networking - HTTP proxy over ssh?

I can browse the internet by using a SOCKS proxy : ssh -D 1080 myserver I now want to set up a HTTP proxy server, and the server then sends the HTTP package to the SOCKS proxy. If this is possible, how? I'm doing this with the hope that my iPhone could use my HTTP proxy. myiPhone --> myComputer.HttpProxy --> MyComputer.SocksProxy --> SSHServer --> someWebSitesBlockedByGFW

gnome - Ubuntu's gui "Open With" command is not memorizing the application

In Ubuntu, when we right-click a icon and use "open with", there is an option to remember that application for that file's type. For some reason, my system is no more memorizing the application (I think it was aftare some update). And, even when I have already used the "open with" command, the application is not showing in the "open with" list, so I have, everytime, to go to "open with"->"Other Application". The system used to ask me what to do with the file type (Display, Run..), but now it is doing nothing to my file type "ppf". I want it to open with GEdit. Is there any command line to associate my extension with GEdit? Answer Found, after unmark "Allow executing file as a program" it worked.. I don't know why this box was marked anyway..

windows 7 - How do I optimize TeamViewer?

I've used crossloop before to remotely control my computer from a laptop. And I didn't experience lags. Then I decided to use team viewer because it can also remotely transfer files and it is easier to use. But I experience lags, what might be the cause of this? I'm using granola on the desktop computer which I control with the laptop and set the cpu to use minimal power in exchange for lesser power consumption. Can it be one of the causes? Because I didn't know of granola yet when I have crossloop installed. How do I optimize team viewer? Answer There are some options concerning optimization in TeamViewer. Based on your network connection, you can choose to optimize between speed and quality, a higher quality requires higher bandwidth. You can also use custom settings like color range from gray-scale to 256 colors to true color, etc. Make sure that TeamViewer is set to Optimize Speed option. It optimizes the speed of the connection, but the quality will be reduced. T...

Invisible 'always on-top' window on bottom right of screen (Windows 10 Anniversary Update)

So, for some time now I am noticing an invisible window in the bottom right corner of my screen. How I know it's there, well.. I can't click on anything else that is located there. Right mouse button brings a menu with unclickable back and forward options and clickable reload option (see pic). So in pictures: Casually browsing and clicking right-button on the mouse brings me the usual menu. I go to the bottom right and click the right-mouse-button and a menu with 'back, forward and reload' shows up from the invisible window, left click and drag does nothing... Same thing happens in the desktop and everywhere else I go and do. This invisible window is always on top which is annoying because I can't click what I want to click if it's behind the invisible window. I've tried almost everything from alt-tabbing to checking task manager and nothing seems to work. It even happens when I have no windows open. I've noticed that it happened ever since the Windows 1...
