I recently tried out the fantastic vim-tmux-navigator tmux plugin. Unfortunately, some the default key bindings conflict with some of the key bindings my fuzzy finder of choice uses. I wanted to remap them to the default vim split navigation commands that are prefixed with C-w, and found the solution of hjdivad in his gist. However, I wanted a simpler solution, so after some more digging I stumbled upon this reddit post and ultimately came up with the following solution, which doesn't rely on key bindings that unbind themselves, but uses tmux's 'key-tables'.

List of Linux networking tools

netstat (ss)

Displays contents of /proc/net files. It works with the Linux Network Subsystem, it will tell you what the status of ports are ie. open, closed, waiting, masquerade connections. It will also display various other things. It has many different options. Netstat (Network Statistic) command display connection info, routing table information etc. To displays routing table information use option as -r.

Sample output:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)    
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.62132 127.0.0.1.http ESTABLISHED

Better SSH Authorized Keys Management

A seemingly common problem that people encounter is how to handle all of your users authorized_keys file.

People struggle over management, ensuring that users only have specific keys in the authorized_keys file or even a method for expiring keys. A centralized key management system could help provide all of this functionality with a little scripting.

One piece of functionality overlooked in OpenSSH is the AuthorizedKeysCommand configuration keyword. This configuration allows you to specify a command that will run during login to retrieve a users public key file from a remote source and perform validation just as if the authorized_keys file was local.

Here is an example directory structure for a set of users with SSH public keys that can be shared out via a web server:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Google Cloud Platform (GCP) explained in simple English

This guide is only representative from my point of view and it may not be accurate and you should go on the official AWS & GCP websites for accurate and detailed information. It's initially inspired by AWS in simple English and GCP for AWS professionals. The idea is to compare both services, give simple one-line explanation and examples with other software that might have similiar capabilities. Comment below for suggestions.

	PaaS	AWS Elastic Beanstalk	Google App Engine	Running your app on a platform
