A minimal HTTP server in python. It sends a JSON Hello World for GET requests, and echoes back JSON for POST requests.

python server.py 8009
Starting httpd on port 8009...

curl http://localhost:8009
{"received": "ok", "hello": "world"}

Use struct{} as keys for context.Value() in Go

In the other file of this gist I detail why we should use struct{} as context.Value() keys and not int or string. Open gist to see main.go but the TLDR is:

	type key struct{}
	ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, key{}, "my value") // Set value
	myValue, ok := ctx.Value(key{}).(string) // Get value

Typing vagrant from the command line will display a list of all available commands.

Be sure that you are in the same directory as the Vagrantfile when running these commands!

Creating a VM

vagrant init -- Initialize Vagrant with a Vagrantfile and ./.vagrant directory, using no specified base image. Before you can do vagrant up, you'll need to specify a base image in the Vagrantfile.
vagrant init <boxpath> -- Initialize Vagrant with a specific box. To find a box, go to the public Vagrant box catalog. When you find one you like, just replace it's name with boxpath. For example, vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64.

Starting a VM

vagrant up -- starts vagrant environment (also provisions only on the FIRST vagrant up)

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

How to Generate & Use Private Keys using OpenSSL's Command Line Tool

These commands generate and use private keys in unencrypted binary (not Base64 “PEM”) PKCS#8 format. The PKCS#8 format is used here because it is the most interoperable format when dealing with software that isn't based on OpenSSL.

OpenSSL has a variety of commands that can be used to operate on private key files, some of which are specific to RSA (e.g. openssl rsa and openssl genrsa) or which have other limitations. Here we always use
