Encrypt a text field in Mongoose MongoDB ORM

Encrypting text fields in Mongoose is easy using Node's built-in crypto module. You might want to do this if you're using MongoDB as a service (see the recent MongoHQ security breach); or, if you're storing OAuth tokens that could, in the wrong hands, screw with somebody's account on a 3rd party service. (Of course, you should never encrypt passwords: those should be hashed.)

Imagine you have a Mongoose model like that shown below, which is modified only slighly from the example on the MongooseJS homepage.

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');

var User = mongoose.model('User', {
 name: String,

NGINX tuning for best performance

Moved to git repository: https://github.com/denji/nginx-tuning

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

Moving git repository and all its branches, tags to a new remote repository keeping commits history
#!/bin/bash
# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.
#
# Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish
# to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to.
#
### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo"
### branches and tags.
