Mixed Active Content is now blocked by default in Firefox 23!

What is Mixed Content?
When a user visits a page served over HTTP, their connection is open for eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. When a user visits a page served over HTTPS, their connection with the web server is authenticated and encrypted with SSL and hence safeguarded from eavesdroppers and MITM attacks.

However, if an HTTPS page includes HTTP content, the HTTP portion can be read or modified by attackers, even though the main page is served over HTTPS. When an HTTPS page has HTTP content, we call that content “mixed”. The webpage that the user is visiting is only partially encrypted, since some of the content is retrieved unencrypted over HTTP. The Mixed Content Blocker blocks certain HTTP requests on HTTPS pages.

There various tools for a web-based project management applications, but the one which is fantastic is Trello with its ease of use and free of charge.
The similar version of Trello in Persian is Taskulu. It is also a great tool for project management.

I could not find a mobile version for Taskulu, but there are for Trello. Take a look at them both in the following links:

sed linux command:

sed stands for Stream Editor. As its name advertise it works on stream of text (input file, input pipleline).
General command executation:

sed REGEX INPUTFILE

For instance if you want to replace hi with bye in hibye.txt file:

sed 's/hi/bye/' hibye.txt

It will print the result into standard output (console). If you want to put the output in a file:

sed 's/hi/bye/' hibye.txt > output.txt

Instead of INPUTFILE we can put - which then reads from standard input:

cat hibye.txt | sed 's/hi/bye/' -

Now if you want to put the output in a file:

cat hibye.txt | sed 's/hi/bye/' - > output.txt

As until now you have seen, sed command writes output to standard output, if you want to write the result to the file itself, use -i as below:

sed -i 's/hi/bye' hibye.txt

So in the above command the result will be written to hibye.txt itself.

In this tutorial we would go over rendering templates by using shortcuts and using dynamic urls in views. We also complete the detail function to load question details from database.

Export all collection documents in MongoDB to a JSON file:

Install htop on CentOS from source:

htop is a real-time process viewer for Linux. First, install prerequisites and download the source:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
 yum install ncurses-devel
 wget http://hisham.hm/htop/releases/2.0.2/htop-2.0.2.tar.gz
 tar xvfvz htop-2.0.2.tar.gz
 cd htop-2.0.2/

Prepare for compilation:

./configure

By default, htop will be installed under /usr/local/bin. If you want to change installation location to something else (e.g., /usr/ bin`), run configure script with `--prefix option instead. For example:

./configure --prefix=/usr

build and install htop as follows:

make
 make install

Voila! You're done. just run it using:

htop

#linux #centos #htop #compile #source #install

For REST APIs it usually happens to encode client-id and client-secret to send to an endpoint to get access token.
It has been said in API documentation that send data like below:

Basic BASE64_ENCODEDED_VALUE_OF(CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET)

There is an online tool for exactly that specific purpose (encode, decode base64).

Go to link below:
- https://www.base64encode.org/

#base64 #base64encode #client_id #client_secret #api #rest #webservice

You are on a server and all of a sudden you need your public IP address. You can do it using cURL and terminal:

$ curl ifconfig.co
 142.17.150.17

The website will just spit out the IP address with no bullshit around it! It is more specifically used by sysadmins.

#linux #sysadmin #curl #ifconfig #ifconfigco

In order to load json config file in Cement python framework, you simply need to include the json extension, and then set the CementApp.Meta.config_handler to json:

from cement.core.foundation import CementApp

 class MyApp(CementApp):
     class Meta:
         label = 'myapp'
         extensions = ['json']
         config_handler = 'json'
         config_extension = '.json'

This will keep the default config_files list intact, but use .json instead of .conf for the files it looks for.

#python #cement #json #config

In case you want to store special characters inside of MySQL table field, you need to change the table encoding like below:

ALTER TABLE YOUR_TABLE CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

#database #mysql #charset #character_set #collate #utf8 #utf8_unicode_ci #alter

Simplify chained comparison

It sometimes happen you write code in python like below:

if your_date >= start_date and your_date <= end_date:
     pass

You can simplify the code above as below:

if start_date <= issue_date <= end_date:
     pass

This kind of comparison is called chained comparison in a simplified manner.

#python #if #chained_comparison
