I keep a Raspberry Pi at a relative's house which backs up my cloud storage to a Time Machine on their network. Previously I had port 22 NAT'd to the Raspberry Pi so that I could ssh in for occasional admin. However, I found that even with iptables/fail2ban installed, there were daily attempts at getting hacked. As I only infrequently need to access the server, I decided to set up sshd as a Tor hidden service which did not require port 22 to be exposed to the wider internet.

Setup sshd as a hidden service

The first step is to install tor:

# apt-get install tor

Add the following lines to /etc/tor/torrc:

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

	// 1. Open the browser developper console on the network tab
	// 2. Start the video
	// 3. In the dev tab, locate the load of the "master.json" file, copy its full URL
	// 4. Run: node vimeo-downloader.js "<URL>"
	// 5. Combine the m4v and m4a files with mkvmerge

	const fs = require('fs');
	const url = require('url');
	const https = require('https');

	# I named it .sh just so Github does correct syntax highlighting.
