macOS: use ssh-agent from nix-env

This recipe allows you to use the ssh-agent from nix-env with the auto generated SSH_AUTH_SOCK in /private/tmp. It works because disabling com.openssh.ssh-agent doesn't stop launchd from allocating SSH_AUTH_SOCK. com.nix.ssh-agent spawns a shell to remove the socket and then execute the homebrew ssh-agent.

  1. Install openssh from nix: nix-env --install --attr nikpkgs.openssh
  2. Disable the built in macOS agent: launchctl disable gui/$UID/com.openssh.ssh-agent
  3. Copy com.nix.ssh-agent.plist into ~/Library/LaunchAgents
  4. Enable the new agent: launchctl bootstrap gui/$UID ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nix.ssh-agent.plist
  5. Ensure that the correct agent is running:

This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

Set the iTerm tab title to the current directory, not full path.
# put this in your .bash_profile
if [ $ITERM_SESSION_ID ]; then
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033];${PWD##*/}\007"; ':"$PROMPT_COMMAND";
fi
# Piece-by-Piece Explanation:
# the if condition makes sure we only screw with $PROMPT_COMMAND if we're in an iTerm environment
# iTerm happens to give each session a unique $ITERM_SESSION_ID we can use, $ITERM_PROFILE is an option too
# the $PROMPT_COMMAND environment variable is executed every time a command is run

How to stream the London 2012 Olympics

How to stream the London 2012 Olympics

There have been several HOWTOs posted regarding streaming the 2012 Olympics using HTTP / SOCKS proxies via SSH and other similar methods. None of these actually work using the latest Flash on Mountain Lion (with Firefox, Chrome or Safari). Additionally, the third-party streaming sites don't provide BBC's amazing interface, which lets you quickly skip to individual competitors and events. However, setting up an OpenVPN server does work, with some tweaks. You'll get the exact same UX that people in England receive.

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.
