Re: Mirror mirror on the wall...

If you use ssh regularly you might know about reverse ssh proxys, meaning you could have the pi connect to a vm or other server, and from there, back to the pi whenever you need to. Check the following gists I use on a regular basis: ssh-tunnel.sh https://gist.github.com/niofis/a1407f7755b76d13d360 ...

Re: TOEFL

About watching shows in english, I'll have to start soon. Usually all the shows I watch are in spanish or subtitled, and there are no "only in english" shows on tv here, I'll have to look on the Internet. What I have been doing, is listening to podcasts, mainly TR's. By the way you guys (T...

Besides, some Universities are actually taking less importance on GRE sco...
