HOWTO: Twitter DM with OTR

Twitter DM + OTR: A quick and dirty tutorial

With the recent removal of the 140-character limit in Direct Messages by Twitter, DM's have now become a much more useful platform for communicating between individuals and groups. Sadly, DM's are still sent in plaintext between users and Twitter has no plans currently on encrypting these messages, at least as of August 2015. Since these are stored in plaintext at rest, an adversary can see the content of the message you are sending, which the two parties might not wish to happen.

CentOS 7 Kickstart File & How to build an (auto install) ISO

CentOS 7 Kickstart File - HOWTO Build ISO

There is so much documentation online from RedHat and CentOS about this topic - it's sad that I am writing this. But the real state of documentation on this topic (CentOS 7 + KS + ISO = Bootable DVD) is almost non-existent.

I found this: http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/151-building-a-custom-centos-7-kickstart-disc-part-1

Which I greatly appreciate and +1, but the documentation is half-baked and there are numerous errors.

Finally... FINALLY! After four days of banging my head, I got this to work. Hopefully someone else will be able to do this in a few hours, instead of blowing their weekend like me. :(

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.
