Ruby 1.9.2 RVM w/iconv FreeBSD installation HOWTO

The Problem

Recently, trying to run some of my crutches (the Ruby thingies I use to help me sysadmining) under RVM, I've found that require 'iconv' doesn't work. Since I knew it's working in standard lang/ruby18 and lang/ruby19 ports I started to search where is the trap and have found that. Here's how.

Prerequisites

• rvm installed
• system ruby installed

Setup Mac OS X

I've done the same process every couple years since 2013 (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, High Sierra, Catalina) and I updated the Gist each time I've done it.

I kinda regret for not using something like Boxen (or anything similar) to automate the process, but TBH I only actually needed to these steps once every couple years...

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

This guide provides detailed steps for setting up DNS records, configuring a DNS tunneling server and client, and setting up a browser for secure proxy connections.

Why iodine?

• Bypassing Network Restrictions: iodine excels in environments with strict network restrictions. It utilizes DNS queries, which are typically allowed through firewalls, to tunnel data where traditional methods like VPNs might be blocked.
• Efficient for Limited Bandwidth: Ideal for situations with bandwidth limitations, iodine requires less bandwidth compared to standard VPNs, making it a practical choice for networks with restricted data flow.
• Customizability and Open Source: As an open-source tool, iodine offers extensive customization options. Users with specific technical needs or those interested in a hands-on approach to network tunneling can tailor iodine to their requirements.
