Recommended Posts

[Newbie in the house]

Well the topic-title says it . I want to set/start a proxy on my server so my Sis's client PC can connect Internet. On windown .. oops windoze.. damit.. windows Xp i used AnologX Proxy. So, what can i use for Linux .

Also , i am guessing there must be Proxy app in RH9 CDs (i hav all three) .. If yes , please tell.

Kyro :) .

OK i think i shuld make the scenario more clear. or maybe i want to bump .. maybe both

here is the deal:-

I hav 2 NICS on my PC (Server). Intel {Nic1} and Dlink {Nic2}. NIC1 is connected to net through cable Modem. Nic 2 is connected peer to peer on Client pc which has realtek Nic.

After running AnalogX proxys server. i goto client, use lan confiiguration in IE to configure my proxy address and browse net from there.

thats the whole deal i want to Emulate on Redhat 9 (server) and Mandrake 9.1/WindowsServer2003 (client).

And will Redhats ICS work here. should try it ..BRB

Yes what your trying to do can be done with Redhat - and everything you need is on the 3 CDs. But have you thought of just buying a dsl/cable router? They can be found for less than $50 US

The setup will be simple, you will no longer be tied to having to have one machine on for another to access the net. Which will allow for you to play with different OSs reboot at will, leave machine down for extended periods while playing with it, etc.. etc.. You will be more secure, since only ports you say to be open will be forwarded to any of the machines on your lan.

If still looking to get the speed boost and logging you can get from running a proxy - this still can be done, etc.. etc..

I would think that anyone that can afford high speed access, and multiple machines - should be able to afford a router.

Budman , your are very right ...

To answer .. ya i can afford router .. but always think Should I , Do i really need it , Is it over kill , and after some wise words from friends and pals like you .. get it :) .. will tell u how it goes ;)

Prob solved guys. I am an absolute Newbie (in terms of installing , bash commands , configuring servies , loading services, configuring firewall and all this things) .

I struggled real hard with IP tables and Squid (using webmin). But my Friend (a linux guru) came to my house .. removed Iptables and Installed IP chains , then he telnet-downloaded a Ip mascareding script and configured the eTH's(Nic) settings. Viola ! .. *SWEET* .. my Sis can browse net through the other machine now. without a proxy man.

Man , was he (my friend) smoking bash commands in front of me .. I hav so much to learn.

Kyro. :) (smiles and lives happily after)Two bombs, not one, went off in BEST bus number 340 at Ghatkopar last night, the Mumbai police suspect.

?Early evidence suggests one of the bombs was hidden below the last seat on the right side and the other beneath the last seat on the left,? said Senior Police Inspector Jalinder Khandagale of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad.

The question on their minds now is how the blast perpetrators succeeded in detonating the two explosives at the same moment, Khandagale said.

Bombs identical to those in Vile Parle, Mulund blasts

Two people died in yesterday?s explosion in a BEST bus on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, Ghatkopar, while over 30 were injured.

Senior Police Inspector Jalinder Khandagale of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) said the bombs used were improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which had also been used in the Vile Parle blast on January 27 and the Mulund train explosion on March 13 this year.

Ghatkopar bomb blast: Photo Essay

IEDs are sophisticated bombs manufactured from commonly available chemicals, namely, potassium chlorate, potassium nitrate, potassium permanganate and ammonium nitrite, which act as an ?oxidiser.? Materials like sulphur, aluminum powder, arsenic sulphide, charcoal and sugar in finely powdered form act as ?fuel? for the oxidiser.

The ?oxidiser? and ?fuel? are mixed in an equal ratio to form an explosive mixture. Concentrated sulphuric acid is used to initiate the explosive charge.

Another BDDS officer said, ?Ammonium nitrate and gelatin sticks seem to be among the components of the bomb. We have handed over the burned articles from the blast site to the forensics department. The report will be complete today.?

The BDDS, however, is not yet sure of the splinters used in yesterday?s explosion.

?The rear of the bus was completely destroyed due to the explosion, but the middle and front were not badly damaged. Yet the intensity of the explosion was such that a motorcylist following the bus was thrown 15 feet away by its sheer force,? Khandagale pointed out.

