Custom pseudo-text objects

This is a list of custom pseudo-text objects for Vim.

Note the use of "pseudo", here. Conceptually, text object are "special" motions but there is no proper mechanism dedicated to creating text objects, specifically. We are left with the generic mechanism succinctly described under the easy-to-miss :help omap-info.

Writing one's own pseudo-text objects and motions is a great way to extend Vim without perverting its nature ;-).

Don't use VPN services.

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.

Google API OAuth 2.0 refresh token (Ruby on Rails)
# The OAuth access token provided by the Google API expires in 60 minutes. After expiration,
# you must exchange a refresh token for a new access token. Unfortunately, the the Google API
# ruby gem does not include a method for refreshing access tokens.
# You can read up on how to refresh an access token here:
# https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#refresh
# This Token model implements that process. It's based off of a Token model that can be created
# by running:
# rails g model Token token:text refresh_token:string expires_at:datetime
