Nice things you can do with cURL # Resolve a hostname with a given ip curl http://iix.se --resolve iix.se:80:206.189.18.126 # Run many queries in a loop (either for looping or load testing) curl 'http://localhost:8080/oauth/login?[1-10]' -d '{ "username": "[email protected]", "password": "secret" }' -vvv -H "Content-Type: application/json" # Light load testing an endpoint (Z=parallell, -s/-o removes output, -w sets new output) curl -Z -so /dev/null -w "%{time_total} %{http_code}\n" 'https://acme.system.com/api/endpoint?[1-20]'

Hugo is a framework for building static webpages. It pairs well with creating a git repository and creating a push-webhook which rebuilds the homepage every time you change it. This post is just documenting how to do just that for an existing hugo repository. Create a static repo with nginx pointing to it Clone a hugo repo and put it in /srv/hugo.iix.se Pop over to the folder and run hugo to generate a static page chown -R nginx:nginx /srv/hugo.iix.se Create a nginx vhost with location / { root /srv/hugo.iix.se/public } systemctl nginx reload Check that the page works Create an endpoint for updating This can be be done in a number of ways, but an easy way is creating a fastcgi endpoint in nginx, since we got that running already. ...

Things I have learned from troubleshooting mySQL queries Links Index och prestanda i MySQL Join types (from explain) MySQL Profiling Commands # Run query without cache SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE * from users where name like 'Ol%'; # Profiling SET SESSION profiling = 1; SHOW PROFILES; SHOW PROFILE FOR QUERY 3; SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Last_Query_Cost'; How to index/optimize Optimize OR Example: SELECT * FROM users where customerNumber='qwe' OR birthDate='2020-01-01'; You need an index for each OR, which will create a merge index on modern innoDB. If you are missing an index for one OR you will have to do a full table scan. Basically, one condition can ruin the query. If you create a joined index on (customerNumber, birthDate) or (birthDate, customerNumber) they will have not effect. To use a joined index you have to do two solo queries and UNION them. ...

Game will be in windowed mode, but it’s better than nothing ...

One problem which I encounter time and time again when creating a webpage or applications is matching text color with a changing background color. When creating a GUI you usually create a lot of white boxes with a black text on it, just to get sizes and stuff matching. Then later a designer or customer decides on a theme which affects how that box looks. Most of the time the background and text colors are hand-selected so they match well enough, but from time to time you have to create a box which can change background color on demand, and then you have to have the text color matching to make the box readable. I have done too many slightly different solutions to this problem, so I thought I would write something down here. Since most of the time, text colors are off-white and off-black, the formula should be tweakable to match any given hue. ...
