An nginx configuration that can be added to your /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory to proxy from the local nginx server through to other servers running on other ports. Primarily this is useful when you want to view a site using HTTPS but don't want to associate the certificate with that local server.

The following proxys work:

http://localhost/ => http://localhost:9966/
https://localhost/ => http://localhost:9966/

https://localhost/<port>/ => http://localhost:<port>/
https://localhost// =&gt; http://localhost:/

Emoji guide:

• 👯 Supports co-op gameplay (my preference over PvP)
• 😵 Can get a bit addictive...
• 💵 Game has a payments system and they try and get money from you other than through the purchase price
• ⚙️ Can require a bit of a grind to be rewarding
• 🎫 Available on MS Xbox Game pass which I think is reasonable value...
• 💺 Best enjoyed in a couch co-op scenario

A collection of useful commands for dealing with various systems.

git

List all (local) branches and report date and sort in descending order:

git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/ --format='%(committerdate:short) %(refname:short)'

This is a simple shell script that is designed to provision both nginx and node on your machine. I primarily wrote it for use with Vagrant and an example Vagrantfile is included in the Gist as well.

Brightess Fix

When brightness controls stop responding manually trigger a brightness update. Once this is done brightness controls seem to respond again. Not sure if the lspci command is required, when my linux foo is stronger I'm sure I'll know...

lspci -nn | grep VGA
echo 3500 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Currently trawling NPM in search of a node module that makes working with CSS and browserified code "feel" better. My first thought was to seek out an existing project (or create one) that took a programmatic approach to CSS generation.

Here's what I've found:

Generators in Code

Shortlist

• jcss: Some nice features, and worthy of further investigation. Looks active.

Message Bus App Architecture

This is some research focused around looking for node modules that support the development of an application that makes heavy use of a central message bus for cross component communication. The process for identifying potential components was simply to start by looking for packages that depend node the node-redis module, as at this this stage we see redis being the mechanism for powering the bus.
