Migrate a Proxmox VM from SeaBIOS to OVMF (UEFI)

• Under the VM's Hardware tab, change BIOS from Default (SeaBIOS) to OVMF (UEFI) in the Proxmox web UI
• Click Add at the top and select EFI Disk. Select a location and click OK.
• Boot the VM using Boot Repair Disk. Alternatively, boot any live CD and install the Boot Repair tool. Instructions for Ubuntu here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
• Use Gparted or your favourite partitioning tool to create an EFI partition. Note: You may need to resize your disk and adjust your partition layout.
• Run the Boot Repair tool and choose the recommended option. Follow the instructions

NB: This works on a disk partitioned using MBR.

GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

1. Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
2. Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
3. Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
4. Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

Need

Convert .mov/.MP4 to .gif

Reason

As a developer, I feel better to upload a short video when I create the pull request to show other viewers what I did in this PR. I tried .mov format directly got after finishing recording screen using Quicktime, however, gif offers preview in most web pages, and has smaller file size.

This is not limited to developer, anyone has this need can use this method to convert the files.
