One liner for counting unique IP addresses from nginx logs
# One liner for counting unique IP addresses from nginx logs
# Feel free to comment with better ideas - I'm sure it's not the best way of doing this (I'm no awk ninja!)

# Sample output:

# $ cat example.com.access.log | awk -F " " '{a[$1]++ } END { for (b in a) { print b, "\t", a[b] } }'
# 66.65.145.220 49

Unity plus xmonad configuration (Ubuntu 12.04)

What

This is my xmonad+unity panel config. With this config, you'll have a well integrated panel from unity but still have xmonad as your window manager with your gnome apps, including the pretty gnome-terminal (for those too lazy to learn xmoobar).

This config doesn't have the unity launcher, mainly becuse it causes windows to be unfloatable, besides I'm not fond of it anymore.

How

Copy and paste these lines (or understand what it does and do it manually).

It's a résumé, as a readable and compilable C source file. Since Hacker News got here, this has been updated to be most of my actual résumé. This isn't a serious document, just a concept to annoy people who talk about recruiting and the formats they accept résumés in. It's also relatively representative of my coding style.

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

  • No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
  • I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
  • Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
  • My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
  • If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption
