So, my 2009 MacBook Pro decided to slowly die … and after dithering for about 3 years over what to buy to replace it …. I chose a Google Pixelbook (i7 variant, 500Gb NVME disk etc) (via eBay)…..
So, my 2009 MacBook Pro decided to slowly die … and after dithering for about 3 years over what to buy to replace it …. I chose a Google Pixelbook (i7 variant, 500Gb NVME disk etc) (via eBay).
Here are some findings …
I’m toying with the idea of replacing ChromeOS with a native Linux install; but I’ve not yet seen enough evidence to suggest that it’ll work well.
Hopefully the Campfire project will have a release soon …. Until then I’ll be watching https://www.reddit.com/r/pixelbook etc

I needed a variant of Squid which supported transparent SSL interception (i.e via iptables redirection) so I could log outgoing HTTPS requests without the client being aware.
The stock wheezy variant doesn’t support SSL (see : Debian Bug Report).
Even after recompiling Wheezy’s squid3 it didn’t seem to work (perhaps my stupidity) so I ended up moving to the latest-and-greatest squid (3.4.9 at the time of writing) and getting that to work. Brief notes follow.

Need to set a HTTP proxy within a Debian system ?
Assuming your proxy server is on 192.168.0.1 and listening on port 3128, then the below may help …
( If you need authentication you can use username:password@ like you would in an old style web browser – e.g. http://username:password@192.168.0.1:3128. )
Add /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh
containing
export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:3128
Add /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99HttpProxy
containing
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.0.1:3128";
Edit /etc/wgetrc
and add
http_proxy = http://192.168.0.1:3128
(some system commands rely on wget, and may not otherwise use an environment variable, e.g. debootstrap; the http_proxy setting should be present by default but commented out).
(This is all, in a round about way, relayed to the http proxy security vulnerability announced in July 2016 – see httpoxy.org for more info)
Product – D54250WYK / boxd54250wykh3 – via e.g. Ballicom or eBuyer
It’s an Intel i5 4250U processor (dual core, laptop processor). Supports up to 16gb of RAM and the Intel 5000 graphics thing in it.
The box itself is really small – and silent. A laptop size hard disk can fit into it (2.5″ hdd).

Good things –
