The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

• a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
• H: preserves hard-links
• A: preserves ACLs

Quick tip for handling CSRF Token Expiration - common issue is when you use csrf protection is that if 
a form sits there for a while (like a login form, but any the same) the csrf token in the form will 
expire & throw a strange error.

Handling it is simple, and is a good lesson for dealing with other types of errors in a custom manner.

In Middleware you will see a file VerifyCsrfToken.php and be tempted to handle things there. DON'T! 
Instead, look at your app/Exceptions/Handler.php, at the render($request, Exception $e) function.

All of your exceptions go through here, unless you have excluded them in the $dontReport array at the

Configure Synology NAS as Git Server

Instructions for setting up a git server on a Synology NAS with Diskstation. Specifically, I am using a DS414 with DSM 5.0.

Set Up User and Folder

• Create user gituser via Diskstation interface (with File Station and WebDAV privilages)
• Add new shared folder called git (located at /volume1/git) with read/write access for gituser and admin. This folder will hold all the repos.
• Install Git Server package via Diskstation
