How to set up a Telegram Proxy (MTProxy)

This tutorial will teach you how to set up a Telegram MTProxy on an Ubuntu 22.04 sever using AWS Lightsail, although you can use any other Linux distribution and cloud provider.

Using a Telegram proxy is a safe, easy and effective way of overcoming Telegram bans. It's useful, for example, to keep using Telegram under tyrannical regimes, or to circumvent judges' decisions to block Telegram.

Telegram proxies are a built-in feature in all Telegram apps (both mobile and desktop). It allows Telegram users to connect to a proxy in just one or two clicks / taps.

Telegram proxies are safe: Telegram sends messages using their own MTProto secure protocol, and the proxy can only see encrypted traffic – there's no way for a proxy to decrypt the traffic and read the messages. The proxy does not even know which Telegram users are using the proxy, all the proxy sees is just a list of IPs.

Entorno de Desarrollo para php usando Docker 🐳

Quieres aprender php, pero las configuraciones te han abrumado y el deseo de aprender van mermando. No, no detengas tu aprendizaje, siempre existe una solución a los problemas. Instalar php, configurar un servidor web en Windows es muy sencillo, en Linux y macOS es otra situación. Debes conocer sobre la terminal, un editor de código, vim, nano, ser avanzado... y mucho más.

La herramienta que vamos a utilizar y que permite trabajar con php, un servidor web y la terminal es Docker.

Docker: Es una plataforma de software que permite crear, probar e implementar aplicaciones rápidamente.

Docker-compose: Es una herramienta para definir y ejecutar aplicaciones; es multicontenedor que permite simplificar el uso de Docker a partir de archivos YAML, de esta forma es más sencillo generar contendores que se relacionen entre sí, conectarlos, habilitar puertos, volúmenes, etc.

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Update 06/2025: X11 is alive and well, despite what Red Hat wants you to believe. https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver revitalizes the Xorg X11 server as a community project under new leadership.

This gist will show the support of font shaping support in the terminal emulators and console programs.

Supporting font shaping

Butterfly
crosh (ChromeOS, instructions)
Hyper.app - crossplatform, HTML/CSS/JS-based (Electron)
iTerm 2 (3.1+)
kitty - uses OpenGL
konsole - KDE terminal

True Color (24-bit) and italics with alacritty + tmux + vim (neovim)

This should make True Color (24-bit) and italics work in your tmux session and vim/neovim when using Alacritty (and should be compatible with any other terminal emulator, including Kitty).

Testing colors

Running this script should look the same in tmux as without.
