Then your wireless connection, prior to you authenticating, is passively redirecting all web requests (yahoo, etc.) to another page (I'm guessing their login page). Your browser notices that the encryption between you and "yahoo" (which is not Yahoo) is incorrect, and is notifying you. Same as if you were experiencing a man-in-the-middle attack. Better question: why haven't you contacted your school's IT? They're the gatekeepers. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Asked and Answered Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:08:02 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7126&msg_id=7129 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7126&msg_id=7127 Huh, so they have Firefox locked down? Or you're trying to use Firefox to get out from under the group policy-dictated proxy auto-configuration Javscript file for their network? I used to manage this sort of thing for my company. If I recall, the auto-conf script determined which sites were allowed to pass through the firewall, and which were required to pass through the network proxy. Larger organizations, and particularly schools that I used to manage, would use the Microsoft Active Directory server's group policy (applied to each user organization-wide) to force Internet Explorer to use a specific URL for their Javascript proxy auto-config file (PAC file). When using IE, the browser would the access the Javscript at that location, and behave according to the rules set forth in the PAC file. Clever students would figure this out, and then try to download Firefox so that they were out from under IE. Given that we were jerks, and wanted to teach the students the lesson that creativity doesn't pay, we actively denied any HTTP traffic that was not explicitly proxied through our chosen servers. This means that even if they figured out a way around the proxy or their group policy-enforced PAC file configuration, the network itself would prevent them from accessing inappropriate content. If your network admins are worth their salt, they should have locked this down as well. The most common way to get around this is a method called "tunneling," which takes traffic of one type and masquerades it as traffic of another type, with some third party entity arbitrating. This usually involves an encrypted SSH tunnel, which is also pretty easy to block if your network admins are paying attention. However, if you just want to configure Firefox to use your school's PAC file, these look like decent instructions. Set the Automatic Proxy Configuratoin URL to the same as what it is in IE, and you should be set.

Either something is weird with how I'm generating the feed and they are silently ignoring new entries, or, they aren't doing RSS feeds any more. Either way. If you're still interested in getting a wordcount update, the RSS feed is available here: http://arch.giterary.com/stats_rss.php?file=Skysail/Skysail_Prime/Bookmaking.collection As I like notifications on my phone for when this changes, I've actually plugged the feed into IFTTT, which just gives me notifications at least once every 15 minutes if the feed is updated. 215k words, at time of writing. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Sun, 23 Aug 2015 16:12:27 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6614&msg_id=7120 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7109&msg_id=7118 So, all things have been claimed so far.

Almost as big as a cruise ship, but fitting more a fishing or shipping purpose. Lots of metal piping and corrugated metal walkways. In this case, though, the ship is no long an industrial ship. It is instead a "university" ship, where all of the facilities have been converted into classrooms and lecture halls. Aside from a skeleton crew of workers and university staff, the ship is populated by college students. And, as students tend to be, they are incredibly lazy. Rather than walking up the stairways from student quarters to the classrooms, a few dozen board the freight elevator and ride it up. Students rush on to make it before the slow-moving elevator starts. "Oh hey, look at that ancient history." Somebody is playfully going through my wallet, and looking at my old student IDs as we ascend. "Yeah," is all I have to say in response. "Pretty old." Suddenly, there is a noise, and the freight elevator jolts. "What was that?" somebody asks. The sound from the elevator rises. "It's the last hop before a gymnast jumps," I say. Suddenly, a student leaning on a rail passes out. Then another, his eyes rolling back in his head. Something in the air, I think. Another one goes limp, and tumbles backward. I breathe in and hold my breath, and dive forward to try to catch them. I lose consciousness just as I catch them. ---- 2:26AM kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Perchance to Dream Thu, 09 Jul 2015 17:04:43 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7090&msg_id=7090 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7089&msg_id=7089 Slashdot article about how user interfaces affect 'old users'.

Or none of that would have happened, and I would have just told them that I liked looking for game reviews and walkthroughs on Gamespot.

And everything sucks. That said, I've had fairly good luck with AT&T around town. However, the hillside is sort of another story, particularly that side of the hill. Last I knew anything about it, AT&T has their one tower up near Bear Valley, and a lot of your coverage is determined by line of sight from there. Alternatives are GCI (who recently acquired ACS's wireless service) or Verizon. Verizon is relatively new. GCI tends to have the best in terms of speed, but their bandwidth caps are ridiculous. Not sure what you guys are used to in terms of streaming, etc., but most of GCI's plans have it where the speed of the cable modem can exhaust your monthly transfer cap within 2-3 days (running at full speed). ACS is the alternative, and is uncapped, but tends to be relatively slow. There is also Borealis Broadband, but they tend to cater to businesses and more exotic setups. However, I haven't done any research into if they've been getting into residential Internet since I dealt with them last. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Tue, 16 Jun 2015 13:26:20 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7073 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7070 Just a double-post.

The one I had, though cared for pretty well, had some serious planned obsolescence to it. The seal around the pump piston failed, so it wouldn't maintain any sort of pressure. It was cheaper to buy a new one. The new one we bought, however, was hilarious. It was a different type of sprayer, which rather than being a single, high-pressure hose, it was more like a big vacuum cleaner that just blew in reverse. Long story short: I put at least three coats of white paint on the walls in my grandmother's basement, far, far back in the back utility room. But the new paint sprayer moved enough air that I pretty much coated the entire floor of her basement (not just the utility room) with a sheen of white paint. And we didn't realize until, like, a day after it had dried and we could see the white speckles. My grandmother has glasses for both near and distance vision. And her knees bother her, so she can't really bend down to get a close look at anything on the floor. But damned if she didn't see those speckles. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Fri, 05 Jun 2015 15:57:53 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7039 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7034 Shared. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Fri, 05 Jun 2015 13:50:13 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7034 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7030 [...] kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Wed, 03 Jun 2015 17:45:39 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7030 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7022&msg_id=7026 WHY WERE YOU AT ALL AMBIGUOUS WITH YOUR ORIGINAL POST.
