"""
Return True if the given path is a Windows reparse point (junction, symlink, mount point, etc.).
On non-Windows, just use os.path.islink.

Given a list of compromised NPM packages, check to see which have an updated or retracted version, or which are still compromised when pulling the most recent. Run with "node .\checkPackages.js .\packages.txt".

Python script that extracts a flat list of sites from a mirrormanager website URL. The usecase is to generate a white list for everything that can be touched from a yum.repos.d directory. In case of Rockylinux, note you'll need both Rocky Linux and Fedora site mirrors!
# This will use beuaitful soup to get thet list of linux mirror sites from a linux mirror site. Usecase
# for me was to generate a whitelist for a proxy server.

Installing the AWS CFN helper scripts on Ubuntu 24.04. At the moment of writing, the aws-cfn-bootstrap-py3-latest.tar.gz helpers such as cfn-init and cfn-signal are not updated for python 3.12. A solution would be to use a virtual environment during bootstrapping or cloudinit.
# This should be able to run in cfn-init / EC2 userdata
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
export VENV_DIR=/opt/aws/cfn-bootstrap-venv
export HELPER_SCRIPTS_BIN_DIR=/opt/aws/bin
# Install python 3.11 from deadsnakes, this will not be the default python, that will stay on 3.12
apt update
apt-get install -y tzdata software-properties-common # Maybe only required in docker?
add-apt-repository -y ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

b0tting / DeleteKeyStorageItems.yml
Last active April 5, 2024 12:28
When working with the Rundeck key storage API you have a limited set of calls to work the tree with. I had a use case where I need to clear out a given path before syncing. This recursive ansible task walks the Rundeck key storag tree and deletes all items. Ansible will complain loudly about having to reuse the item loop_var, but you can safely …

debug:
msg: "Deleting path: {{ deleting_storage_path }}"

query_uri: "/api/{{ rundeck_api_version }}/storage/{{ deleting_storage_path }}/"
