SSH tunnel between two NATed machines via a third SSH host
Useful for when you need to have two hosts talk to each other on a specific port but they're both NATed (behind routers).
For example, you want to be able to SSH into your friend's machine to pair program with them.
host-machine$ ssh -R 55555:localhost:22 myaccount@my_ssh_server.com
connecting-machine$ ssh -L 55555:localhost:55555 myaccount@my_ssh_server.com
connecting-machine$ ssh -p 55555 user_on_host_machine@localhost

The list would not be updated for now. Don't write comments.

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Because of GitHub search limitations, only 1000 first users according to amount of followers are included. If you are not in the list you don't have enough followers. See raw data and source code. Algorithm in pseudocode:

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 = [email protected]: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:

# MAC manipulators
alias random_mac='sudo ifconfig en0 ether `openssl rand -hex 6 | sed "s/\(..\)/\1:/g; s/.$//"`'
alias restore_mac='sudo ifconfig en0 ether YOUR_ORIGINAL_MAC_ADDRESS_GOES_HERE'

Notes on compiling/packaging a node.js projects as a single binary

Compiling plain javascript (no external modules)

So we got nexe to compile nodejs projects to an executable binary:

  • it downloads the nodejs source
  • it creates a single file nodejs source (using sardines )
  • it monkey patches the nodejs code to include this single file in the binary (adding it to the lib/nexe.js)

$ nexe -i myproject.js -o myproject.bin -r 0.10.3

Caveats:

  • I had an issue with unicode chars that got converted: it uses uglify.js and this needs to be configured to leave them alone
