A quick note on how I'm currently handling Blue/Green or A/B deployments with Terraform and AWS EC2 Auto Scaling.

In my particular use case, I want to be able to inspect an AMI deployment manually before disabling the previous deployment.

Hopefully someone finds this useful, and if you have and feedback please leave a comment or email me.

Overview

I build my AMI's using Packer and Ansible.

Ignore all that craziness below.  These can be set from the cli with the "pritunl" command.

The commands below can be used to get/set the values of the cert, key, port and if the :80 -> "app.server_port" redirect is active.


# Get current SSL server cert:
pritunl get app.server_cert

# Get current SSL server key:
pritunl get app.server_key

How to disable the very little-known AT&T setting that can appear to hijack your home DNS lookups and redirect to 104.239.207.44

Issue

DNS queries on home network suddenly resolving hosts to 104.239.207.44.

Symptoms

You will see SPORADIC mis-resolutions of EVERYTHING to that 104.239.207.44 address if their crappy router happens to hear your PC's DHCP request - EVEN IF ANOTHER DHCP SERVER ON THE NETWORK assigns the ultimate address.

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

If you're using a high-end bluetooth headset on your Macbook Pro it's likely your mac is using an audio codec which favors battery efficiency over high quality. This results in a drastic degradation of sound, the SBC codec is the likely culprit, read more about it here.

Find out what codec you're using

1. Play a song on your headphones
2. Option (⌥) click the Bluetooth button at the top of your screen
3. If you're using AAC or aptX, you can stop here—those are the highest quality codecs.

Change your codec to AAC or aptX
