I short list of SEO tips and tricks I have learned over time

SEO

In this list, I will be typically be talking SEO as it relates to Google because Google will likely account for the vast majority of your inbound search traffic. Additionally, if you rank highly on Google, you will probably do well on other search engines anyway. Just like in football if you could play in the Major league you would most likely kill it in the minor league I would begin by explaining why SEO is important talk a little bit about what SEO is about and talk about how those concepts relate to the world wide web. Then talk about some of the things you could do to optimize your site from top to bottom of a typical webpage.

Why it's important

  • When you want to hide something on google put it on the second page. #SEO @searchdecoder
  • Winner takes almost everything
  • More than 80 percent of shoppers research big purchases online first
  • Opertunity for business
  • 88% Of Consumers Trust Online Reviews As Much As Personal Recommendations
  • 72% Of Consumers Say That Positive Reviews Make Them T

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Nix UI

General notes

  • nix-channel and ~/.nix-defexpr are gone. We'll use $NIX_PATH (or user environment specific overrides configured via nix set-path) to look up packages. Since $NIX_PATH supports URLs nowadays, this removes the need for channels: you can just set $NIX_PATH to e.g. https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-15.09/nixexprs.tar.xz and stay up to date automatically.

  • By default, packages are selected by attribute name, rather than the name attribute. Thus nix install hello is basically equivalent to nix-env -iA hello. The attribute name is recorded in the user environment manifest and used in upgrades. Thus (at least by default) hello won't be upgraded to helloVariant.

    @vcunat suggested making this an arbitrary Nix expression rather than an attrpath, e.g. firefox.override { enableFoo = true; }. However, such an expression would not have a key in the user environment, unlike an attrpath. Better to require an explicit flag for this.

TBD: How to deal with search path clashes.

Why I hate TypeScript

Warning: These views are highly oppinated and might have some slightly incorrect facts. My experience with typescript was about 2 weeks in Node and a week in angular2.

Not Standard

TypeScript is implementing their own take on JavaScript. Some of the things they are writing will likely never make it in an official ES* spec either.

Technologies that have competing spec / community driven development have a history of failing; take: Flash, SilverLight, CoffeeScript, the list goes on. If you have a large code base, picking TypeScript is something your going to be living with for a long time. I can take a bet in 3 years JavaScript will still be around without a doubt.

Its also worth noting that they have built some things like module system and as soon as the spec came out they ditched it and started using that. Have fun updating!

Options for hardening systemd service units

security and hardening options for systemd service units

A common and reliable pattern in service unit files is thus:

NoNewPrivileges=yes
PrivateTmp=yes
PrivateDevices=yes
DevicePolicy=closed

Full disk encryption with LVM on top of LUKS.

Full disk encryption with LVM on top of LUKS.

I wanted to explore disk encryption on Linux for a long time now so I decided to give it a try and, after getting some knowledge on the topic, I decided that I wanted to achieve full disk encryption with LVM volumes on top of LUKS so in case the computer is lost not even the partitions layout would be exposed to potential threats.

Since the whole disk will contain encrypted data that the BIOS cannot understand, having a separate device is a requirement for this setup: we need a primary active partition to be available for the BIOS to delegate the boot process to the boot loader.

Benefits:

  • Deniable encryption because the hard drive will only contain unidentifiable encrypted data.
  • A form of two-factor authentication because the LUKS header will be stored on the external device.

Nix language changes

This document contains some ideas for additions to the Nix language.

Motivation

The Nix package manager, Nixpkgs and NixOS currently have several problems:

  • Poor discoverability of package options. Package functions have function arguments like enableFoo, but there is no way for the Nix UI to discover them, let alone to provide programmatic ways to
