Igy: Phaxx is emo too, ya know

After many users both layed claim to and denied their affiliation with the tag "emo", it has been decided that the wiki is the best Redbrick tool with which to lay the matter to rest. Here is a list of known emos on Redbrick and pics with which to both prove their "emoness" and identify/avoid them in the real world.

Although not showing some of the more classic emo signs this person never seems to be happy, and has almost never been recorded smiling. That, and his other somewhat "unusual" habits make him emo enough for this page.

Don't let this user's seemingly happy facade fool you, as this photo evidence proves her emoness. Also has a strange obsession with hugs.

Apart from the trademark frown, phaxx appears here to be taking an uncharacteristically feminine interest in hair, make-up and wearing womens clothing; all hallmarks of the emo.

Likes to mention the war - emo.

== undone ==
[[Image:Undone-emo.jpg]]

Photographical evidence of undone on the loose in the real world has proven hard to come by.
He has made it onto the list due to his constant claims to haircare prowess and threats to kill his parents in #lobby. Any better pictures may save the life of many an ill-educated DCU student should they approach him unaware of his "emoness" so, please act with the utmost urgency in passing these on.

Help:Editing

2006-09-29T15:50:46Z

Igy:

So you want some help on writing and editing articles on this wiki yea?

Please feel free to add new sections to this article or add stubs for possible sections.

==General Guidelines==

[[Help:Editing#Using Headings|Use Headings when you can]] and format [[Help:Editing#Mentioning other Redbrick Users|usernames correctly]].

''TBD''

==Using Headings==

If you're going to break down your article into sections or your article is just a bunch of different lists then you need to use headings.

First, you dont' need to place the article title in a heading. It's already at the top of the page. If your unhappy with the title, rename the article.

Headings are done by surrounding the title of the heading with '='. The more of them, the deeper the heading. To elaborate, your basic heading should be in this format:

<nowiki>==A Main Heading==</nowiki>

Now if you want a sub heading underneath that you would use:

<nowiki>===A Sub Heading===</nowiki>

Use headings when ever you can because MediaWiki will generate a nice table of contents to browse your article. Headings also provide a way to shortcut to a particular section in your article.

==Lists==

Creating a list is easy. Place a '*' at the very beginning of a line i.e. no spaces before the asterix. Example:

* List1
* List2
* List3

The above list is generated by using this wiki code:

* List1
* List2
* List3

==Mentioning other Redbrick Users==

When you mention another redbrick user you should link to their home topic. For example, if you wanted to mention the user cammy, you should write it like this:

<nowiki>[[User:Cammy|cammy]]</nowiki>

This will generate a link/text like this: [[User:Cammy|cammy]]. Only Redbrick users can sign in to this wiki so it should be safe to do this.

==Displaying raw text==

If you want to put a snippet of code or add text without it being automatically formatted by the wiki you can do this easily by putting a single space at the beginning of each line.

This is some raw text.

You can also use MediaWiki syntax to disable formatting:

<nowiki><nowiki>Do not format this text Mr. Wiki</nowiki></nowiki>

==Linking==

Linking to other articles is very easy. Just place two square brackets around the name of the article:

<nowiki>[[Wookie]]</nowiki>

You can get a little fancy and use different text. For example if you want the link to say "an article about wookies" instead of Wookie, you would use this syntax:

<nowiki>[[Wookie|an article about wookies]]</nowiki>

If you want to link to another website you can simply use the full URI (including the http). For example: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie. But like an article link, you can use different text. The only difference is that you use only one set of square brackets and you use a space instead of a pipe ('|'). Example:

<nowiki>[http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie The coolest networking society ever]</nowiki>

This would give: [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie The coolest networking society ever]

==Renaming articles==
For the thickos amongst us (me, Gavin) if you want to rename an article click on the move link at the top when logged in. Enter the new name, eh Voila !

This is Redbrick wishlist of projects that could do with coding.

