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

Simple WordPress bulk insert function

Simple WordPress Bulk Insert

A very simple function to perform bulk SQL inserts, since WPDB doesn't provide one directly. The aim is for simplicity - both in the function itself, and in using it - rather than being a massive beast which covers all possible incorrect usage scenarios. Provide it with clean, consistent data, and it should hopefully be able to do what you want without issue.

Notes:

  • Provide a table name and an array of associative arrays of rows to insert
  • Column names are pulled from the first row of data automatically
  • Make sure you provide the same fields in each row (there's no protection for this)
  • Data types (for WPDB placeholders) are auto-detected for each individual value (using is_numeric())
  • There is no protection for exceeding maximum query size (i.e. MySQL's max_allowed_packet); you could pre-batch into smaller "safe" chunks if you need to handle this case - or just find a better way to insert such a large amount of data

[Legacy GOPATH mode] How to `go get` private repos using SSH key auth instead of password auth.

WARNING: This gist was created in 2013 and targets the legacy GOPATH mode. If you're reading this in 2021 or later, you're likely better served by reading https://tip.golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Configuration_for_downloading_non_public_code and https://golang.org/ref/mod#private-modules.

$ ssh -A vm
$ git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[url "git@github.com:"]
	insteadOf = https://github.com/
$ go get github.com/private/repo && echo Success!
Success!
