All Kinds of cool solutions today:
Alternative Today I Learned.
Aside from just looking really slick, one really nice thing about this is that each post is limited to 200 words. I may adopt that here because some of these have grown to prodigious, if not quite novel lengths.
Ansible FTW
The other day I dove way into some bash foo. Turns out that was all
unnecessary now that I know about the raw and script modules for
ansible.
altssh FTW
Was faced with a situation where a machine had a relatively restrictive firewall policy, and didn't want to have to resort to HTTPS git (long story the machine also has an old git version that does not have git-credential-cache).
Turns out this is not a new problem. Without further ado I present:
Host gitlab.com
Hostname altssh.gitlab.com
User git
Port 443
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab
Host github.com
Hostname ssh.github.com
Port 443
