Encrypted Btrfs storage setup and maintenance guide

Initial setup with LUKS/dm-crypt

This exemplary initial setup uses two devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc but can be applied to any amount of devices by following the steps with additional devices.

Create keyfile:

dd bs=64 count=1 if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/cryptkey iflag=fullblock
chmod 600 /etc/cryptkey

How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

I screwed up using git ("git checkout --" on the wrong file) and managed to delete the code I had just written... but it was still running in a process in a docker container. Here's how I got it back, using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrasite/ and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6

Attach a shell to the docker container

Install GDB (needed by pyrasite)

apt-get update && apt-get install gdb

# Extract files from Bare git-annex repositories without git-annex
# Supports version v6
#
# See internals: http://git-annex.branchable.com/internals/
#
# Modified: added non-bare repos, added tar file (of symlinks) output for use with archivemount
#
# TODO: improve output
# TODO: use cat-files instead of archive

In Terminal

mkdir ~/.bash

Copy the raw git-prompt.sh file from git contrib in to the ~/.bash directory: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh

Inside ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (choose the file where you normally put any bash customizations/setup), add the lines:

Kim's Very Long and Boring Email Text File about File Versioning and Servers.

Hello all.

This is A Very Long and Boring Email Text File about File Versioning and Servers.

Please feel free to point and laugh, but this is all stuff that I've learnt the hard way, and that we should start to do as we get bigger. It doesn't take long for all this to become a habit; something you don't even think about doing. When it's working properly, it offloads a load of organisational stuff from your brain, too - which is nice, and what computers should help you do.
