Downloading Udemy videos with youtube-dl

Download Udemy course videos using youtube-dl

$ youtube-dl --list-extractors | grep udemy

Steps

  1. Get link to the course to download. e.g. https://www.udemy.com/course-name/
  2. Login into udemy website, save the cookie from chrome using Chrome (Cookie.txt)[1] export extension. Save it to file udemy-cookies.txt
  3. Get the link of the video that you want to download. usually in format. Use the command provided below where you have to replace the {course_link} and {path_to_cookies_file} with respective paths.

# $ youtube-dl {course_link} --cookies {path_to_cookies_file}

ffmpeg time-lapse

Convert sequence of JPEG images to MP4 video

ffmpeg -r 24 -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' -i DSC_%04d.JPG -s hd1080 -vcodec libx264 timelapse.mp4

  • -r 24 - output frame rate
  • -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' - all JPG files in the current directory
  • -i DSC_%04d.JPG - e.g. DSC_0397.JPG
  • -s hd1080 - 1920x1080 resolution

Slower, better quality

How to generate a self-signed SAN SSL/TLS certificate using openssl

How to generate a self-signed SAN SSL/TLS certificate using openssl

Generating a self-signed certificate is a common task and the command to generate one with openssl is well known and well documented. Generating a certificate that includes subjectAltName is not so straght forward however. The following example demonstrates how to generate a SAN certificate without making a permanent change to the openssl configuration.

Generate a list of all required DNS names, (Note: CN will be discarded).

$ export SAN="DNS:www.domain.localdomain,DNS:domain.localdomain"

This gist will show you how to launch multiple ffmpeg instances with xargs, very useful for NVIDIA NVENC based encoding where standard GPUs limit the maximum simultaneous encode sessions to two.

Spawning multiple ffmpeg processes with xargs:

On standard NVIDIA GPUs (Not the Quadros and Tesla lines), NVENC encodes are limited to two simultaneous sessions. The sample below illustrates how to pass a list of AVI files to ffmpeg and encode them to HEVC on two encode sessions:

$ find Videos/ -type f -name \*.avi -print | sed 's/.avi$//' |\
  xargs -n 1 -I@ -P 2 ffmpeg -i "@.avi" -c:a aac -c:v hevc_nvenc "@.mp4"

This will find all files with the ending .avi in the directory Videos/ and transcode them into HEVC/H265+AAC files with the ending .mp4. The noteworthy part here is the -P 2 to xargs, which starts up to two processes in parallel.

Optimizing postgresql table for more than 100K inserts per second

Optimizing postgresql table for more than 100K inserts per second

  • Create UNLOGGED table. This reduces the amount of data written to persistent storage by up to 2x.
  • Set WITH (autovacuum_enabled=false) on the table. This saves CPU time and IO bandwidth on useless vacuuming of the table (since we never DELETE or UPDATE the table).
  • Insert rows with COPY FROM STDIN. This is the fastest possible approach to insert rows into table.
  • Minimize the number of indexes in the table, since they slow down inserts. Usually an index on time timestamp with time zone is enough.
  • Add synchronous_commit = off to postgresql.conf.
  • Use table inheritance for fast removal of old data:

A quick reminder on how to perform a Postgres SQL dump.

Use pg_dump to create a dev copy of a DB

Steps

  1. Perform pg_dump -> gzip output -> save

    • pg_dump DB_NAME --username=DB_USER | gzip > /location/to/backup.gz
    • Note: if you get "FATAL: Ident authentication failed..." you'll need to look in pg_hba.conf. See below for more info.
  2. Unzip -> import into new database

Exporting and Importing Postgres Databases using gzip
# This is just a cheat sheet:
# On production
sudo -u postgres pg_dump database | gzip -9 > database.sql.gz
# On local
scp -C production:~/database.sql.gz
dropdb database && createdb database
gunzip < database.sql.gz | psql database
