Setting up Heroku and Cloudflare (the right way)

The following outlines how to setup Heroku + Cloudflare with a full SSL certificate. What this means is that communication between the browser and the Cloudflare CDN is encrypted as well as communication between Cloudflare and Heroku’s origin server. Follow these steps exactly and the setup is a breeze.

Step 1: Set up domain names in Heroku

First you want to add the root domain and the www domain to heroku. You do this by clicking into your production application, then going to settings and then scrolling down to Domains and certificates.

Here you will add <your_domain>.com and www.<your_domain>.com. This will give you two CNAME records. They will look something like <your_domain>.com.herokudns.com and www.<your_domain>.com.herokudns.com.

Step 2: Add CNAME records to Cloudfare.

Debloating Nox

Nox, despite being the most feature-filled Android emulator, has a lot of negativity surrounding it due to their antics when it comes to making income off of their program. It is known for running repeated advertisments in the background, calling home and passing along system information (outside of your Android instance) as well as a vast amount of potentially sensitive data in an encrypted payload back to their multitude of servers. With the following preventitive measures, we can stop a majority of this happening as well as greatly improve the overall performance.

Download and Install a fresh copy of Nox. The latest version is fine (for now). If you already have it installed, that is fine too. No need to reinstall.
Enable Root Mode on Nox by clicking the gear icon and then checking the Root Startup box.
Install a new Launcher from the Play Store. ANYTHING but Nox's default. I suggest [Nova Launcher](https://play.google.com/s

Forcing a better default playback quality of YouTube videos

If a user is browsing videos on YouTube.com from a web browser on a higher-end device (e.g., VR headsets), the user has to manually override the playback quality of a video through the playback-controls bar at the bottom of the video: Settings > Quality.

Forcing a different playback quality of a YouTube video

Load a YouTube video. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELU-43DMNT4
Then paste some of this code in the DevTools' Console.
You'll notice the quality changes to the highest available for the video.
