), and surely dozens of other also-rad community people. Granted, it is possible the future is just an endless parade of new YouTube personalities retreading similar retro ground into infinity, but I like to take time to appreciate how awesome the present is sometimes. Even when the entire world is collapsing

VideoNOW and minidvd were both terrible. Optical media just makes no sense for a device that's intended to be held in your hands. That's why this is the superior format: Solid state, compact, tough enough to shove in your pocket without a case, and you can fit two full movies on it in spectacular quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsIW9Y6Sfc
