A quick (hacky) Chef recipe for adding noatime and a swap file in case a swap file does not exist
# Enable noatime on local ext3/4 & xfs filesystems
fstab = File.open('/etc/fstab',"r")
newlines = Array.new
needremount = Array.new
ihaveswap = false
fstab.each do |line|
# Tokenize each fstab line with a space separator
tokens = line.split
if tokens[2] == "swap"

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

#! /usr/bin/env python
import fileinput
import argparse
from operator import itemgetter
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--target-mb', action = 'store', dest = 'target_mb', default = 61000, type = int)
parser.add_argument('vmtouch_output_file', action = 'store', nargs = '+')
args = parser.parse_args()

Instructions for exporting/importing (backup/restore) GPG keys

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...
