Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

Why not Modern C++?

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

#Container Resource Allocation Options in docker-run

now see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-constraints-on-resources

You have various options for controlling resources (cpu, memory, disk) in docker. These are principally via the docker-run command options.

##Dynamic CPU Allocation -c, --cpu-shares=0
CPU shares (relative weight, specify some numeric value which is used to allocate relative cpu share)

ZFS Snapshots and PostgreSQL

I recently set up a host running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, ubuntu-zfs, and PostgreSQL 9.3. Using the ZFS snapshot feature I was able to make a snapshot of the file system holding the PostgreSQL database, write the snapshot to a compressed file, transfer it to another Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host running ubuntu-zfs, restore it, and launch PostgreSQL using that data directory with all the data (seemingly) intact.

The database is very low-traffic, so I do not know how effective this strategy would be for a busier database.

I take no responsibility if you attempt this setup and it causes data loss or other issues. Use it at your own risk; this document is meant to explain a potential setup and open discussion about limitations and potential improvements.

OAUTH2

The Problem

I’m a web app that wants to allow other web apps access to my users’ information, but I want to ensure that the user says it’s ok.

The Solution

I can’t trust the other web apps, so I must interact with my users directly. I’ll let them know that the other app is trying to get their info, and ask whether they want to grant that permission. Oauth defines a way to initiate that permission verification from the other app’s site so that the user experience is smooth. If the user grants permission, I issue an AuthToken to the other app which it can use to make requests for that user's info.

Note on encryption

Oauth2 has nothing to do with encryption -- it relies upon SSL to keep things (like the client app’s shared_secret) secure.
