# While GNU coreutil's ls is generally more featureful (including colorization
# based on file extensions, SI size formats, ISO date and time formats,
# semantic version sort, etc.), OS X's fork of FreeBSD ls allows viewing HFS+
# extended attributes and access control lists through the -@ and -e flags,
# respectively.
#
# This script provides a shim to allow BSD ls to be invoked with GNU-style
# flags and .dircolor files, and a function that shadows ls, invoking coreutils
# ls by default but automatically switching to the shim when the -@ and/or -e
# flags are detected.

# High-performance, native SSH implementation for Jenkins SSH slaves. Jenkins'

# That standard implementation combines all of the convenience of a pure Java

ChefDK, Test Kitchen Driven NTP Cookbook via Docker

This gist is a fork from lamont-granquist modified to be even easier and faster by taking advantage of Docker. Given the rapid development and change rate of Chef finding this gist with instructions that still are valid and reasonable was much appreciated.

This gist uses TK+Berkshelf to drive creating a vagrant virts and converging a simple recipe to install and configure NTPd. This is a simple cookbook that has one recipe, one template (for ntp.conf) and one attribute file. It works on Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 and CentOS 6.4/7.1 (and derviatives) and the attribute file is used to support both distros.

This should work on Mac (where I developed it) and any chef-supported Linux that you can get Docker onto (Ubuntu/CentOS).

Because I use ChefDK and Test Kitchen, I can largely ignore setting up Docker and Berkshelf and can get right to work on writing recipe code.

The new Secure Password Hashing API in PHP 5.5

The [RFC for a new simple to use password hashing API][rfc] has just been accepted for PHP 5.5. As the RFC itself is rather technical and most of the sample codes are something you should not use, I want to give a very quick overview of the new API:

Why do we need a new API?

Everybody knows that you should be hashing their passwords using bcrypt, but still a surprising number of developers uses insecure md5 or sha1 hashes (just look at the recent password leaks). One of the reasons for this is that the crypt() API is ridiculously hard to use and very prone to programming mistakes.
