Producing printable QR codes for persistent storage of GPG private keys
# Heavily depends on:
# libqrencode (fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)
# paperkey (jabberwocky.com/software/paperkey/)
# zbar (zbar.sourceforge.net)
# Producing the QR codes:
# Split over 4 codes to ensure the data per image is not too large.

Limit Chrome from eating all the memory and CPU

I was tired of Chrome eating all my laptop resources so I decided to put some limit to it with cgroup.

As I was using Ubuntu 12.04 with support for cgroup, I installed the package cgroup-bin and add the following group to the file /etc/cgconfig.conf:

group browsers {
    cpu {
#       Set the relative share of CPU resources equal to 25%
        cpu.shares = "256";
 }

NAT and FORWARD with Ubuntu’s ufw firewall

UFW

I use Ubuntu’s Uncomplicated firewall because it is available on Ubuntu and it's very simple.

Install UFW

if ufw is not installed by default be sure to install it first.

Why `xs.each(f)` should not be considered a "loop".

First and foremost, let's take a look at the following pieces of code. The first one is something you should be rather familiar with, and the second one is also a somewhat familiar idiom these days (at least in languages with higher-order functions):

// Example 1:
30 + 12

// Example 2:
xs.map(f)

Instructions for exporting/importing (backup/restore) GPG keys

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...
