Routing HexChat Through Tor

Note: Hexchat is dead as of 2.16.2, The Final Release on February 9th 2024. Keep in mind, this could mean that HexChat accumulates unfixed vulnerabilities or bugs going into the future. If you are using IRC + tor for a “secure” use case, consider using an alternative, such as irssi or weechat.

  1. sudo apt install tor hexchat
  2. Run the tor command to start the tor service on 127.0.0.1:9050.
    • Keep this running in a background terminal.
  3. Start HexChat
  4. Connect to any IRC server.
    • This is required in order to access the HexChat menus.
  5. In the new window, select Settings and then Preferences. Hit the option Network setup.
  6. Under the hostname field, type in: 127.0.0.1 and in port type in: 9050. Change the Type dropdown to SOCKS5
  7. Next, fully close and reopen HexChat. Ensure that it is PROPERLY closed, and then reopened.

Adblock for Twitch

Taken from https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions.

  • Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options).
  • Under the My filters tab add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad).
  • Under the Settings tab, enable I am an advanced user, then click the cog that appears. Modify the value of userResourcesLocation from unset to the full url of the solution you wish to use (if a url is already in use, add a space after the existing url). e.g. userResourcesLocation https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/raw/master/vaft/vaft-ublock-origin.js
  • To ensure uBlock Origin loads the script I recommend that you disable/enable the uBlock Origin extension (or restart your browser).

Cleaning the RECYCLE.BIN Directory on Windows

The way Windows handles the recycle bin is by moving your “deleted” files to a secret directory called $RECYCLE.BIN on the root of whatever storage device you’re removing from. The problem starts when you move from one device to another after “deleting” something. Files accumulate, but you can’t see them normally, including sensitive ones. The only way you can is either by enabling View Protected Operating System Files in explorer.exe, or by using Everything which caches this directory.

The below command shows how to manually clear this directory:

rmdir /q /s C:\$RECYCLE.BIN

Change the drive letter to whatever mounted storage media you want to clear out.

Note: This command must be run as administrator.
