Using SOCKS5 Proxy With Discord on Linux

You may only need the environment or the command-line parameter to force Discord to use a proxy. It doesn't hurt to use both

So if you're behind a firewall and need to go through, e.g. an SSH dynamic port forward (a SOCKS5 channel inside an SSH session) you can use the following:

$ nohup ssh -D1080 proxy_server &
$ http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 https_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080 /opt/Discord/Discord --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

TL;DR

Install Postgres 9.6, and then:

sudo pg_dropcluster 9.6 main --stop
sudo pg_upgradecluster 9.5 main
sudo pg_dropcluster 9.5 main

Virtual hosts

Let's say you want to host domains first.com and second.com.

Create folders for their files:

Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.
