Install with Homebrew

brew install redis

Set up launchctl to auto start redis

$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

/usr/local/opt/redis/ is a symlink to /usr/local/Cellar/redis/x.y.z (e.g., 2.8.7)

Basecamp was under network attack

The attack detailed below has stopped (for the time being) and almost all network access for almost all customers have been restored. We're keeping this post and the timeline intact for posterity. Unless the attack resumes, we'll post a complete postmortem within 48 hours (so before Wednesday, March 26 at 11:00am central time).

Criminals have laid siege to our networks using what's called a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) starting at 8:46 central time, March 24 2014. The goal is to make Basecamp, and the rest of our services, unavailable by flooding the network with bogus requests, so nothing legitimate can come through. This attack was launched together with a blackmail attempt that sought to have us pay to avoid this assault.

Note that this attack targets the network link between our servers and the internet. All the data is safe and sound, but nobody is able to get to it as long as the attack is being successfully executed. This is like a bunch of people

GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

	function retry(isDone, next) {
	var current_trial = 0, max_retry = 50, interval = 10, is_timeout = false;
	var id = window.setInterval(
	function() {
	if (isDone()) {
	window.clearInterval(id);
	next(is_timeout);
	}
	if (current_trial++ > max_retry) {
	window.clearInterval(id);


	// Returns a function, that, as long as it continues to be invoked, will not
	// be triggered. The function will be called after it stops being called for
	// N milliseconds. If `immediate` is passed, trigger the function on the

	function debounce(func, wait, immediate) {
