# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
#
# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby

ffmpeg livestreaming to youtube via Nvidia's NVENC and Intel's VAAPI on supported hardware

Streaming your Linux desktop to Youtube and Twitch via Nvidia's NVENC and VAAPI:

Considerations to take when live streaming:

The following best practice observations apply when using a hardware-based encoder for live streaming to any platform:

  1. Set the buffer size (-bufsize:v) equal to the target bitrate (-b:v). You want to ensure that you're encoding in CBR mode.

  2. Set up the encoders as shown:

Upgrading auth.User - the profile approach

Upgrading auth.User - the profile approach

This proposal presents a "middle ground" approach to improving and refactoring auth.User, based around a new concept of "profiles". These profiles provide the main customization hook for the user model, but the user model itself stays concrete and cannot be replaced.

I call it a middle ground because it doesn't go as far as refactoring the whole auth app -- a laudable goal, but one that I believe will ultimately take far too long -- but goes a bit further than just fixing the most egregious errors (username length, for example).

This proposal includes a fair number of design decisions -- you're reading the fifth or sixth draft. To keep things clear, the options have been pruned out and on the one I think is the "winner" is still there. But see the FAQ at the end for some discussion and justification of various choices.

Workflows (States) in Django

I'm going to cover a simple, but effective, utility for managing state and transitions (aka workflow). We often need to store the state (status) of a model and it should only be in one state at a time.

Setting up Nginx, uWSGI & Python3
======================================
Setting up Nginx, uWSGI and Python3
======================================
First off, I'm traditionally a PHP developer, but am looking at moving across to Python. I really struggled to find decent documentation on how to get a server up and running for deploying Python web applications from the point of view of someone coming from PHP. The main problems I came across with documentation were:
1) Only showed you how to run the server for a single web application.
2) Only showed you how to configure the app, not the server it was running on.
My preferred workflow for development is by setting up a new VM in VMware Fusion and then forwarding through all requests to that VM via /etc/hosts. This might not be the optimal way to get things up and running, but it works for me.

Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!

Nginx reverse-proxy for RethinkDB Admin UI

Start your rethinkdb instance with this flag: --bind all (or bind=all in the configuration file for your instance)

Block external access to the web UI with these two commands: sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DROP sudo iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

Install nginx: sudo apt-get install nginx
