Setting up ssh public key authentication on macOS using a YubiKey 4

Setting up ssh public key authentication on macOS using a YubiKey 4

I largely followed Florin's blog post, but have a few notes to add regarding issues I encountered:

Basic setup notes

  1. I used a YubiKey 4, while the blog describes using a YubiKey NEO. I'm sure a YubiKey 5 would also work. I'm also running macOS 10.13.6.
  2. I installed GPGTools as recommended. However, as I'll note later, it seems that gpg-agent only automatically starts when gpg is used; for ssh, you'll need to ensure it's running.
  3. Before generating your keys, decide what key size you want to use. If you run the list command inside gpg --edit-card, look for the Key attributes line to see what is currently selected. On my YubiKey 4, it defaulted to 2048 bits for all keys:
Key attributes ...: rsa2048 rsa2048 rsa2048

Using CI/CD for deployment of ECS task definitions and images causes drift between the tfstate and AWS. Using a bash script in a Terraform External Data Source to pull the current task definition revision and container image tag from AWS keeps the state in sync with changes from CI. This does not currently support multiple containers in a single…
resource "aws_ecs_service" "service" {
name = "${var.app}"
cluster = "${var.cluster}"
# Use task revision in AWS if it is greater than task revision in tfstate

task_definition = "${aws_ecs_task_definition.app.family}:${data.external.task_definition.result["task_definition_revision"] > aws_ecs_task_definition.app.revision ? data.external.task_definition.result["task_definition_revision"] : aws_ecs_task_definition.app.revision }"

Warming up EBS volumes on RDS replicas/snapshots (ruby script)
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'pg'
=begin
when creating a postgres db replica in RDS, or restoring from a snapshot, the
underlying EBS volume of the new instance must be initialized by reading every
block, otherwise the blocks will be lazy-initialized by production queries
which will be extremely latent. (i've seen normally 50ms queries take 30s in

Linux on MacBook Pro Late 2016 and Mid 2017 (with Touchbar)

Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 27, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.14.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there are a couple tutorials (here and here) focused on that distro and the MacBook.

Note: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - se
