Calculate the age of a person and write it to the event's description in your birthday calendar using Google Apps Script

This script uses Google Apps Script to access one's Google Calendar and calculate the age on a person's birthday. In the best case you have a custom calendar where your birthdays are stored at. If not, uncomment line 20 and use the filter function at the bottom.

Steps to setup everything

Head to https://script.google.com/home/my and create a new project. Rename the existing file Code.gs to your liking and paste the code from calculateAge.gs.
Paste your calendar ID in line 9 (you can find it in the Google Calendar Settings)
Make sure to add the birth year of a person to the location field (or customize the script)
Customize the message in line 36

ℹ️ Enable iCloud end-to-end encryption:

Nobody knows that, but iCloud actually supports end-to-end encryption (see “Advanced Data Protection for iCloud”) but it's disabled by default. If you care about data privacy, you should turn it on.
- System settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Set Advanced Data Protection to On.
- System settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Disable Access iCloud Data on the Web.
It supports almost all the native Apple apps, with the notable exceptions of iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendars. See official data protection matrix for more info.

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

Redirecting GitHub Pages after a repository move

The problem

You have a repository, call it alice/repo. You would like to transfer it to the user bob, so it will become bob/repo.

However, you make heavy use of the GitHub Pages feature, so that people are often accessing https://alice.github.io/repo/. GitHub will helpfully redirect all of your repository stuff hosted on github.com after the move, but will not redirect the GitHub Pages hosted on github.io.
