gif-from-tweet

There are so many great GIFs out there and I want to have copies of them. Twitter makes that harder than it should be by converting them to MP4 and not providing access to the source material. To make it easier, I made a bash pipeline that takes a tweet URL and a filename, extracts the MP4 from that tweet and uses ffmpeg to convert back to GIF.

Dependencies

  • ffmpeg
    • macOS: brew install ffmpeg
    • Ubuntu/Debian: apt install ffmpeg

Golang landmines

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

func print(pi *int) { fmt.Println(*pi) }

Create animated GIFs using mpv
-- Create animated GIFs with mpv
-- Requires ffmpeg.
-- Adapted from http://blog.pkh.me/p/21-high-quality-gif-with-ffmpeg.html
-- Usage: "g" to set start frame, "G" to set end frame, "Ctrl+g" to create.
local msg = require 'mp.msg'
-- Set this to the filters to pass into ffmpeg's -vf option.
-- filters="fps=24,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos"

How to recover a dropped stash in Git?

How to recover a dropped stash in Git?

1. Find the stash commits

git log --graph --oneline --decorate ( git fsck --no-reflog | awk '/dangling commit/ {print $3}' )

This will show you all the commits at the tips of your commit graph which are no longer referenced from any branch or tag – every lost commit, including every stash commit you’ve ever created, will be somewhere in that graph.

Mini tutorial for configuring client-side SSL certificates.

Client-side SSL

For excessively paranoid client authentication.


Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.

PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
