pipin alias

Defined in ~/.bash_aliases:

alias pipin='pip install --user --break-system-packages'

Use: pipin <package> — installs to user site, bypasses system package protection on Ubuntu 23.10+.

Network / SOCKS5 proxy

If ISP DNS is blocked or unreliable, route pip through the SOCKS5 proxy:

ALL_PROXY=socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 pip install --user --break-system-packages <pkg>

socks5h = DNS resolved through the proxy (not locally). Port 1080.
