Convert .crt & .key files into .pem file for HTTParty

Two ways to do it, but only worked for me so I'll put it first and the second for reference:

$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -out hostname.p12
$ openssl pkcs12 -in hostname.p12 -nodes -out hostname.pem

Other options for this method in comments below:

# Note, the -certfile root.crt appends all CA certs to the export, I've never needed these so it's optional for my personal steps
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -in hostname.crt -inkey hostname.key -certfile root.crt -out hostname.p12

Note, I've always had my hostname.crt as part of my .pem, so I keep my certs but apparently you may not have to, hence the nocerts flag being an extra option in this sample

SiriProxy Upstart Script
Some things to note:
I'm running SiriProxy on port 2000 using a non-privileged user. I'm then redirecting internal network traffic
using iptables from port 443 to port 2000. This is more secure than running SiriProxy as root. I also have it
set up to respawn SiriProxy when it dies (which happens pretty regularly). Finally, I'm dumping all the output
to /tmp/siriproxy (in theory), but I don't seem to get output to that log. Which is unfortunate. Maybe someone
can explain what's wrong there. I'm really not an expert in Upstart either. :-)
As usual, simply copying/pasting this stuff anywhere will get you pretty much nowhere. You need to have some idea
what you're doing to make this work. Good luck!

one-line tree in python

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!
