Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

CSS fixes to Twitter web client to remove all the inline previews

Twitter Web Client Inline Image Removal

If you're a heavy user of the Twitter web client like me then you'll find the new inline preview feature extremely intrusive as it breaks up the timeline too much. If I wanted to use facebook or linkedin then I'd be using facebook or linkedin. Having said that, cards in Twitter are great and the ability to preview media before jumping off site is really cool - but it should be my choice, not have everything foisted on my timeline.

That the mobile client allows for this with a setting is even more annoying.

So here's the fix. This only works in Chrome but I'm sure an enterprising person could do something similar for Safari and Firefox using the same CSS. Pull requests to update instructions for other browsers are of course very welcome.

Caching debian package installation with docker

TLDR: I now add the following snippet to all my Dockerfiles:

# If host is running squid-deb-proxy on port 8000, populate /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy
# By default, squid-deb-proxy 403s unknown sources, so apt shouldn't proxy ppa.launchpad.net
RUN route -n | awk '/^0.0.0.0/ {print $2}' > /tmp/host_ip.txt
RUN echo "HEAD /" | nc `cat /tmp/host_ip.txt` 8000 | grep squid-deb-proxy \
  && (echo "Acquire::http::Proxy \"http://$(cat /tmp/host_ip.txt):8000\";" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy) \
  && (echo "Acquire::http::Proxy::ppa.launchpad.net DIRECT;" >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy) \
  || echo "No squid-deb-proxy detected on docker host"