    • Meta is now using every possible source to power its data centers by Hamid Ganji Chip shortage is not the only obstacle hindering AI development. The insatiable thirst for electricity from data centers has caused serious problems for tech giants, to the point where they have been forced to invest heavily in purchasing nuclear power plants. However, green and renewable energy could also serve as an alternative power source for data centers. As reported by Reuters, Meta has signed four deals with Renewable energy developer Invenergy to supply 791 megawatts (MW) of solar and wind power for its data centers. This is the second green deal between Meta and Invenergy to supply renewable energy to Meta's data centers, following the firms' signing of contracts last year for 760 MW of solar electricity. According to Invenergy, the latest deal soars Meta's renewable energy purchases to 1,800 MW. The green energy will come from Invenergy's projects in Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas. While renewable energy has a more limited capacity compared to methods like nuclear power, it still holds significant potential to meet some of the data center's energy needs. Moreover, investing in renewable energy aligns with Big Tech's net-zero plans. Last year, Meta announced a request for proposals (RFP) to identify nuclear energy developers in the United States. The company plans to generate 1-4 gigawatts (GW) of new nuclear power by early 2030. Also, in June this year, Meta and energy company Constellation announced plans to revive an aging nuclear power plant in Illinois that has been shut down since 2017 due to financial losses. Meta could rely on this nuclear power plant for the next 20 years. While some major tech companies were committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, the soaring power demands from AI data centers could render all those green plans obsolete. That is why these companies have called for reforms to net-zero rules, as achieving their ambitious net-zero goals by 2040 seems highly unlikely.
    • Mozilla fixes Firefox crashes on startup and other issues by Taras Buria Just two days after releasing Firefox 140 to the Release channel, Mozilla is dropping a small update to address two bugs in version 140. Firefox 140.0.1 is now available for download, addressing crashes on startup and issues with contrast in the sidebar when using dark themes (black text appears on dark backgrounds, making it impossible to read). Here is the changelog that Mozilla published in the official documentation: Fixed text contrast issues in the sidebar with some dark themes. (Bug 1971487) Fixed a startup crash experienced by some users caused by DLL injection. (Bug 1973947) You can update Firefox to the latest version by heading to Menu > Help > About Firefox. Alternatively, you can get it from the official website or the Microsoft Store (Windows 10 and 11). In case you missed it, Firefox 140 arrived on June 24. It introduced several important changes, including the ability to resize the pinned tab section when using vertical tabs (more upgrades are coming to the browser in this area), custom search engine support, tab unloading via right-click, various security fixes, and more. The update also removed the Pocket toolbar icon and the Pocket integration on the new tab page. Mozilla recently killed Pocket and Fakesport in order to focus more on its main product, the Firefox browser. You can find full release notes for Firefox 140.0.1 in our dedicated article.
    • I really don't get why Outer Worlds 2 is being brought into conversation so often. In Romania: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 1 launched at 80 euros on EPIC, FOUR YEARS AGO and then at 80 euros on Steam sometime later. Black Ops 6 last year? 80 euros. DOOM The Dark Ages? It launched at 80 euros. "Xbox Game Studios’ first game out of the gates with the increased price" => literally the 3rd Xbox studio title with that pricing for me. They can all get bent.
    • MSFT it's getting stupid under Satya Nadella's management. Instead of dogfooding their own technology like WinUI3 they insist in pushing this web garbage packed of copilot malware. As an old enthusiast of MSFT since 90's I'm almost becoming a hater of MSFT because of suck kind of stupid decisions like these. 1) Pushing copilot hard on it's user's thought, every time and e everywhere. 2) Instead of favoring it's own NATIVE UI framework like WinUI or .NET MAUI (poor maui) to showcase the market they are very confident about their software development tools, no they just to what's easier for them and completely ignore it's user's feedback. My guess is that pretty soon they will figure it out that AI won't be all that big thing and when they realize the colossal investments that they made on AI would better served if they invested in their own .NET frameworks.
