Friendly URLs in Rails

Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

Rename files with a hash based on their contents. eg: `abc.jpg` to `3101ace8db9f.jpg`. Useful for detecting duplicates.

OverEncrypt - paranoid HTTPS

OverEncrypt

This is a guide that I wrote to improve the default security of my website https://fortran.io , which has a certificate from LetsEncrypt. I'm choosing to improve HTTPS security and transparency without consideration for legacy browser support.

WARNING: if you mess up settings, lose your certificates, or decide to no longer maintain HTTPS certs, these steps can and will make your domain inaccessible.

I would recommend these steps only if you have a specific need for information security, privacy, and trust with your users, and/or maintain a separate secure.example.com domain which won't mess up your main site. If you've been thinking about hosting a site on Tor, then this might be a good option, too.

The best resources that I've found for explaining these steps are https://https.cio.gov , https://certificate-transparency.org , and https://twitter.com/konklone

Auto Populate Wordpress ACF Repeater values

Add default values to ACF Repeater Fields

I came across this solution when I had about a ton of posts (200+) with values in various PDFs. I didn't want to have to spend time filling out the same values over and over again.

Walkthrough

This case is pretty straight forward; I have one repeater field field_123a56b7cb890 that has a text fields inside it (field_588a24c3cb782). I haven't tried any other types like post objects or radio buttons, but I'm sure it can be done.

Step 1. Hook into acf/load_value on your repeater field. You can use type/key/name as desired here.
