    • ssh to remote, forwarding some remote port to your local ssh port (-R)
    • ssh from remote through the exposed port, starting socks proxy in the process (-D)
    • use socks proxy explicitly or find some tool that can route the traffic into it

    Similar approach can be used to establish VPN tunnel with no encryption (ssh already provides that), routing everything but your ssh connection through it.

    • ssh to remote, reverse forwarding your VPN-over-tcp server’s listening port
    • establish vpn connection on remote, route everything but your ssh connection through the newly established interface

    It will be wasteful, but it will work.










  • Bilingualism is a bit overloaded nowadays, which I find kinda annoying given that word “polyglot” exists.

    Anyways, if you can freely use another language in an informal exchange with a few people of different sobriety levels while failing to remember key words and recovering from that - you’re a fluent polyglot. Ability to exchange information is a key part of what language is, and that’s how you measures your proficiency.

    Bilingual can also mean “natively proficient in two languages”. And if you’re older than three years old and are not native speakers of multiple languages already, the chances of you becoming one are slim.

    Native proficiency is a result of a language acquisition ability that is not well understood and disappears early into child development. It results in a level of effortless mastery that seems to be impossible to achieve as an adult, i.e. a dedicated or merely attentive native speaker will be able to recognize that you are not one.


  • It’s not “people vs persons” but “those people vs they”.

    Conversationally, “those/these” distances you from the group you are talking about, which is humorously weird when it’s your family you’re talking about.

    It’s not the meaning of the words, but habitual (and often fleeting) attribution around them that tripped you up.

    PS: “People” are uncountable, “persons” are countable. That’s basically the whole difference between the two plurals. Although it’s rapidly disappearing, as “ten people” won’t raise a single eyebrow in a conversation.




  • Teeth cannot produce enamel. Enamel is not a living tissue and it was produced by cells outside of the tooth in a coral-like manner. In order to grow a new tooth, you need it to be fully surrounded by specialized living tissue for the whole growth cycle.

    PS: I honestly expected something like this to come out of bioelectric computation research, but progress seems slower there. Or rather knowledge and techniques in other fields is reaching critical mass, giving us these advances.
