quinn.io

Shoutout to Harrison Borges for introducing me to Zed As a long time TextMate and Sublime Text user, switching to Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ for their much more powerful IDE features took a long time to finally commit to and was a difficult process of

One thing I'm very excited about is using ESM in the browser.

one of the limiting factors of Omarchy I mentioned in a previous post is that Omarchy does not support a configurable shell.

For a project I was working recently I wanted to see if I could start with a fairly limited color palette so I didn't have to worry too much about colors.

I made this because I really couldn't find a tool that does this.

I was backing up my servers, but I realized I have my home directory as a separate mount point, so I should be able to try installing Omarchy now without thoroughly backing up all my files: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/nvme0n1p1…

How did we end up here I've decided to add Unity to my long list of unfinished "learn a new thing" projects.

I've worked a bit more on the compiler, implementing the parsing and code generation steps.

As a programmer I enjoy building things.

All I wanted to do was redirect quinnshanahan.com to quinn.io.

I'm putting down the steps I took to set this thing up before I forget.

Functional demo can be found here: GitHub — quinn/lambda-nodejs-example Here’s a process for creating simple backends for a web client app.

General project structure: . ├─ (app code) ├─ containers | └─ some.image.name | └─ Dockerfile ├─ docker-compose.yml └─ Dockerfile From here, you can setup how the images should be built and how the containers should be run.

This is a bit hackish, I'd love to know if there is a more "official" solution out there.

Enter a container To do this you'll need a tool called nsenter.

The solution here uses ModSecurity and is based mostly on this article by Todd Garrison.

There are various tools that provide log anaslysis for apache.

For some recent work I've had to identify and fix some Denial of Service / brute force attacks for one of our clients.

I recently was working on a project where iframes seemed to be the most logical solution.

This is somewhat of a follow-up to this post: http://tastehoneyco.com/blog/running-nginx-in-the-foreground/ The instructions there are simple enough and it works great, but no output is logged while NGINX is running.

First of all, let's start with links to the relevant postgres docs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/hstore.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/arrays.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-array.html The postgres pro…

If you are are using the rspec-rails gem you should know that there are a ton of really good ways to test controllers.

Docker is a wonderfully fun tool that makes building something like a PaaS almost trivial.

This has been previously documented, but the predominant way is this: https://gist.github.com/gonzedge/1563416 There are a number of things obviously wrong with this, and I always disliked this technique because it completely overrode rails' existing hand…

If you're planning on using nginx as a frontend to one or more app processes, it can be helpful to setup and test things locally.

Bundler provides a mechanism to override a gem with a local one which works as follows: bundle config local.GEM_NAME /path/to/local/git/repository This is great and easy to understand.

I'm going to document here some basics about git.

I just coded up a simple plugin to enable placeholder text for inputs in browsers that don't support it yet.

Exciting news, my friend Kevin (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kevin-incorvia/20/339/508/) just launched an alpha of his new site: http://contactjam.com.

Is everyone up on ctrl+R in bash?

I know Datamapper is probably considered "old news" at this point, which is something I think unfortunate considering its low adoption rate.

I just updated my server to use nginx from apache/mod_php because loading wordpress on my tiny slicehost slice was tanking the poor thing.
