Bash script to build a restic exclude list that mimics Apple TimeMachine exclude list
#!/bin/bash
# This script intend to mimic TimeMachine exclude list.
# As the exclude list can evolve between backups it has to be rebuilt before every backup
# Apple uses 5 types of excludes, four from the /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/StdExclusions.plist file
# and files from applications where metadata says to not backup, these can be found usinf
# sudo mdfind "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"

Vagrant port 80 443 forwarding to HOST machine OSX El Capitan

El Capitan OSX Vagrant port forwarding rules to use privileged ports 80 and 443

Due to the OSX limitations in ports below 1024, in order to use them without running as root the virtualbox headless you can do the following workaround, (remember the command ipfw is deprecated on El Capitan)

In the Vagrant file use ports over 1024, for instance change 80 and 443 to 8080 and 8043.

  # Apache
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

Speed up zsh compinit by only checking cache once a day.
# On slow systems, checking the cached .zcompdump file to see if it must be
# regenerated adds a noticable delay to zsh startup. This little hack restricts
# it to once a day. It should be pasted into your own completion file.
#
# The globbing is a little complicated here:
# - '#q' is an explicit glob qualifier that makes globbing work within zsh's [[ ]] construct.
# - 'N' makes the glob pattern evaluate to nothing when it doesn't match (rather than throw a globbing error)
# - '.' matches "regular files"
# - 'mh+24' matches files (or directories or whatever) that are older than 24 hours.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
