Free O'Reilly Books

Free O'Reilly books and convenient script to just download them.

Thanks /u/FallenAege/ and /u/ShPavel/ from this Reddit post

How to use:

  1. Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
  2. cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
  3. Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.

Handle CORS Client-side

Handle CORS Client-side

Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows restricted resources (e.g. fonts) on a web page to be requested from another domain outside the domain from which the first resource was served. This is set on the server-side and there is nothing you can do from the client-side to change that setting, that is up to the server/API. There are some ways to get around it tho.

Sources : MDN - HTTP Access Control | Wiki - CORS

CORS is set server-side by supplying each request with additional headers which allow requests to be requested outside of the own domain, for example to your localhost. This is primarily set by the header:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin

Analog surround sound setup on Linux with a Realtek ALC898 sound card on the Clevo P751DM2-G

Setting up analog surround sound on Ubuntu Linux with a 3 3.5mm capable sound card:

A while back, I received the Logitech Z506 Speaker system, and with Windows, setting it up was a pretty plug and play experience. On Linux, however, its' a wholly different ballgame. For one, there's no Realtek HD Audio control panel here, so what gives? How do you around this problem?

Introducing the tools of the trade:

You'll want to use a tool such as hdajackretask , pavucontrol and pavumeter for the pin re-assignments and audio output monitoring afterwards respectively. The tools are installed by running:

sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui pavumeter pavucontrol

How to create an HTTPS certificate for localhost domains

This focuses on generating the certificates for loading local virtual hosts hosted on your computer, for development only.

Do not use self-signed certificates in production ! For online certificates, use Let's Encrypt instead (tutorial).
