Docker X11 macOS

Preamble

There is a longstanding issue/missing feature/bug with sockets on Docker on macOS; it may never work; you'll need to use a network connection between Docker containers and X11 on macOS for the foreseeable future.

I started from this gist and made some adjustments:

  • the volume mappings aren't relevant/used, due to the socket issue above.
  • this method only allows X11 connections from your Mac, not the entire local network, which would include everyone on the café/airport WiFi.
  • updated to include using the host.docker.internal name for the the container host, instead.
  • you have to restart XQuartz after the config change.

So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand

So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand...

If you, like me, resent every dollar spent on commercial PDF tools, you might want to know how to change the text content of a PDF without having to pay for Adobe Acrobat or another PDF tool. I didn't see an obvious open-source tool that lets you dig into PDF internals, but I did discover a few useful facts about how PDFs are structured that I think may prove useful to others (or myself) in the future. They are recorded here. They are surely not universally applicable --
the PDF standard is truly Byzantine -- but they worked for my case.

SSH between Mac OS X host and Virtual Box guest

On Mac OS (host):

Shutdown your VM and do:

VirtualBox > Settings > Network > Add (you will get vboxnet0)

On a terminal ifconfig will show you new interface vboxnet0

VM's Settings > System > check "Enable I/O APIC." VM's Settings > Network > Adapter 2 > host-only vboxnet0

Git-crypt remove user.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to remove GPG key from git-crypt
#
# It will re-initialize git-crypt for the repository and re-add all keys except
# the one requested for removal.
#
# Note: You still need to change all your secrets to fully protect yourself.
# Removing a user will prevent them from reading future changes but they will
# still have a copy of the data up to the point of their removal.

The correct way to compile ES6 using babel...

When you create a npm package, remember it might be used in a browser or a server, or even a command line utility… For each package you create, please pay attention at what it will be used for:

  1. Is it going to be used as a dependency to a nodejs application that is not bundled? (e.g. command line utilities)
  2. Is it going to be used as a dependency to a nodejs application that is bundled? (e.g. AWS Lambdas)
  3. Is it going to be used as a dependency to a browser application (always bundled)?.
  • In cases 2) and 3) you want to allow for tree shaking.
  • In cases 1) and 2) you want to benefit from the "ES6"/"ES next" features supported natively by nodejs.
  • In case 3) you also want to benefit from the native support of "ES6" from your browser.

This sets up keybindings in tmux that allow you to copy/paste to/from your OS X clipboard from tmux running inside an SSH connection to a remote host. Partially borrowed from http://seancoates.com/blogs/remote-pbcopy
