This is how one can create a proxy via ssh:
ssh -D 8080 -N server.com
Then tell the browser to use socks5 proxy at localhost, port 8080.

Surrender your ego
Липсва ми здравната книжка. Отидох при личния лекар. Заместващия му каза да отида до РЗОК в Младост. Отидох. Случайно хванах шефа там и той каза: не тук момче, ул. Енос 12. Отивам там, на информацията ме питат за номера на книжката. WTF?! "Тогава отидете в каб. 302". Отивам там, " кажете знаете ли кога е издадена?", "не, не знам". "ходили ли сте на зъболекари. Ако да, кога", "ами 2005та мисля последно ходих на такъв, който работи с касата", "Няма такъв, слезте в деловодството". Слизам, там - "Без номер не може, питайте личния за номера". Звъня на личния: "не съм ви първи личен, трябва първия да намерите". Пак в деловодството: "първия ми личен е починал, какво правим?", "ами той всъщност не ви е първи, ама ви е първи, отидете при него". И това след пълен кръг от институции.
Извод: мразя държавни служители. Моля ви уволнете ги всичките. Ненужни са. Така и така си плащам здравеопазването.
Update: problem solved с кутия бонбони и кафе за личната. Уж нямаше книжки и не трябвало да ги вади, но кафето някак й припомни, че някъде имала забутани книжки. Цена: 4.68 лв.
When I was a kid I wanted the biggest and most complex Legos. I only got small and cheap ones. The series I liked the most were the Technics.
Last winter I was dragged into a kids store. I saw a large box with "Lego Technic" on it. It was a crane with motors and everything. It was quite expensive.
When I got home I couldn't stop thinking about it. Google quickly returned all the results for "the best lego technic ever". Unanimously the answer was Technic 8880:
This was the most complex lego ever. It had a REAL gear box with four gears, independent suspension, 4x4 with three open differentials, V8 engine with cylinders and everything. 4-wheel turning. One could study car internals from this toy.
It was said to be the most complex to assemble, due to the scarce instructions. Even though the instructions were 51 pages. Here's a video:
was that this was a 1994 model and was discontinued. So I had to buy a second hand from ebay/amazon. Unopened boxes went as high as $1000.
After 3 months of searching and bidding I found a 14-year-old kid from Germany, that didn't speak a word English. After a lot of trouble with paypal (the kid didn't know how to use it) I finally got it.
It took me 14 hours, even though it said 7 on the box. I had to wear knee pads so that my knees wouldn't hurt so much.
