How to download streaming video

Streaming just means a download that they don't want you to keep. But Chrome's developer tools make it easy to access what's really going on under the hood.

Open Developer Tools

From the page where you want to download some things, go into your chrome menu to open the developer tools. You can either:

1.  (On a mac): Command-option-J
2. (On a PC): Control-alt-J

Heroku Release Phase + Review Apps + Rails

This is a simplified, but fairly thorough, set of scripts and configuration to enable Heroku Release Phase for Rails apps. Further, this particular set up plays nicely with Heroku Review Apps in that the release phase script will:

1. Fail, loudly, if the DB does not yet exist.
2. Load the DB schema if the current schema version (as determined by bin/rails db:version) is 0.
3. Run DB migrations otherwise.

For a "normal" app that usually means it will run the DB migrations.

exFAT support on macOS seems to have some bugs because my external drives with exFAT formatting will randomly get corrupted.

Disk Utility is unable to repair this at first, but the fix is this:

1. Use diskutil list to find the right drive id.
2. You want the id under the IDENTIFIER column, it should look like disk1s1
3. Run sudo fsck_exfat -d <id from above>. eg sudo fsck_exfat -d disk1s3
4. -d is debug so you'll see all your files output as they're processed.
5. Answer YES if it gives you the prompt Main boot region needs to be updated. Yes/No?
