Ever wanted to download adb or fastboot without having to download the whole of Android Studio?

...but didn't want to download executables from some random warez site?

Good news this week:

1. Disable System Integrity Protection by booting into Recovery mode (hold down Command + R during boot-up), opening Terminal, and typing csrutil disable

2. Restart your Mac and open Finder. Navigate to System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
Make a copy of the entire CoreBrightness.framework folder (save it to your desktop or a similar place).

3. In Xcode, open the copy of CoreBrightness.framework that you just created. File > Open; Browse to where you just saved CoreBrightness.framework; from within that .framework folder, choose the CoreBrightness icon at the top that looks like a shortcut.

4. In Xcode, press Shift + Command + J on your keyboard. A navigation column will appear on the left-hand side. Secondary/right-click CoreBrightness at the top of that column and choose Open As > Hex.

SSH over USB

To edit files on a raspberry pi when you are unable to mount ext4 disks, it is possible to enable SSH over USB. This is also useful if you do not have any peripherals you can attach to the pi. If however you are running linux you can directly edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, etc/network/interfaces and /etc/dhcpcd.conf.

Enable SSH

There was a security update to the Raspian images. To enable ssh you need to put a blank ssh file in the boot directory.

If you want to SSH to a VPS which is running openVPN do the following:
source: https://serverfault.com/questions/659955/allowing-ssh-on-a-server-with-an-active-openvpn-client

Enable

The problem is that the default gateway gets changed by OpenVPN, and that breaks your current SSH connection unless you set up appropriate routes before you start OpenVPN.

What follows works for me. It uses iptables and ip (iproute2). Below, it is assumed that the default gateway interface before OpenVPN is started is "eth0". The idea is to ensure that when a connection to eth0 is made, even if eth0 is not the default gateway interface anymore, response packets for the connection go back on eth0 again.

You could use the same number for the connection mark, firewall mark and routing table. I used distinct numbers to make the diffences between them more apparent.

The “Positive SSL” certificate I bought along with my domain is invalid with any of my subdomains and cannot be used with wildcards. One annoying thing is that namecheap doesn’t offer auto installation of free let’s encrypt certificates, even though, they are saying “Namecheap is dedicated to data security and privacy for all internet users. We believe the movement to encrypt nearly all web traffic is a positive direction. As more sites embrace HTTPS and use of security products, providers of free SSL are beginning to come online.”

Let me show you what it needs to be done in order to “encrypt nearly all web traffic”.

First, not required but it’s helpful to enable ssh access, it is not enabled by default on the base hosting plans, just go an start a live chat and request ssh access.
