Do not use this guide. The dnscrypt protocol and dnscrypt-proxy configuration file have changed a lot since I wrote this gist. Check the following links for help:

Install & Configure

Install DNSMasq

$ brew install dnsmasq

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

Removal of McAfee from OSX

Note: This was written in 2015, it may be out of date now.

There are a lot of commands here which I use sudo if you don't know what you're doing with sudo, especially where I rm you can severely screw up your system.

There are many reasons which you would want to remove a piece of software such as McAfee, such as not wanting it to hammer your CPU during work hours which seems like primetime for a virus scan.

I intend this to be a living document, I have included suggestions from peoples' replies.

Ello API

This is a basic exploration of the Ello API. Completely unofficial, your mileage my vary, don't smash their servers as they are likely very busy.

Methods return HTML for their representation where appropriate which is a nice little pattern. Everything returns application/json.

Like this:

{
 "id": ,

This is my take on how to get up and running with NGINX, PHP-FPM, MySQL and phpMyAdmin on OSX Yosemite.

	#/usr/bin/env python

	import sys

	from application.notification import NotificationCenter

	from sipsimple.account import AccountManager
	from sipsimple.application import SIPApplication
	from sipsimple.core import SIPURI, ToHeader
	from sipsimple.lookup import DNSLookup, DNSLookupError

	from PIL import Image, ImageOps
	import clipboard, photos,webbrowser
	im=photos.pick_image()#clipboard.get_image
	if im.size[0] >= im.size[1]:
	whitespace=((im.size[0]-im.size[1])/2)+250
	xbump=250
	else:
	xbump=((im.size[1]-im.size[0])/2)+250
	whitespace=250
	matted=ImageOps.expand(im,border=(xbump,whitespace),fill='white')
