MySQL vs PostgreSQL Schema changes benchmarks
The basic idea here is to substantiate the claims made by this square post:
http://corner.squareup.com/2011/06/postgresql-data-is-important.html
In PostgreSQL, and MySQL (MyISAM and InnoDB) I create millions of rows and then add
and remove columns and add and remove indexes. For columns without defaults this is
basically free in PostgreSQL and O(n) in MySQL. For adding indexes its at best O(n)
everywhere, but with PostgreSQL it claims not to do any locking that would otherwise
prevent table interaction.
Also, PostgreSQL has _awsome_ documentation (it has real examples!). I always get

TRIM Enabler for OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
#
# UPDATE for 10.10.4+: please consider this patch obsolete, as apple provides a tool called "trimforce" to enable trim support for 3rd party SSDs
# just run "sudo trimforce enable" to activate the trim support from now on!

# Original version by Grant Parnell is offline (http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/)
# Update July 2014: no longer offline, see https://digitaldj.net/blog/2011/11/17/trim-enabler-for-os-x-lion-mountain-lion-mavericks/

Mac port使用
Mac Port 基本用法总结
1. Mac Port的下载地址
http://www.macports.org/install.php
2. Mac Port的说明文档
http://guide.macports.org/
3. Mac Port中第三方软件下载包存放的默认路径是:/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/
为了提高安装速度,可以在安装新port时直接将此目录下的文件拷贝到新的Mac Port相同的目录中就可以避免Port去网上下载。

Redis based IP blacklist for Nginx (LUA)
-- a quick LUA access script for nginx to check IP addresses against an
-- `ip_blacklist` set in Redis, and if a match is found send a HTTP 403.
--
-- allows for a common blacklist to be shared between a bunch of nginx
-- web servers using a remote redis instance. lookups are cached for a
-- configurable period of time.

-- block an ip:
-- redis-cli SADD ip_blacklist 10.1.1.1
-- remove an ip:
