simple python web server that mimicks ec2 instance metadata service
#!/usr/bin/python
"""
To use this to mimic the EC2 metadata service entirely, run it like:
# where 'eth0' is *some* interface. if i used 'lo:0' i got 5 second or so delays on response.
sudo ifconfig eth0:0 169.254.169.254 netmask 255.255.255.255
sudo ./mdserv 169.254.169.254:80

wget -q http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id -O -; echo
curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id ; echo

A note on X11-Forwarding in SSh.

I used to think that

ssh -X [email protected]

"just bloody worked". However this might not work - ssh must play ball on both sides of the link. On the remote (ssh server, X client) sshd must sit behind some port, tell Xlib to send X11 requests to it and then forward them back to you the X server (where the ssh client is). If the remote box is locked down to prevent this, you will get:

X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

as part of an otherwise working login. As it happens, I am the admin of the remote box in question, so I followed the ArchWiki and went to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncommented

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.