==Replacement for hey==

* Er, without some kind of requirements, it's hard to understand why this is needed? What are you thinking of here? -- [[User:Pooka|Pooka]]
* How about "Addition" to hey, or an alternative framework to allow heys to be sent to different places (web, MSN/AIM window) -- [[User:Kpodesta|Kpodesta]]
* Maybe build it on top of jabber then we could hey people on other servers/networks (including google talk etc ) -- [[User:kyper|kyper]]

==Web boards==

* Currently under development by [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~art_wolf/rb/FUDforum2 art_wolf] (PHP), [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~link/news link] (perl) and [[User:Shimoda|Shimoda]] (Java). -- JohnDoyle - 20 Jul 2005

====features of links [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~link/news RedbrickNews]====
*threading
*ability to view only unread posts in group
*ability to view all posts in group
*two way sync of read posts (post read on web marked as read in slrn,posts read in slrn marked read on web)
*displays only groups you are subscribed to in slrn
*basic rot13 support
*article posting
*article canceling
*newsgroup search (support [http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html lucene] syntax)

Useful features implemented upon request to [[link]]

==Simple interface to Redbrick==

* For instance Flin/Flash or a seperate app, in java or c++. Shimoda suggested an app and have tabs to chat, the boards, heys etc. -- JohnDoyle - 20 Jul 2005
* If there's going to be a seperate app it should not be in favour of flin/flash but a seperate interface, again. I think a full web solution would cover a GUI but if people are interested in a seperate GUI then fire ahead with it. More options == better in the end of the day. -- [[User:Halenger|Halenger]]
* A java interface would be nice, perhaps a java program, tabbed, that opens 4 connections; slrn, irssi, and 2 terminals, one for heys, one 'standard' rb commands. Is there a wrapper for putty's SSH library? -[[User:igy|igy]]

SSH Port Forwarding

2006-03-27T16:39:09Z

Igy: Port forwarding through RB, linux guide

(Submitted by [[User:nit|nit]], pasted & edited by [[User:Igy|igy]])

==Why?==
One example of why port forwarding is great is security.
Downloading email and browsing the Internet in such a way that the immediate (local) network does not know what you are doing. All it sees is encrypted SSH traffic, like that used when you type on [RedBrick] normally.

Thus you can (a little more) securely access your stuff stuff from wireless hotspots
or from other insecure or filtered networks.

The example being given is to use your redbrick account to port forward data to the
dcu proxy. You can then configure local applications to use the tunnel
rather than the usual route.

==Theory==
One good online guide is: http://neworder.box.sk/newsread.php?newsid=12498
and if you read this you should be able to deduce the basics of how SSH works with port forwarding.

==How To do it==

===Windows===
TODO: write this -[[User:igy|igy]]

===Linux===

If you read the neworder guide above you should have a good idea of how to build the SSH command for the forwarding, like so:
ssh -L 1337:proxy.dcu.ie:8080 login.redbrick.dcu.ie

Where :
* -L specifies you want to link a local port
* 1337 is the local port (on your machine) you want to communicate on.
* proxy.dcu.ie is the server you want to send your tunnelled traffic to.
* 8080 is the port on that server you want to send your tunnelled traffic to.
* login.redbrick.dcu.ie is the server you want to open the SSH connection to

For example, to tunnel local port 1337 to the SOCKS proxy on proxy3.dcu.ie through deathray:
ssh -L 1337:proxy3.dcu.ie:1080 deathray.redbrick.dcu.ie

Here we see that we specify the proxy definitively, and use the port that we
would evetually negotiate (for those of you is res try running Ethereal, you will
see what I mean). We also use a specific redbrick server, DeathRay for our port
forwarding (I'm not privy to RB network setup, it just works). You can also add the ''-v'' option to specify 'verbose' mode and see the port being opened and closed for your tunnelled traffic.

Try running netstat locally and and you should see 1337 sitting there happily.
So now you have it all set up, congratulations! Now, how do you use it? Easy!
Open up your browser and change the proxy settings to localhost:1337, you
will then be using the local port to forward traffic to the DCU proxy, the same
applies to your mail program.

Note this only encrypts your traffic to and from Redbrick, so anyone listening
on the wifi hotspot you are using will just see garbage going to DCU (figures),
anyone listening to DCU traffic from the proxy can still see you stuff, the moral
being â€don't go downloading donkey pornâ€ DCU will still be out to get you, etc.
So, thats it, enjoy you new found 1337ness.

niT.
