Testing Gunicorn’s Ability to Serve the Project The last thing we want to do before leaving our virtual environment is test Gunicorn to make sure that it can serve the application. We can do this by entering our project directory and using gunicorn to load the project’s WSGI module:

    (myenv) $ cd ~/myprojectdir
    (myenv) $ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi

Creating systemd Socket and Service Files for Gunicorn We have tested that Gunicorn can interact with our Django application, but we should implement a more robust way of starting and stopping the application server. To accomplish this, we’ll make systemd service and socket files.

Google/Blogger Image URL Parameters

This is an effort to document what is known about Google's (Blogger's/Blogspot's) image URL parameters. Some of these options were taken from existing first or third party documentation (see the links at the end of this document), but the majority is based off my own investigations.

Where to use them?

On Blogger's image URL's: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF7u67HQE1M/VHc8S8qJTDI/AAAAAAAACxI/UD-11c63diQ/s1600/005.png
On just about any googleusercontent image URL: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Jvmz11cLrvNIHG_LWjVO9B-UV2IN4Cfk1pycbhWZl6IriMgCAGCOFuBRtoHaiZ6xeVGqCugZcCql=w176-h176-n-o

Replace the bolded parts with the parameters.

Generating an SVG from a set of shapefiles

The USGS provides detailed downloads of fire perimeters, with timestamped files that can be used to show the spread of a major fire over time.

Using the 2017 Thomas fire as an example, we'll process this data into a single SVG file with all the different perimeter measurements.

This index page contains links to a series of shapefiles of the fire boundary, each one with a timestamp:

Setting up RetroArch on Raspberry Pi 4 and building emulator cores

Guide for myself and others to get RetroArch running on the new Raspberry Pi 4 while projects like RetroPie get an image out for the rpi4.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert and this may not be the most optimal build possible, but it works.

Inspiration taken from:

This gist showing the basic steps for building and configuring for raspberry pi 3. I'm new to Raspberry Pi and RetroArch myself so this was super helpful and I recommend looking through it.

if !database: wget + grep

The Federal Aviation Administration is posting PDFs of the Section 333 exemptions that it grants, i.e. the exemptions for operators who want to fly drones commercially before the FAA finishes its rulemaking. A journalist wanted to look for exemptions granted to operators in a given U.S. state. But the FAA doesn't appear to have an easy-to-read data file to use and doesn't otherwise list exemptions by location of operator.

However, since their exemptions page is just one giant HTML table for listing the PDFs, we can just use wget to fetch all the PDFs, run pdftotext on each file, and then [grep](https://medium.com/@rualthanzauva/grep-was-a-private-command-of-m
