Mini tutorial for configuring client-side SSL certificates.

Client-side SSL

For excessively paranoid client authentication.


Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.

Excerpts from The Elements of Programming Style. The source of this compilation is unknown.

The Elements of Programming Style

The following rules of programming style are excerpted from the book "The Elements of Programming Style" by Kernighan and Plauger, published by McGraw Hill. Here is quote from the book: "To paraphrase an observation in The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, the rules of programming style, like those of English, are sometimes broken, even by the best writers. When a rule is broken, however, you will usually find in the program some compensating merit, attained at the cost of the violation. Unless you are certain of doing as well, you will probably do best to follow the rules."

install ffmpeg and ffmpegthumbnailer to your heroku app to use with carrierwave-video and carrierwave-video-thumbnailer

Preface

Below are the steps I took to install ffmpeg, ffmpegthumbnailer, and heroku to use with carrierwave-video and carrierwave-video-thumbnailer gems on my heroku app. I found there was no documentation to do exactly this, so I hope this is helpful for other people (and will save them the countless hours it took me to finally get it to work)

These are the libraries you will end up installing to get all of this to work.
