Very interesting... I was just in China recently and was sshing into a box I had in the states for an impromptu SOCKS proxy. I did notice that things would work fine for up to an hour or so before things started bogging down. I would start seeing "channel x: open failed..." errors. However, closing the session and reconnecting would fix the problem... until it started lagging out again. I thought it was just a conseq…

I'm always brought up short when someone says/writes "24/7/365" because it really doesn't make sense. "24/7" means 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "24/365" means 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. "24/7/365" means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 weeks a year? I know, I know, it's become an idiom, and it's like "I could care less", and you can't try to understand it except as an atom that caries a meaning, but it…

? All of these statements are easily checked out by googling. Listing sources is a pointless formality. (not stating that I think they're all accurate, but I do agree with the overall point, and I am very equipped to investigate and adjust the details.)

"Has a rapidly adaptive culture, able to implement changes at a fast pace despite its immense scale." "A leader in freedom of speech, press freedom [...]" "Where you have more opportunities than in any other nation" Are these your idea of a self-evident statement?

sadly with RDP you cannot have same experience.it is not about 1 or 2 site , for example for me , my vpn connection is always on because there is not internet without it.but with RDP loging into another machine , with all lag you see , is almost impossible at least for power user like me which most of the time have 50+ tab open in chrome in site's like youtube , android dev doc's, etc.

Why nos havig a local cache like wwwoffle (someone has to reimplement such a thing) or squid? that way you won't need a connection just to browse a bunch of (mostly static?) html pages... just sayin'.

I was visiting China recently (my first time there). I thought bypassing The Great Firewall was going to be as simple as an "ssh -D" SOCKS setup, or a "ssh -w" tunnel. Oh boy, I was wrong. If you try this, or even a basic OpenVPN setup, you will quickly find out your VPN works fine for about 5 minutes, but then latency increases to 5sec, 10sec, 30sec(!), and then everything times out. After some research I read onlin…

Weird, was just there a month ago for two weeks and used https://www.expressvpn.com/ with no issue. I mostly cruised reddit / the internet so maybe there wasn't enough volume.

What business closes for a week out of a year? Are there businesses which are 24/7/50?

Well, where I work at is 24/7/51.
