TL;DR

Create a backup:

pg_dumpall > mybackup.sql

Perform the upgrade:

sudo pg_dropcluster 9.4 main --stop

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

Things I believe

This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.

Agree? Disagree? Feel free to let me know at @JanStette.

Fundamentals

Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.


	# 1.install gource using HomeBrew
	$ brew install gource

	# 2.install avconv
	git clone git://git.libav.org/libav.git
	cd libav
	# it will take 3-5 minutes to complie, be patient.
	./configure --disable-yasm
	make && make install

	server {
	listen 80;
	server_name mysite.com;
	root /var/www/mysite.com/;

	location / {
	if (-f $document_root/maintenance.html) {
	return 503;
	}
	... # the rest of your config goes here

	`openssl pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -nocerts -out [keyfile-encrypted.key]`

	What this command does is extract the private key from the .pfx file. Once entered you need to type in the importpassword of the .pfx file. This is the password that you used to protect your keypair when you created your .pfx file. If you cannot remember it anymore you can just throw your .pfx file away, cause you won’t be able to import it again, anywhere!. Once you entered the import password OpenSSL requests you to type in another password, twice!. This new password will protect your .key file.

	Now let’s extract the certificate:

	`openssl pkcs12 -in [yourfile.pfx] -clcerts -nokeys -out [certificate.crt]`

	$ curl --help
	Usage: curl [options...] <url>
	--abstract-unix-socket <path> Connect via abstract Unix domain socket
	--alt-svc <file name> Enable alt-svc with this cache file
	--anyauth Pick any authentication method
	-a, --append Append to target file when uploading
	--basic Use HTTP Basic Authentication
	--cacert <file> CA certificate to verify peer against
	--capath <dir> CA directory to verify peer against
	-E, --cert <certificate[:password]> Client certificate file and password
