Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Import & Export Cygwin List of installed Packages

If you want to go from 32 to 64 bit Cygwin but keep all the packages[1], you might find yourself in a spot where you would like to export the list of cygwin packages and also be able to install cygwin with all these packages again. I will tell you how. Open your Cygwin shell and enter

cygcheck -c -d | sed -e "1,2d" -e 's/ .*\$//' > packagelist

This will simply dump a list of installed packages. To install Cygwin 64 with these packages selected, download setup-x86_64[2] and execute it with the command line parameters

./setup-x86_64 -P `awk 'NR==1{printf \$1}{printf ",%s", \$1}' packagelist`
