Encoding the private key as base64

• Copy the private key to clipboard
• Run command pbpaste | base64 | pbcopy on mac or xclip -selection clipboard -o | base64 -w 0 | xclip -selection clipboard on 'nix systems
• The private key is now base64 encoded in the clipboard. Paste it to env variable e.g. to heroku or to .env file

Decoding the private key from base64 in node.js

const private_key = new Buffer(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, 'base64').toString('ascii');

From Github's documentation, the below demonstrates how-to explicitly change the permission mode of a file so that it doesn’t get reset every time there is a clone/fork.

git update-index --chmod=+x <filename>

For example, to give entrypoint.sh executable permissions:

Simple Alternative to ssh-copy-id

Replace user with the name of the user you want to ssh as.

Replace the ip with the ip of the machine / host / vps you want to connect to.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@ip "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

Tincre cookie consent setup

This document reviews how we setup cookie consent for client applications.

On a high-level our implementation allows for a legal operational cookie that simply says "true" if the user has provided consent or "false", if not.

In Next.js React applications the following setup provides a persistent, user-friendly means to cookie options and our measurement of those options.

Installation

The following steps are meant to be simple and straightforward.

Today we ran into an issue adding a multi-database setup to prior single-db setup. Here's how we fixed it and reference links.

What to do

From the maintainer of Flask-Migrate, Miguel Grinberg:

I was able to convert a single-db repository to multi-db with the following procedure:

• backup everything just in case!
• rename your migrations folder to something else (i.e. migrations-old)

"You write a test by creating a file with a name ending in _test.go that contains functions named TestXXX with signature func (t *testing.T). The test framework runs each such function; if the function calls a failure function such as t.Error or t.Fail, the test is considered to have failed."

Testing reverse.go

To test a file named reverse.go simply create a file named reverse_test.go in the package directory with the following content:

# This uses Python to grab the filename, since bash and other shell
# scripting languages are comparably unreadable.
