Check that a particular email address exists.

WARNING:
  Checking email addresses in this way is not recommended, and will lead to
  your site being listed in RBLs as a source of abusive traffic. Mail server
  admins do like it when they get connections that don't result in email being
  sent, because spammers often use this technique to verify email addresses.

    - For most recent version: https://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat
    - This gist unlikely to be maintained further for that reason.
20150221 v2.0.1: Now should find cookies for base domain and all subs.
20140518 v2.0: Now works with Chrome's new encrypted cookies.

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:

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?
