Look at the configuration of your shell, like .bashrc or .zshrc.

If you want to look at this in detail, I recommend using the Arch Wiki entry for the relevant shell (this should work for pretty much any *nix, Arch is a somewhat geeky Linux distro known for its good documentation), then go to the manpages of the commands mentioned there that apply to your case.

If you just want to set it up like skyrunner, copy their .bashrc or .zshrc into your home directory.

The connection on campus seems to be unreliable. At some point, I began pinging 8.8.8.8 to test the connection (and letting it continue to ping), which I eventually associated with the connection working again.

Is this a placebo and a post hoc fallacy or does it have some possibility of actually maintaining the connection?

i know this is kinda "off topic" but i'm buying a new cellphone soon and i wanted to know what would you guys suggest as the best one with a good operating system and general goodness and usefullness (word?) of a phone

Recommendations would vary based on what you're comfortable with, but I hear the Moto X is a pretty decent mid-range Android smartphone..

Moto X is great for any newbies coming in, for Windows Phone 8 anything above Nokia 600s are good to use.

I'm a huge Sony Xperia fanboy, so there's that.

I'd certainly recommend Android over Windows Phone, though.

Windows Phones ARE for complete noobs though, its alot easier to jump in plus Microsoft put in tons of work to minimize any UI lag so response time is tremendously amazing for even the low ends. Your only issue will always be the small app stores compared to everyone else but honestly i found all the same apps i ever needed in between android, IOS, and Win Phone 8. Android is a very powerful platform but unless you are like me and like to spend time in terminals and recovery boots, its just any other phone operating system.

Whether or not Windows Phone is great, its still rather limited in apps and in how likely it is anyone you know actually has one. I'll second Android.

I live in a field of iphones so anything else is rare

I have this weird problem. I have znc on my server, which is an IRC bouncer. It is listening on port 6667. Every time I try to connect to znc, though, my entire server freezes up and refuses to reply to eg port 22 (for ssh), and of course my IRC client fails to connect to the IRC server that is behind ZNC. It starts replying again after a few minutes.

This wasn't a problem for my older server :< Any pointers as to where the problem is?

(I know that only TCP is open for ports 6666-6667 as well as 22).

[Tellemurius]

UDP would freeze up but thats not the case here, can you still see network activity or does the actual process freeze?

[Skyrunner]

What I see from my side is (1) if I'm already connected via ssh, I can't type anything into the terminal (2) if I'm not connected and try to connect via ssh, it can't even get auth information.

[Tellemurius]

Ok there seems to be problem with response, i assume pinging works well enough. Best i can recommend is reset the network adapter first to see if its just being wonky (ol turn it off and on)

[Skyrunner]

Well, the server still responds after a while. It's just that trying to connect to the IRC port makes it not respond for a few minutes, and I'm wondering why.
