Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

Convert a SnakeViz HTML file into a self-contained static file that can be hosted anywhere. This script replaces instances of static files being loaded from the local server by having them come from the rawgit CDN.
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Prepare an HTML file from SnakeViz for use as a static page.
This makes it so all static files are loaded from a CDN instead
of from the local server.
To get the SnakeViz HTML file run the snakeviz CLI to load a profile
in your browser, than save that page as an HTML file to your computer.
Finally, run this script on that HTML file.
