wow and this is built into macOS now as NightShift right?



Yes, the OS function works fine. Haven't used the app in a while, just had it still installed. I just found this by searching for "proxy-gw1-europe.squidyproxy.com" which seemed odd when I found it in my .ssh/known_hosts file.


ah, i just used squid on my own linux server recently for a weird use case. A client of mine gave me access to https://foo.com/thing only from one ip. And I didn't want to give them my normal desktop ISP ip because it changes so I gave them my static cloud linux VM ip. But it has no gui. So I wanted to use the webapp from my desktop. I installed squid and set it as my proxy server and did tail -f thelog and OMG the amount of requests just my normal browser makes to all sorts of weird stuff!


NightShift is different (but somewhat related) functionality: it adjusts the color profile to be warmer/reduce blue light. Both can be scheduled to correspond to time of day[light] however.


Oh right, got that mixed up
