You can make use of your configuration management for this. If you use something like Chef or Puppet, you probably have user accounts being created on servers when they are provisioned. We have user configs, like bashrc, tmux.conf, vimrc an

I always seem to be the black sheep in a group of people when I say that I love sqlite. It's seriously so handy. If I need to aggregate or parse big CSV sheets, I just toss them in a sqlite database and run actual SQL queries against t

I haven't seen or done anything of this scale before, but I did have a very sobering moment while working on a large online retailers stack as a systems engineer. We were rolling out a new stack in another data center across the countr

I don't like using the TCP functionality of ngrok because it seems to always use the same hostname (0.tcp.ngrok.io) with a random port. So anyone can just scan for open ports on that domain and start trying to connect to things. The HT

Finally hopeful for better dependency management! I was digging through the source code and see it works with mercurial, git and bazaar using a hash or tag (so you can lock a package down to either): https://github.com/sdboy

What about utilizing ocean currents? You deploy the collectors and eventually they end up somewhere close enough to be toed in without using much fuel. Deploy them at regular intervals and go pick them up as they get closer to shore. This i

The state of IPv6 remains sad and depressing. I just switched to centurylink fiber from comcast and I still don't have an IPv6 address. I have the option, but I have to pay for it, which seems totally backwards to me. Sure, I will pay

You definitely can't rely on it. Just the other day I was given a task to take a request payload from our front end and do some stuff with it on our backend. The payload looked like this: {"thing": [{"values": [&quo

That's not really an example of why something in all caps is useful, though. The only time I've seen anyone using caps lock is in a call center where people think it's the proper way of entering data into a form (my opinion i

I genuinely don't understand why there is still a caps lock key on most keyboards. Can someone fill me in on actual use cases of having this key still? I have been binding caps lock to escape for many many years.

Totally, this is a good way to protect from that. It's just impossible to trust that is what someone is doing without going and looking at the script unfortunately.

But was this due to the heat, acidity or some other characteristic of this cross? Or was it because he swallowed a pepper whole and it tore a hole because it went down sideways? You have to remember how much and how fast people shove things

Another issue is partially written responses. If the connection fails in the middle of your curl (or the source's application crashes) you can receive part of a shell script that could very well contain `rm -rf /usr`. Edit: I cook
