Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Plain Strings (207): foo
Anchors (208): k$
Ranges (202): ^[a-f]*$
Backrefs (201): (...).*\1
Abba (169): ^(.(?!(ll|ss|mm|rr|tt|ff|cc|bb)))*$|^n|ef
A man, a plan (177): ^(.)[^p].*\1$
Prime (286): ^(?!(..+)\1+$)
Four (199): (.)(.\1){3}
Order (198): ^[^o].....?$
Triples (507): (^39|^44)|(^([0369]|([147][0369]*[258])|(([258]|[147][0369]*[147])([0369]*|[258][0369]*[147])([147]|[258][0369]*[258])))*$)

My OS X “VPN only” Setup For #30C3

You should never let passwords or private data be transmitted over an untrusted network (your neighbor’s, the one at Starbucks or the company) anyway, but on a hacker congress like the #30C3, this rule is almost vital.

Hackers get bored easily, and when they’re bored, they’re starting to look for things to play with. And a network with several thousand connected users is certainly an interesting thing to play with. Some of them might start intercepting the data on the network or do other nasty things with the packets that they can get.

If these packets are encrypted, messing with them is much harder (but not impossible! – see the end of this article). So you want your packets to be always encrypted. And the best way to do that is by using a VPN.

Target audience

THIS GIST WAS MOVED TO TERMSTANDARD/COLORS REPOSITORY.

PLEASE ASK YOUR QUESTIONS OR ADD ANY SUGGESTIONS AS A REPOSITORY ISSUES OR PULL REQUESTS INSTEAD!

Use brew to install the ModSecurity Apache module.

brew install homebrew/apache/mod_security

Ask Apache to load the module by editing the configuration file (at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf). Under the long list of LoadModule statements, add:

LoadModule security2_module /usr/local/Cellar/mod_security/2.7.7/libexec/mod_security2.so

While you are at it, load the mod_unique_id module as well. This is required by ModSecurity. Do so by uncommenting the line:

	// this is the background code...

	// listen for our browerAction to be clicked
	chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
	// for the current tab, inject the "inject.js" file & execute it
	chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.ib, {
	file: 'inject.js'
	});
	});
