Latest Centos 7 AMI

That’s around the internet but I keep searching for it every time, so here it is as a public memory:

Assuming:

• You want an HVM, EBS backed, x86_64 image of the latest version of CentOS 7
• You have configured the desired region and credentials for the AWS SDK
• The Owner ID for the official CentOS organisation remains 679593333241

mysql 5.6 low memory config for 512MB boxes

to the posterity:

artisan in any subdir of your git repo.

alias artisan='php `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/artisan'

You can thank me later.

You've forgot one file out of your last commit, didn't ya?

And now you’ve got 2 commits that were supposed to be one. Fear not!

Add this to your Alias section of ~/.gitconfig:

squash = "!f(){ git reset --soft HEAD~${1} && git commit --edit -m\"$(git log --format=%B --reverse HEAD..HEAD@{1})\"; };f"

Now you can simply do a git squash 2 to join these last 2 commits together.

One dev of your team with windows? configure his git first.

git config --system core.autocrlf input<br /> git config --global core.autocrlf input<br />

After that you can clone the repo and go on.

Arduino with Mac OS X Yosemite

trying to download an arduino program in Yosemite and not working?

The FTDI driver Apple wrote is the culprit.

`

disable the Apple FTDI driver first

cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns sudo mv AppleUSBFTDI.kext AppleUSBFTDI.disabled

now reboot

`

Download the new driver here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

When Ive tried, the last version was v2.2.18: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_18.dmg

Install the new driver and happy arduino.

homestead 2.0 nfs mounts

So you are using homestead, all fancy with it, to discover later that its slow, really slow.

After some googling around you discover that you can use NFS instead, and a few solutions involve changing homestead code. Not true. You only need to add a “type: nfs” in your mount point config in Homestead.yaml:

`

artisan in any subdir

So shell git aliases always runs in the repo root directory!

<br /> git config --global --add alias.artisan '!./artisan '<br /> alias art='git artisan'<br />

There, you can run artisan in any subdirectory of your git repository without messing up with PATH.
