                Install Mcrypt on macOS
              
          
    Setup php-mcrypt on macOS (and versions of Mac OS X)

These steps should have been mentioned in the prerequisites of the Laravel Installation Guide, since I'm surely not the only person trying to get Laravel running on macOS.
Install

Install Mcrypt using Homebrew and PECL (comes with PHP)
# PHP 7.3

    Adding SFTP-only user to Ubuntu Server

To add a SFTP-only user, you'll need to make sure your SSH config settings are correct, add a new user/group and set permissions for your new user. For step-by-step directions, see below. Omit sudo if you're logged in as root.
Directions


Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure to add the following at the end of the file:
 Match group filetransfer

                API Golden Rules
              
          
    Never Expose DB Results Directly


If you rename a field, then your users are fucked. Convert with a hardcoded array structure.
Most DB drivers [for PHP] will show integers as numeric strings and false as "0", so you want to typecast them.
Unless you're using an ORM with "hidden" functionality, people will see passwords, salts and all sorts of fancy codes. If you add one and forget to put it in your $hidden array then OOPS!

Use the URI sparingly, and correctly


Use the query string for paired params instead of /users/id/5/active/true. Your API does not need to be SEO optimised.
?format=xml is stupid, use an Accept: application/xml header. I added this to the CodeIgniter Rest Server once for lazy people, and now people think it's a thing. It's not.

## safesleep.txt
In early November, 2012, Apple issued a graphics update for all mid-2012 MacBooks. In a continued streak of stupidity, however, this update forces your Mac to use "Safe Sleep". This means that the entire contents of your RAM is written to your disk every time you put your Mac to sleep.

This is retarded on the scale of the Titanic's navigational plan for two reasons:

1) Your Mac likely has 8 or 16GB of RAM. This is a ton of wasted disk space; especially on MacBook Airs that ship with only 256GB SSDs to begin with.

2) SSDs wear out as you write to them. Each cell of a SSD can only be written to a certain number of times before it becomes read-only. If you put your computer to sleep many times a day, OS X is slowly but surely destroying your SSD with unneeded write cycles.

Worst of all, the graphics update makes it IMPOSSIBLE to turn off safe sleep using the standard approach you'll find on Google:
