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.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Prebase

git-prebase improves on 'git rebase -i' by adding information per commit regarding which files it touched.

• Each file gets an alpha-numeric identifier at a particular column, a list of which appears below the commit list. (The identifiers wrap around after the 62nd file)
• Commits can be moved up and down safely (without conflicts) as long as their columns don't clash (they did not touch the same file).

Installation

Add the executable to your path and git will automatically expose it as

GPG / Mutt / Gmail

About

This is a collection of snippets, not a comprehensive guide. I suggest you start with Operational PGP.

Here is an incomplete list of things that are different from other approaches:

• I don't use keyservers. Ever.
• Yes, I use Gmail instead of some bespoke hipster freedom service

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

• -crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
• -b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.
