Turning Off Github Issues

My friend Michael Jackson turned off github issues on one of his smaller projects. It got me thinking...

Maintainers getting burned out is a problem. Not just for the users of a project but the mental health of the maintainer. It's a big deal for both parties. Consumers want great tools, maintainers want to create them, but maintainers don't want to be L1 tech support, that's why they

Hardening the USB Armory

As a good crypto nerd, I usually use an entirely encrypted linux FS: / but also /boot using grub LUKS support. It's a good setup but it's not perfect, the BIOS and the bootloader are not protected.

I recently got a USBArmory and I wanted to apply the same (or a better) setup.

I found some useful links but no clear howto. So this is my setup.

To remove a submodule you need to:

Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Running Docker on two hosts, bridged with Tinc

This Gist is similar to https://gist.github.com/noteed/8656989 which uses Open vSwitch instead of Tinc.

Setup

Download the install.sh script and run it:

My Darktable Workflow

Basic workflow

Copy a film roll (a directory of RAW images) into a directory on the machine running Darktable.
Import the film roll into Darktable.
Review the images using lighttable mode and remove any images that are beyond repair.
Take a snapshot of the image so we can do a before and after comparison.
Adjust the white balance.
Exposure compensation and recovery.

	Requires
	- fddroidserver and basic requirements for binary repo (see their page)
	- follow instrunctions to create a basic repo structure for a binary-only repo
	- the android sdk of which you mostly need aapt and its libc++.so + local libraries to make it run
	the SDK itself isn't redistirbutable mostly, get your own copy.

	For the aapt I use ldd shows following libraries are needed on a Debian amd64 system:
	ldd /opt/android-sdk-linux-mini/build-tools/23.0.1/aapt
	linux-gate.so.1 (0xf774a000)
	libc++.so => /opt/android-sdk-linux-mini/build-tools/23.0.1/lib/libc++.so (0xf756c000)
