Created February 12, 2016 08:46 — forked from SabretWoW/rspec_model_testing_template.rb
Rails Rspec model testing skeleton & cheat sheet using rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, shoulda-callbacks, and factory_girl_rails. Pretty much a brain dump of examples of what you can (should?) test in a model. Pick & choose what you like, and please let me know if there are any errors or new/changed features out there. Reddit comment thread: http…
# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
#
# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!

Downloading stuff off of tumblr

TL;DR skip to the summary for the bash one-liner if so inclined :-)

Why & wherefore

I have an old tumblr that I want to back up. I don't use it regularly, but I want to have a backup of the whole site, design as well as content, just in case; it's not just the pictures I love, but the whole thing. I'm not particularly worried about downloading the streaming audio--can't help you there, gentle reader.

mschewe / ArchLinux VyprVpn OpenVPN Setup
Last active September 30, 2016 21:15
I am having some problems connecting with Giganews VyprVPN service.
As you can see in the output.txt it all seems to work.
Some services like speedtest.net use the correct VPN location.
Others like Google Analaystics can still detect my real location.
I believe this have something to do with my setup:
ArchLinux - 4.7.5-1-ARCH
openvpn --version 1 ↵
