Docker on Android 🐋📱

Edit 🎉

All packages, except for Tini have been added to termux-root. To install them, simply pkg install root-repo && pkg install docker. This will install the whole docker suite, left only Tini to be compiled manually.

Summary

Normalize volume level with PulseAudio and simultaneous output

This should work conceptually on any Linux OS with PulseAudio but these particular instructions are for Ubuntu. There are two major reasons for using simultaneous output. The first is self-evident - we can output to say a bluetooth headset and wired headphones at the same time to enable two people to watch a movie with headphones on a single computer. The second reason is a sort of a convenience for setup. We know the simultaneous sink name so the default.pa config would work without modification so long as simultaneous output is enabled. If we were to set this up without that, we'd have to customize the config with our specific device sink name. That's totally doable but personally I always setup simultaneous output. That's why I haven't described the alternative in this gist.

If you're not familiar: What is fail2ban? fail2ban is an awesome linux service/monitor that scans log files (e.g. auth.log for SSH) for potentially malicious behavior. Once fail2ban is tripped it will ban users for a specified duration by adding rules to Iptables. If you're unfamiliar with fail2ban Chris Fidao has a wonderful (& free!) series about security including setting up fail2ban here.

Recently Laravel released a new feature in 5.1 to throttle authentication attempts by simply adding a trait to your authentication controller. The Laravel throttle trait uses the inputted username, and IP address to throttle attempts. I love seeing this added to a framework out of the box, but what about some of our other apps not built on Laravel? Like a WordPress login? Or even an open API etc.? Ultimately,

Make `bundle`ing and `npm install`ing easy

These git hooks runs bundle or npm install automatically whenever you:

git checkout a new branch with a different Gemfile or package.json.
git pull a change to Gemfile or package.json.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real
