Make .vagrant tree host-specific · Issue #3362 · mitchellh/vagrant - 4 views

  • I keep my local repos in a Dropbox folder so I can switch between my desktop and laptop seamlessly and still have the current state of everything be synced, including changes that haven't been committed yet.
  • 1. vagrant halt to shutdown machines 2. added "export VAGRANT_DOTFILE_PATH=.vagrant-laptop" to ~/.bashrc 3. open new terminals to inherit the new env var 4. move .vagrant to .vagrant-laptop 5. vagrant up -- it works! 6. change "/.vagrant" to "/.vagrant*" in my .gitignore

Reconnecting your SSH agent to a detached GNU screen session | tolaris.com - 3 views

  •  
    This is almost perfect!  For me, on Debian 7.1, Remi's code needed a small tweak. I put backticks around `whoam`i It allows me to use git push/pull after I have disconnected and reconnected to a screen session. SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$(find /tmp/ssh-* -user `whoami` -name agent\* -printf '%T@ %p\n' 2>/dev/null | sort -k 1nr | sed 's/^[^ ]* //' | head -n 1)

      Might be useful to get into the habit of using logs for later troubleshooting.
  • –size-only Modifies rsync’s “quick check” algorithm for finding files that need to be transferred, changing it from the default of transferring files with either a changed size or a changed last-modified time to just looking for files that have changed in size

      Sounds like webdav clocks gets sufficiently out of sync with the local machine to cause trouble with rsync. I wonder if it leads to unnecessary download of entire files. Does this mean that unison won't work on webdav drives?

BBC NEWS | Technology | Tweeting mouse trap and window | June 2009 - 0 views

    'The house that tweets' This 2 minute video interview with Andy Stanford-Clark is much more entertaining than the YouTube interview I bookmarked earlier. Lots of action shots of home telemetry, Andy's Java midlet on his phone, and what I think is a GNOME desktop showing his home's web interface.

      So, Etoile is more than just a window manager, it is a compiler project with an alternative to the NeXT/Apple model of software development.
