[20:54] <aedend> I've been logged into several channels for a while. I've noticed on some of them my nick was highlighted. Is there an easy way to see where I was highlighted without scrolling thru hours of buffer?
[20:59] <cyberanger> aedend: not sure in hexchat
[21:02] <aedend> cyberanger, I found this script for hexchat. It prints the highlights to a new tab. https://github.com/TingPing/plugins/blob/master/HexChat/highlight.py
[21:05] <aedend> cyberanger, btw, how did you know I was using hexchat??
[21:06] <cyberanger> lol
[21:06] <cyberanger>  /ctcp aedend version
[21:07] <aedend> cool, so you like the command line eh?
[21:07] <cyberanger> yeah
[21:07] <cyberanger> perhaps too much
[21:07] <aedend> I installed weechat, but man, so many options... I got a little overwhelmed
[21:08] <cyberanger> It's a good client
[21:09] <aedend> so is weechat the new irssi?
[21:10] <cyberanger> It's a nice client, but irssi is still in active development too
[21:10] <cyberanger> so I don't want to say it like that
[21:11] <aedend> do you use Ubuntu or do you use another distro?
[21:12] <cyberanger> Personally I use Debian Sid
[21:12] <cyberanger> with some stuff being experimental
[21:13] <aedend> so that version never really gets released then?
[21:16] <cyberanger> Yeah, it's above the releases
[21:22] <cyberanger> It gets new versions, then those versions get pushed down to testing, and again to stable
[21:24] <aedend> ah, I see
[21:29] <cyberanger> So I'm ahead of the releases
[21:30] <aedend> do you not worry about not having a stable computer to work when needed?
[21:30] <cyberanger> between that and how I barely have a UI, the ubuntu advantages vanished releases ago
[21:30] <cyberanger> No, cause I keep it stable
[21:30] <cyberanger> just not debian stable
[21:31] <cyberanger> I stay on top of my changes, rarely does that cause an isuse
[21:31] <cyberanger> issue*
[21:32] <aedend> do you use w3m or something similar for browsing the web?
[21:34] <cyberanger> I tend to keep to iceweasel
[21:34] <cyberanger> I have elinks too
[21:35] <cyberanger> HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript, AdBlock Plus and Foxyproxy Standard are my goto addons
[21:38] <aedend> why not use firefox, since they're basically the same?
[21:41] <cyberanger> It is the same, aside from the apt repository they come from, and branding
[21:41] <cyberanger> It's just part of keeping the sources.list small
[21:45] <aedend> I use privoxy, is foxyproxy basically the same thing?
[21:55] <cyberanger> No, privoxy is a seperate tool, an http proxy (and a nice one too)
[21:56] <cyberanger> foxyproxy is an addon, allows for fine grained control, I use it to tell a few URI's to go through a british proxy for the BBC iPlayer, ITV and Channel 4 too
[21:56] <cyberanger> and an Austrailian one for Channel 7
[21:57] <Unit193> cyberanger: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4196776/
[21:57] <cyberanger> And when I leave the US, to access Hulu, Pandora, Netflix and CBS from abroad
[21:58] <cyberanger> Unit193: Another Bourne movie
[21:59] <cyberanger> eh, at least it's Matt Damon again, still feels worn out though
[22:01] <cyberanger> aedend: Guessing you don't watch any foreign shows
[22:01] <Unit193> Yes, at least Matt Damon!
[22:03] <aedend> cyberanger, I don't watch much tv
[22:08] <cyberanger> aedend: I don't like I used to, but I still enjoy breaking geo filtering schemes
[22:14] <cyberanger> Just for the fun of it
[22:14] <aedend> cyberanger, when using foxyproxy, which proxy service do you use?
[22:15] <cyberanger> I tend to set my own up on VPS providers lately, and even that's starting to have issues
[22:16] <cyberanger> alot of the ip classification providers have started flagging datacenters
[22:16] <cyberanger> and hence, hulu and most of the others call them anomyous tools and block them
[22:16] <aedend> is this something I could use?  http://www.publicproxyservers.com/proxy/list1.html
[22:17] <cyberanger> pandora appears to be the most lax, and channel 7 seems to do little too, in part becuase there isn't too many providers in Australia and the issue isn't as common for them yet
[22:18] <cyberanger> Looking at it, that's a list of web proxies
[22:18] <cyberanger> https://getfoxyproxy.org/proxylists.html
[22:19] <cyberanger> http://www.xroxy.com/proxylist.htm
[23:32] <aedend> cyberanger, does using foxyproxy slow down your connection speed?
[23:41] <cyberanger> No, not on it's own
[23:42] <cyberanger> Routing my connection thru a server in Zambia, with or without foxyproxy will slow it down though
