5/18    On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
        proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
        http://tv.yahoo.com and so on.  It has been working fine for a long while.
        However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
        several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
        minutes.  I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine.  Rebooting

8/19    Is there such a thing as a IMAP->POP proxy? I want to use Gmail on
        a server that only supports IMAP, and Gmail only connects to POP.

2/5     hmm.
$netstat -at | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:43300                 *:*                     LISTEN
        \_ this is an sshd
tcp        0      0 *:49416                 *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:36201                 *:*                     LISTEN

11/12   How does one find out if a system has rootkit installed?
        \_ Unix or m$?
           \_ Unix. On M$ I always assume it's compromised.
              \_ Install Tripwire before you plug your server into The Net?
                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

7/4     Is there a web browser available on soda?  My employer has a firewall
        blocking some web sites.
        \_ How about setting up a web proxy on Soda?
          \_ Use links :)
                \_ lynx?
        \_ Best text only web browser is elinks, it even supports some
	...

5/7     Help, I think something's wrong with my network setting. I'd go to
        a web site, and then it would say "cannot find address". Then I'd
        reload again, occassionally 3 times, to load the page. Is this
        due to DNS being too slow, TTL setting, or something else?
        \_ windows mac or linux ?
           \_ windows (company issued laptop, no alternative)

3/27    i just want to set up a proxy.  squid is too annoying.  privoxy
        locks too much content down.  any tips ?
        \_ Use ssh's built-in SOCKS server.  On the client, run "ssh -D1080
           proxyhost", and then set your browser to use localhost:1080 as a
           SOCKS proxy.
           \_ best advice. Fuck squid. SSH has everything.
	...

1/26    is there a Firefox extension that lets me change what
        proxy I am connected to?  Foxyproxy appears to not redirect
        in several circumstances.
        \_yes.
          \_ oh you're back.
          \_ if you have to ask you don't know (and we're not telling)

12/6    I got my g1 phone to provide my laptop with internet access.
        It wasn't too painful.
        \_ throw enough money at a problem and it gets solved
        \_ was it real protocol-independent internet access, or were you just
           using the phone as a web proxy?
           \_ Tetherbot on the g1 creates a socks proxy
