Exposing a directory on the host machine to an LXC container

1. Log into the container and create an empty directory, this will be the mount point
2. Log out and stop the container.
3. Open to your container's config file
   • For regular LXC containers: /var/lib/lxc/mycontainer/config
   • For unprivileged LXC containers: $HOME/.local/share/lxc/mycontainer/config
4. Add a new line above the lxc.mount directive, that follows the format below. Substitute proper paths as necessary:
   • lxc.mount.entry = /path/to/folder/on/host /path/to/mount/point none bind 0 0

• Both of these paths are relative to the host machine.

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

require "active_record"

namespace :db do

  db_config       = YAML::load(File.open('config/database.yml'))
  db_config_admin = db_config.merge({'database' => 'postgres', 'schema_search_path' => 'public'})

  desc "Create the database"
  task :create do
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(db_config_admin)

Using Apple’s Aerial Screensavers on Ubuntu After coming across the [Aerial] (https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial) screensavers for Mac, and installing them, I decided that I had had enough of the graphics-demos of my Ubuntu Precise system. I hope to provide a simple guide on how to add them to your setup as well.

First, you need to install xscreensaver (for example with aptitude, but your distro should have it):

sudo aptitude install xscreensaver

# waitForX [<cmd> [<arg> ...]]
#
# Wait for X Server to be ready, then run the given command once X server
# is ready.  (Or simply return if no command is provided.)

function LOG {
    echo $(date -R): $0: $*
