Arch Linux Full-Disk Encryption Installation Guide

This guide provides instructions for an Arch Linux installation featuring full-disk encryption via LVM on LUKS and an encrypted boot partition (GRUB) for UEFI systems.

Following the main installation are further instructions to harden against Evil Maid attacks via UEFI Secure Boot custom key enrollment and self-signed kernel and bootloader.

Preface

You will find most of this information pulled from the Arch Wiki and other resources linked thereof.

Note: The system was installed on an NVMe SSD, substitute /dev/nvme0nX with /dev/sdX or your device as needed.

How to Change Open Files Limit on OS X and macOS

This text is the section about OS X Yosemite (which also works for macOS Sierra) from https://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/performance/open-files-limit/#mac-os-x

The last time i visited this link it was dead (403), so I cloned it here from the latest snapshot in Archive.org's Wayback Machine https://web.archive.org/web/20170523131633/https://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/performance/open-files-limit/

Mac OS X

To check the current limits on your Mac OS X system, run:

narulkargunjan

import os
import codecs

data_directory = os.path.join('..', 'data',
                              'yelp_dataset_challenge_academic_dataset')

businesses_filepath = os.path.join(data_directory,
                                   'yelp_academic_dataset_business.json')

with codecs.open(businesses_filepath, encoding='utf_8') as f:

# PowerView's last major overhaul is detailed here: http://www.harmj0y.net/blog/powershell/make-powerview-great-again/
#   tricks for the 'old' PowerView are at https://gist.github.com/HarmJ0y/3328d954607d71362e3c

# the most up-to-date version of PowerView will always be in the dev branch of PowerSploit:

# New function naming schema:
#   Verbs:
#       Get : retrieve full raw data sets
#       Find : ‘find’ specific data entries in a data set

Category theory jargon cheat sheet

A primer/refresher on the category theory concepts that most commonly crop up in conversations about Scala or FP. (Because it's embarassing when I forget this stuff!)

I'll be assuming Scalaz imports in code samples, and some of the code may be pseudo-Scala.

Functor

A functor is something that supports map.
