Repeat Jest test

The following is a quick and dirty bash script that runs a specific Jest test 10 times and counts how many times it failed and the number of occurences for the same error.

It uses jest-silent-reporter to keep the output clean and only output the errors, so be sure to install it before running the script.

Example output:

Success: 6
Failed: 4

Make DKMS sign kernel modules on installation, with full script support and somewhat distro independent

On systems with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, recent Linux kernels will only load signed modules, so it's about time DKMS grew the capability to sign modules it's building.

These scripts are extended and scriptified variants of https://computerlinguist.org/make-dkms-sign-kernel-modules-for-secure-boot-on-ubuntu-1604.html and https://askubuntu.com/questions/760671/could-not-load-vboxdrv-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04-and-i-want-to-keep-secur/768310#768310 and add some error checking, a passphrase around your signing key, and support for compressed modules.

dkms-sign-module is a wrapper for the more generic sign-modules which can also be used outside of DKMS.

Installation

  1. Create a directory under /root, say /root/module-signing, put the three scripts below in there and make them executable: chmod u+x one-time-setup sign-modules dkms-sign-module

Converting a scanned PDF to EPUB ebook (or other format)

Caveat

You're not going to get a beautiful EPUB out the other end - if that's what you're looking for, expect to do some manual clean-up work yourself.

Basic order of operations:

  • Convert your PDF to an OCR-friendly format
  • OCR that shit into plaintext
  • Convert that plaintext into your format of choice (in this case, an EPUB)
