Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Instructions for exporting/importing (backup/restore) GPG keys

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

Print for NodeJS using CUPS backend
var ipp = require('ipp'); //get it from there - https://npmjs.org/package/ipp - $npm install ipp
var request = require('request'); //get it from there - https://npmjs.org/package/request - $npm install request
var fs = require('fs');
function getPrinterUrls(callback) {
var CUPSurl = 'http://localhost:631/printers';//todo - change of you have CUPS running on other host
request(CUPSurl, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
var printersMatches = body.match(/<TR><TD><A HREF="\/printers\/([a-zA-Z0-9-^"]+)">/gm);//i know, this is terrible, sorry(
var printersUrls = [];
