How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

-- 1. Place in ~/Library/Scripts and enable the Applescript menu via the Applescript Editor
-- (Or export to .app to run from spotlight.)
-- 2. Substitute "vpn.example.com" and "redacted" for your VPN server and password
-- 3. Open Security & Privacy System Preferences, go to Privacy, Accessibility
-- 4. Enable Applescript Editor and System UI Server (or for this .app if so exported)
-- 5. Trigger script from the menu (or run from spotlight)
-- 6. Enjoy being connected
-- 7. Run script again to close connection

Code glossary

Code glossary

A useful list of programming jargon to solve your naming problems.

Adapter: a design pattern that translates one interface for a class into a compatible interface.

Admin: short for 'administrator'; very commonly used in speech or online to refer to the systems person in charge on a computer. Common constructions on this include sysadmin and site admin (emphasizing the administrator's role as a site contact for email and news).

Counter: a variable or user interface that counts occurrences or repetitions of some phenomena or event.

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

# .bashrc
/** @jsx React.DOM */
var MyComponent = React.createClass({
render: function() {
// Defaults in case the props are undefined. We'll have a solution for this
// soon that is less awkward.
var perMinute = this.props.perMinute || '-';
var perDay = this.props.perDay || '-';

Modify the Crawl function to fetch URLs in parallel without fetching the same URL twice.
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
type Fetcher interface {
// Fetch returns the body of URL and
// a slice of URLs found on that page.
Fetch(url string) (body string, urls []string, err error)

So, you want to run Chrome headless.

Update May 2017

Eric Bidelman has documented some of the common workflows possible with headless Chrome over in https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome.

Update

If you're looking at this in 2016 and beyond, I strongly recommend investigating real headless Chrome: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md

Windows and Mac users might find using Justin Ribeiro's Docker setup useful here while full support for these platforms is being worked out.
