SSH agent forwarding and screen

When connecting to a remote server via SSH it is often convenient to use SSH agent forwarding so that you don't need a separate keypair on that server for connecting to further servers.

This is enabled by adding the

ForwardAgent yes

option to any of your Host entries in ~/.ssh/config (or alternatively with the -A option). Don't set this option in a wildcard Host * section since any user on the remote server that can bypass file permissions can now als use keys loaded in your SSH agent. So only use this with hosts you trust.

Golang Workers / Job Queue

A running example of the code from:

This gist creates a working example from blog post, and a alternate example using simple worker pool.

TLDR: if you want simple and controlled concurrency use a worker pool.

We will first discussed how destructing and rest parameters can be used in ES6 - in arrays and objects. Then we will look at a few examples and also discuss some quiz.

arrays

var array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
var nestedArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, [7, 8, 9]];

var [a, b, c, d] = array;
console.log(a, b, c, d)

Next.js client-only SPA example

Made this example to show how to use Next.js router for a 100% SPA (no JS server) app.

You use Next.js router like normally, but don't define getStaticProps and such. Instead you do client-only fetching with swr, react-query, or similar methods.

You can generate HTML fallback for the page if there's something meaningful to show before you "know" the params. (Remember, HTML is static, so it can't respond to dynamic query. But it can be different per route.)

Don't like Next? Here's how to do the same in Gatsby.

	App configuration in environment variables: for and against

	For (some of these as per the 12 factor principles)

	1) they are are easy to change between deploys without changing any code

	2) unlike config files, there is little chance of them being checked
	into the code repo accidentally

	3) unlike custom config files, or other config mechanisms such as Java

	// === Arrays

	var [a, b] = [1, 2];
	console.log(a, b);
	//=> 1 2


	// Use from functions, only select from pattern
	var foo = () => [1, 2, 3];
