Mutt, Gmail and GPG

GPG / Mutt / Gmail

About

This is a collection of snippets, not a comprehensive guide. I suggest you start with Operational PGP.

Here is an incomplete list of things that are different from other approaches:

  • I don't use keyservers. Ever.
  • Yes, I use Gmail instead of some bespoke hipster freedom service

Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Elasticsearch - Index best practices from Shay Banon
If you want, I can try and help with pointers as to how to improve the indexing speed you get. Its quite easy to really increase it by using some simple guidelines, for example:
- Use create in the index API (assuming you can).
- Relax the real time aspect from 1 second to something a bit higher (index.engine.robin.refresh_interval).
- Increase the indexing buffer size (indices.memory.index_buffer_size), it defaults to the value 10% which is 10% of the heap.
- Increase the number of dirty operations that trigger automatic flush (so the translog won't get really big, even though its FS based) by setting index.translog.flush_threshold (defaults to 5000).
- Increase the memory allocated to elasticsearch node. By default its 1g.
- Start with a lower replica count (even 0), and then once the bulk loading is done, increate it to the value you want it to be using the update_settings API. This will improve things as possibly less shards will be allocated to each machine.
- Increase the number of machines you have so

Zoom on Linux notes

In a zoom?

xdotool search --name "Zoom Meeting ID:"

This will exit non-zero if no meeting matching this name is found. "Zoom Meeting ID:"

This window exists regardless of sharing or not sharing, in my tests.
