This script will download all the published rubytapas. Each episode, with all the attachments, will be downloaded in a folder named after the episode number. For example, in the folder "64" will be downloaded: 064-yield-or-enumerate.html, 064-yield-or-enumerate.mp4, 064-yield-or-enumerate.rb You need to set your credentials (username and passwor…

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption
