ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

Setup nullmailer with Amazon SES
Integrating nullmailer with Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)
Sometime you need just to allow system tools (i.e. cron) to send mail to the hostmaster. Setting up (and maintaining) a smtp server like sendmail, Postfix or Exim is too much. What you need is nullmailer, a sendmail/qmail/etc replacement MTA for hosts which relay to a fixed set of smart relays.
Here are some notes about how to setup nullmailer to use Amazon SES (Simple Email Service). This guide applies to Ubuntu boxes, but you can easily adapt it to other Linux flavors.
I assume that you already know how to setup an Amazon Simple Email Service account and how to test it in the sandbox . This means that you have signed the service, verified and tested at least a couple of e-mail address using Amazon Management Console facility. If this is not your case, please refer to this guide.
To begin, you will need to set up a secure tunnel using stunnel package. In the following procedure, we use port 2525 as your stunnel port. If you are using a differe

Migrating from VirtualBox to KVM on ZFS
# It's important to convert the vbox image (VMDK or VDI or whatever) using
# the same version of VirtualBox that created it. You can try converting the image
# with qemu-img or kvm-img, but weird version mismatches will possibly make it not
# work.
# On your VirtualBox machine:
cd $VBOX_ROOT/$MACHINE_ROOT/
VBoxManage clonehd machine.vmdk machine.img --format RAW
scp machine.img root@kvm-host:/somewhere

A Capistrano Rails Guide

A Capistrano Rails Guide

by Jonathan Rochkind, http://bibwild.wordpress.com

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".
