Concentrate on work when you have personal problems.. | simplemartin: Hi.I have been through this myself. It's not easy concentrating on work when something really messy has happened. I started to exercise a lot. Really pushing my body. That was good for me and kept me on the right track. |
Any remote PC rental service? | dryicerx: I don't know of any such service, but the same task can be completed by allowing a select set of users to test it. Have users sign up for the alpha/beta tests and ask for their hardware config, out of the ones that apply, select a set that best diversify the configurations. |

How would you tunnel through GFW? | BR: Once a new method is found, people will flood to it, then it will be noticed, and banned. Since GFW was created, this process happened repeatedly. So IMHO, there's no silver bullet. |
How would you tunnel through GFW? | neilc: TOR still works fine -- you just need to configure it to use bridges. https://www.torproject.org/bridges |
How would you tunnel through GFW? | dryicerx: Their blocking vpn and ssh even on non standard ports?Don't know much about the Great Firewall, but I usually keep a SSH server listening on port 80 on a box, sometimes those hotels and company networks don't let anything other than port 80 outbound, and it has yet to fail me. |
How would you tunnel through GFW? | est: All bypass methods can be categorized into two:1. Methods that requires a 3rd-party server2. Methods that do NOT requires a 3rd-party serverCurrently mainland underground hackers focus on methods #2, and as far as I know 3 POC works fine through GFW on OSI level 3, 4, and 7, unless the target is an IP ban. |

Concentrate on work when you have personal problems.. | antirez: It's probably better to stop working for a while, try to fix the problems, and back to work. But it's way too subjective I guess. For instance for me the only problems that are really problems are health problems, all the rest is for definition trivially fixable by evolving yourself or by pragmatic steps. |
