If you have an M1 Mac and want to compile and execute x86_64 assembly code, make sure you install Rosetta 2 and nasm (brew install nasm).

Than, take a 64 Bit assembly program, e.g. from this tutorial page (https://cs.lmu.edu/~ray/notes/nasmtutorial/) in Section "Your First Program" for macOS, save it to a file called hello.asm.

Compile, link and execute the program:

nasm -f macho64 hello.asm
ld hello.o -o hello -macosx_version_min 11.0 -L /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib -lSystem

./hello

Show IP of your Docker container

tested on Arch Linux x64 4.5.4-1-ARCH

Ever needed the IP of your running docker container? I found a script somewhere on Stackoverflow, packed it into a function and created an alias for it. This function is just a shorthand to get the IP by container ID or by the container's name:

Append this to your .bash_aliases or similar:

# ~/.bash_aliases

Strapi: The missing Docs

Strapi is a great project, but lacks of a good documentation concerning customization. This gist presents some of my findings / experiments to customize strapi.

Add policies to existing routes

My use-case: find and findOne need to be active to keep nested queries on other user-relations. But if I allow authenticated users to access these routes, they can access all users. So I customize these routes with my own policies:

A Docker Multistage Build reduces the complexity of a production image to a minimum. Since it is very easy to build jars from Clojure applications, we can just use an JRE to bring it to production.

Let's create a sample project using the app template with Leiningen:

lein new app foo
cd foo

To give access to a role from the users-permissions model in Strapi v4, you need to create a permission and add it to the role.

Useful for testing. Gives authenticated users access to the provided routes.

import request from "supertest";
import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from "../../../../tests/helpers/strapi";
import { createUser } from "../../../../tests/user/factory";

let user;

// Thanks, you helped me a lot! https://github.com/haysclark

import strapi, { Strapi } from "@strapi/strapi";
import { compile } from "@strapi/typescript-utils";
import * as fs from "fs";

let instance: Strapi;

export const setupStrapi = async (): Promise<Strapi> => {

To cache the layer containing the dependencies from your Clojure project, you can execute a command without starting a REPL. This downloads all common dependencies, which are then be cached.

For example:

FROM clojure:openjdk-14-tools-deps-alpine

# Cache and install Clojure dependencies
COPY deps.edn .

Fix Mattermost Permission Problem

This solution is based the code snippet provided @nsteinmetz in this issue.

If you deployed mattermost via the helm chart, you might experience the same problem as we at @schnaq did: the mounted volumes belong to root but not to the mattermost user. This is a problem if you want to install settings, or new plugins (e.g. the playbook or the focalboard).

To fix this, we checked the id of the mattermost user in our running pod:

I have a huge amount of data in an Excel-Sheet and want to get some statistics of it. Since I am only using LibreOffice, which is not very comfortable, and I am really loving web-techniques to build UIs / visualizations, I decided to use devcards and ClojureScript with React.js to build some Charts.

This is inspired by this gist, but I want to use it with om.next and devcards, which is why I am writing this gist.
