Run SSH Agent w/Modified Options (MacOS Big Sur, No Homebrew, No SIP Modification)

The following will show you how you can modify the startup options of the SSH agent supplied by MacOS in a non-invasive way. This can be useful for doing things like setting a key lifetime, which can then be used with AddKeysToAgent in your ~/.ssh/config to automate the timing out of saved keys. This ensures that your passphrase is re-asked for periodically without having to shutdown, re-log, or having it actually persisted in keychain, the latter being almost as bad as having no passphrase at all, given that simply being logged in is generally enough to then use the key.

This method does not modify the system-installed SSH agent service (com.openssh.ssh-agent), but rather duplicates its functionality into a user-installed launch agent where we can then modify the options. Modifying the system-installed service is becoming increasingly harder to do; SIP generally protects

ZSH CheatSheet

This is a cheat sheet for how to perform various actions to ZSH, which can be tricky to find on the web as the syntax is not intuitive and it is generally not very well-documented.

Strings

Description	Syntax
Get the length of a string	`${#VARNAME}`
Get a single character	`${VARNAME[index]}`

XDG - Base Directory Specification

Directories

Base

The intended use-case for BaseDirectories is to query the paths of user-invisible standard directories that have been defined according to the conventions of the operating system the library is running on.

Using a Local Registry with Minikube

Install a local Registry

These instructions include running a local registry accessible from Kubernetes as well as from the host development machine at registry.dev.svc.cluster.local:5000.

Use the docker CLI to run the registry:2 container from Docker, listening on port 5000, and persisting images in the ~/.registry/storage directory.

Installing WSL (windows subsystem for linux)

Running the azure-team terraform make file to create your infrastructure may not work on a Windows machine. If you cannot get it to run, install a linux distribution where you will exectute the tf files. Setting up a distribution with all of the right dependencies does involve a bit of setup to get it configured properly. The following is a list of steps you'll need to complete:

Install WSL
Change the mount point from /mnt/c to /c
Install homebrew
Set up git credential manager
Install sqlcmd

Install WSL

Installing tmux-256color for macOS

macOS has ncurses version 5.7 which doesn't ship the terminfo description for tmux. There're two ways that can help you to solve this problem.

The Fast Blazing Solution

Instead of tmux-256color you can use screen-256color, place this command into your ~/.tmux.conf.

set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

	using namespace System.Management.Automation
	using namespace System.Management.Automation.Language

	if ($host.Name -eq 'ConsoleHost')
	{
	Import-Module PSReadLine
	}
	#Import-Module PSColors
	#Import-Module posh-git
	Import-Module -Name Terminal-Icons
