Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

TensorFlow Serving in 10 minutes!

TensorFlow SERVING is Googles' recommended way to deploy TensorFlow models. Without proper computer engineering background, it can be quite intimidating, even for people who feel comfortable with TensorFlow itself. Few things that I've found particularly hard were:

• Tutorial examples have C++ code (which I don't know)
• Tutorials have Kubernetes, gRPG, Bezel (some of which I saw for the first time)
• It needs to be compiled. That process takes forever!

After all, it worked just fine. Here I present an easiest possible way to deploy your models with TensorFlow Serving. You will have your self-built model running inside TF-Serving by the end of this tutorial. It will be scalable, and you will be able to query it via REST.

Kafka 0.11.0.0 (Confluent 3.3.0) added support to manipulate offsets for a consumer group via cli kafka-consumer-groups command.

1. List the topics to which the group is subscribed

kafka-consumer-groups --bootstrap-server <kafkahost:port> --group <group_id> --describe

Note the values under "CURRENT-OFFSET" and "LOG-END-OFFSET". "CURRENT-OFFSET" is the offset where this consumer group is currently at in each of the partitions.

2. Reset the consumer offset for a topic (preview)

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
