Making the RescueTime extension work in Chromium

By default, the RescueTime Chrome extension doesn't report exact site usage because the extension determines browser usage by parsing the User Agent string in the request. So we need to fool the extension into thinking that we're using Chrome, not Chromium, which means it will accurately report usage statistics to RescueTime.

1. Determine the extension's ID by visiting chrome://extensions
2. If you have not done so before, check Developer mode in the top right.
3. Locate the id of the RescueTime extension. It will look something like this: ID: bdakmnplckeopfghnlpocafcepegjeap
4. Navigate to the Chromium extensions location on your machine: ~/Library/Application Support/Chromium/Default/Extensions/{extension_id}/3.0.18_0
5. Edit RescueTimeUtil.js to return the browser as being Chrome. See the example in RescueTimeUtil.js in this gist.

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.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Compatibility

I currently run Ubiquiti's UniFi Controller on a Raspberry Pi 3B without issue. I have tried with a Raspberry Pi 1B, but the application crashes on startup. I assume it is due to a lack of RAM. Presumably, it would run on a Raspberry Pi 2B as well (same amount of RAM), but I have not tested it on this model. YMMV.

Instructions

1. Install Raspbian on a SD card. I tested this with Jessie Lite (headless)

2. Use raspi-config to expand the filesystem, rename your PI, etc

Raspberry Pi Zero OTG Mode

Simple guide for setting up OTG modes on the Raspberry Pi Zero - By Andrew Mulholland (gbaman).

The Raspberry Pi Zero (and model A and A+) support USB On The Go, given the processor is connected directly to the USB port, unlike on the B, B+ or Pi 2 B, which goes via a USB hub.
Because of this, if setup to, the Pi can act as a USB slave instead, providing virtual serial (a terminal), virtual ethernet, virtual mass storage device (pendrive) or even other virtual devices like HID, MIDI, or act as a virtual webcam!
It is important to note that, although the model A and A+ can support being a USB slave, they are missing the ID pin (is tied to ground internally) so are unable to dynamically switch between USB master/slave mode. As such, they default to USB master mode. There is no easy way to change this right now.
It is also important to note, that a USB to UART serial adapter is not needed for any of these guides, as may be documented elsewhere across the int
