tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

How to set up an SSL cert from StartSSL

1. create a private key and certificate and transfer them to your server (do this at startssl.com).

2. Decrypt the private key by using the password you entered when you created your key:

   openssl rsa -in ssl.key -out /etc/nginx/conf/ssl.key
   

3. Protect your key from prying eyes:

Nginx FastCGI response buffer sizes

By default when Nginx starts receiving a response from a FastCGI backend (such as PHP-FPM) it will buffer the response in memory before delivering it to the client. Any response larger than the set buffer size is saved to a temporary file on disk.

This process is outlined at the Nginx ngx_http_fastcgi_module page manual page.

• Introduction
• Determine actual FastCGI response sizes
• Setting the buffer size
• Verifying results

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Git DMZ Flow

I've been asked a few times over the last few months to put together a full write-up of the Git workflow we use at RichRelevance (and at Precog before), since I have referenced it in passing quite a few times in tweets and in person. The workflow is appreciably different from GitFlow and its derivatives, and thus it brings with it a different set of tradeoffs and optimizations. To that end, it would probably be helpful to go over exactly what workflow benefits I find to be beneficial or even necessary.

• Two developers working on independent features must never be blocked by each other
  • No code freeze! Ever! For any reason!
• A developer must be able to base derivative work on another developer's work, without waiting for any third party
• Two developers working on inter-dependent features (or even the same feature) must be able to do so without interference from (or interfering with) any other parties
• Developers must be able to work on multiple features simultaneously, or at lea
