# As the "bufferbloat" folks have recently re-discovered and/or more widely
# publicized, congestion avoidance algorithms (such as those found in TCP) do
# a great job of allowing network endpoints to negotiate transfer rates that
# maximize a link's bandwidth usage without unduly penalizing any particular
# stream. This allows bulk transfer streams to use the maximum available
# bandwidth without affecting the latency of non-bulk (e.g. interactive)
# streams.

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

I recently had the following problem:

• From an unattended shell script (called by Jenkins), run a command-line tool that accesses the MySQL database on another host.
• That tool doesn't know that the database is on another host, plus the MySQL port on that host is firewalled and not accessible from other machines.

We didn't want to open the MySQL port to the network, but it's possible to SSH from the Jenkins machine to the MySQL machine. So, basically you would do something like

ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remotehost

Theory

• faking other user's commits is easy with --author flag $ git commit --author='Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>' -m 'some commit'

• signing commits ensures:

  • someone else can't commit as myself

• I really commited all the commits I sign

Exporting (iCloud) Keychain and Safari credentials to a CSV file

Update (October 2021)

Exporting password + one-time code data from iCloud Keychain is now officially supported in macOS Monterey and Safari 15 (for Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina). You can access it in the Password Manager’s “gear” icon (System Preferences > Passwords on Monterey, and Safari > Passwords everywhere else), or via the File > Export > Passwords... menu item). You shouldn't need to hack up your own exporter anymore.

Original, Obsolete Content (2014)

After my dad died, I wanted to be able to have access any of his online accounts going forward. My dad was a Safari user and used iCloud Keychain to sync his credentials across his devices. I don’t want to have to keep an OS X user account around just to access his accounts, so I wanted to export his credentials to a portable file.
