You can trigger a GitHub Pages (Jekyll) rebuild with a single API call. This is pretty useful for auto-publishing blog posts from a bot like Zapier in conjunction with future: false in your Jekyll config.yml. Just future-date your posts, and they'll go live when that date rolls around. I use a version of this setup for my blog at greghaskins.com.

Setup

  1. Create a GitHub personal access token and save it somewhere. It needs to have the repo access scope (at least).

  2. Create a file at the root of your repo (e.g. .publish) with some dummy content.

    $ echo ".publish" > .publish

Effective Modern CMake

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

Working with raw disk images with GPT + EFI partition in linux

What is the purpose of this guide?

I originally wanted to create bootable disks for UEFI (i)PXE booting, meaning I could directly boot premade disk images over the network, no matter what they may contain.

While this guide serves my purpose well, it's also generic enough to be extended to almost any use case. For example, you might use it as temporary or even portable storage, mountable across different operating systems, or you might use it as a disk image for a virtual machine.

DISCLAIMER: Be very careful with the commands listed below, as you could potentially not only cause data loss, but even prevent your operating system from booting, no matter how unlikely either of those may be. Pay attention to the commands, comments and differences between the guide and your local environment.

How to mount a qcow2 disk image

This is a quick guide to mounting a qcow2 disk images on your host server. This is useful to reset passwords, edit files, or recover something without the virtual machine running.
