Free O'Reilly Books

Free O'Reilly books and convenient script to just download them.

Thanks /u/FallenAege/ and /u/ShPavel/ from this Reddit post

How to use:

  1. Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
  2. cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
  3. Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.

Using bcrypt with promises to hash a password and then verify it
const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
// use this library in case your version of node doesn't support Promise
// const Promise = require("promise");
let password = "hello";
let stored_hash = "";
// first generate a random salt
function genSalt(password) {

Virtual hosts

Let's say you want to host domains first.com and second.com.

Create folders for their files:

Configuration for ProPublica’s Tor hidden service proxy.

Note (December 16, 2021): These example files haven't been updated since 2016. In either 2019 or 2020, our onion domain was changed to a longer v3 onion address (p53lf57qovyuvwsc6xnrppyply3vtqm7l6pcobkmyqsiofyeznfu5uqd.onion). The examples below don't reflect this, but the configuration portions remain accurate regarding how we currently serve the onion site. (Tor Browser dropped support for v2 addresses, such as propub3r6espa33w.onion, in the second half of 2021.)


These files contain the base configuration for ProPublica’s Tor hidden service mirror.

Of note:

  • We're using the nginx "subs_filter" and "headers more" modules to allow us to rewrite content and update headers, so that we can convert clearnet links into onion links, where possible.

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
