Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Sending emails from Django during development without using a real SMTP server. Python comes with a very basic and integrated SMTP server. To start it just open a terminal and type: python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025 Then configure your settings.py using the following parameters. You will see the email directly in the terminal …
if DEBUG:
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'testing@example.com'

Putting the "Tor" back in Torrent

Putting the "Tor" back in Torrent

How a Popcorn Time fork patch could incentivize people to run thousands of new Tor relays

This is a follow-up to this discussion: Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

If torrents are P2P's killer application, and NAT traversal/"static IP" are Tor's (via hidden services), putting them together could prove to be the best incentivization scheme for growing the Tor network other than cold crypto cash.

You're stupid

Everybody knows you're not supposed to use torrents with tor, right?
