A 1LOC bash script for re-running tests whenever a lib/ or test/ file changes keeping the same VM instance
# You will need fswatch installed (available in homebrew and friends)
# The command below will run tests and wait until fswatch writes something.
# The --stale flag will only run stale entries, it requires Elixir v1.3.

# Instruct the interpreter to create a network request and create an object representing the request state. This can be done using the urllib module.
import urllib.request
import tarfile
thetarfile = "http://file.tar.gz"
ftpstream = urllib.request.urlopen(thetarfile)
thetarfile = tarfile.open(fileobj=ftpstream, mode="r|gz")
thetarfile.extractall()
# The ftpstream object is a file-like that represents the connection to the ftp server. Then the tarfile module can access this stream. Since we do not pass the filename, we have to specify the compression in the mode parameter.

A script that fetches a ChromeOS image for ARM32 and extracts the Widevine binary, saving it in a compressed archive for use with Vivaldi

The included script 'widevine-flash_armhf.sh' fetches a ChromeOS image for ARM and extracts the Widevine binary, saving it in a compressed archive. Since it downloads a fairly large file (2Gb+ on disk after download) it is recommended that you run the script on a machine that has plenty of disk space.

To install the resultant archive, issue the following on your ARM machine–after copying over the archive if needed:

sudo tar Cfx / widevine-flash-20200124_armhf.tgz

(Where 'widevine-flash-20200124_armhf.tgz' is updated to reflect the actual name of the created archive)
