Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

My OSX PF config for #30C3.

My OS X “VPN only” Setup For #30C3

You should never let passwords or private data be transmitted over an untrusted network (your neighbor’s, the one at Starbucks or the company) anyway, but on a hacker congress like the #30C3, this rule is almost vital.

Hackers get bored easily, and when they’re bored, they’re starting to look for things to play with. And a network with several thousand connected users is certainly an interesting thing to play with. Some of them might start intercepting the data on the network or do other nasty things with the packets that they can get.

If these packets are encrypted, messing with them is much harder (but not impossible! – see the end of this article). So you want your packets to be always encrypted. And the best way to do that is by using a VPN.

OSX for Hackers: Yosemite/El Capitan Edition. This script tries not to be *too* opinionated and any major changes to your system require a prompt. You've been warned.

Eine pragmatische Lösung für das Übersetzungsproblem der Rails Methode distance_of_time_in_words(). Im Deutschen wird je nach Satzbau eine andere Ausgabe benötigt.
# ---
# Code gehört in app/helpers/application_helper.rb (oder einen anderen Helper…)
# ---
# Ausgabe: "Vor mehr als 5 Monaten"/"Vor etwa einem Jahr" — statt "Dauer: mehr als 5 Monate"/"Dauer: etwa 1 Jahr", wie es die Originalfunktion liefert
# Original-File: actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb, line 63
# Dokumenation: http://apidock.com/rails/v2.3.8/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper/distance_of_time_in_words
# Changelog: I18n.with_options-Scope geändert auf "distance_in_words_gebeugt"
def distance_of_time_in_words_gebeugt(from_time, to_time = 0, include_seconds = false, options = {})
from_time = from_time.to_time if from_time.respond_to?(:to_time)
