Create a data URL from a file
function get-dataurl {
local mimeType
mimeType=$(file -b --mime-type "$1")
if [[ $mimeType == text/* ]]; then
mimeType="${mimeType};charset=utf-8"
fi
echo "data:${mimeType};base64,$(openssl base64 -in "$1" | tr -d '\n')"
}
Usage examples: get-dataurl /path/to/file.png | less
get-dataurl /path/to/file.png | xclip -selection clipboard
get-dataurl /path/to/file.png >file.txt
If you have a SOCKS proxy but you really need a HTTP proxy, you can just put a HTTP proxy on top of your existing SOCKS proxy.
In this example i'm using a SOCKS proxy provided by SSH and privoxy.
First create and test that the SOCKS proxy is working (superuser.com - How to check if a Socks5 proxy works)
Install privoxy: sudo apt get install privoxy
Configure privoxy to use your existing SOCKS proxy as the upstream by adding this to the end of the file of "/etc/privoxy/config":
listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
max-client-connections 512
forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:8888 .
The default value of "max-client-connections" is 128, which might not be high enough.
Do not mix "try_files" and "if" in a "location" scope!
Pull "master" from https://git.compilenix.org/Compilenix/tls-tester.git
Push "gitlab/master" to https://gitlab.com/compilenix/tls-tester.git
Create an empty repo on the server for https://gitlab.com/compilenix/tls-tester.
Create the branch "gitlab/master" on the server for https://gitlab.com/compilenix/tls-tester
git clone https://git.compilenix.org/Compilenix/tls-tester.git cd tls-tester git remote add lab https://gitlab.com/compilenix/tls-tester.git git config remote.pushdefault lab git config push.default current git fetch --all git checkout gitlab/master git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master
now when your current branch is "master" you can "git pull" and get the changes from https://git.compilenix.org/Compilenix/tls-tester.git
"git checkout gitlab/master" to switch to the fork
"git merge master" to merge the new changes into "gitlab/master"
do your thing to merge the new changes from upstream into your fork
"git push", while you are on the "gitlab/master" branch will push it automatically to https://gitlab.com/compilenix/tls-tester.git
Code-Signing via Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2018 Build Agent using PowerShell
Here is a brief overview
- There is a git repo on the tfs server.
- The project has a build definition which simply run's a powershell script from the project path
- This script handles the code-signing
- On the Build-Server there is a tfs build agent, running as the local service account "NETWORK SERVICE".
- The code-signing certificate is provided via the Windows Certificate Store
The tfs project build definition:
The PowerShell code to sign .ps1 files:
$Cert = (Get-ChildItem cert:\LocalMachine\My -CodeSigningCert | Where-Object { $_.Subject -eq "CN=Full Name, OU=User, OU=MyDomainUsersOU, DC=example, DC=com" }) Write-Host "Signing using: $($Cert.Thumbprint) / $($Cert.Subject)" Get-ChildItem -Path "${DistDir}\" -Filter "*.ps1" -Recurse | ForEach-Object { $File = $_ $Signature = (Get-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath $File.FullName).Status If ($Signature -ne "Valid") { Set-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath $File.FullName -Certificate $Cert -HashAlgorithm SHA256 -TimestampServer "http://timestamp.globalsign.com/?signature=sha2" #Set-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath $File.FullName -Certificate $Cert -HashAlgorithm SHA256 | Out-Null } }
The code-signing certificate at the Windows Certificate Store:
My code snippet above asumes the computer-wide personal certificate store,
you may want to use the user certificate store of the build agent's execution context.
To import you code-signing certificate you may use certuil.exe (docs.microsoft.com).
After the certificate is imported you need to allow the tfs build agent service user (in my case "NETWORK SERVICE") to read that certificate from the Windows certificate store.

RDP Stops working after you re-join a windows computer to a domain
- During a windows rdp client connect you get the error message: "An internal error has occured."
- During a xfreerdp client connect you get something like this:
[12:03:22:170] [9681:9682] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.transport] - BIO_read returned a system error 104: Connection reset by peer [12:03:22:170] [9681:9682] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.nego] - Protocol Security Negotiation Failure [12:03:22:170] [9681:9682] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core] - freerdp_set_last_error ERRCONNECT_SECURITY_NEGO_CONNECT_FAILED [0x0002000C] [12:03:22:170] [9681:9682] [ERROR][com.freerdp.core.connection] - Error: protocol security negotiation or connection failure
- On the remote you find an error in the windows event log:

Here is what worked for me.
- Look for an existing valid computer account certificate and / or create a new valid certificate using a PKI, which is trusted by the domain controller/s.
- Set the thumbprint of that valid certificate to be used by the terminal server service
Get info about the current certificates installed:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert:/LocalMachine/My
And the current certificates dedicated for Terminal Services:
Get-ChildItem -Path "cert:/LocalMachine/Remote Desktop"
Set a new certificate to be used by the Terminal Server Service:
$TSpath = (Get-WmiObject -Class "Win32_TSGeneralSetting" -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -Filter "TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").__path
Set-WmiInstance -Path $TSpath -Argument @{SSLCertificateSHA1Hash="2B27D3B9C14AF0FBBADFACC271AFE0DDE21B7B74"}
Generate HPKP-Pin from a PEM file or any shell piped content.
alias get-hpkp-pin='openssl x509 -pubkey -noout | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der 2>/dev/null | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl enc -base64'
Usage example: cat cert.pem | get-hpkp-pin
Opsi Java package update from me (java_1.8.0.144-4.2.5) @opsi-wiki
That looks totally fine to me xD
Either start a new tmux session or re-attach to a existing one, without the need for manual checking.
alias tmuxa='tmux list-sessions 2>/dev/null 1>&2 && tmux a || tmux'
If you have a Windows domain controller and want to save on memory of the DNS server service, here are two things to consider:
Add autocomple and api documentation for Screeps to Visual Studio Code (vscode).
Install typings
npm install typings --global
Install screeps api declarations
npm install screeps-typescript-declarations --save
Add or update "typings.json" in your project directory with:
{ "globalDependencies": { "screeps": "github:screepers/Screeps-Typescript-Declarations/dist/screeps.d.ts#master" } }
And here is my ".eslintrc" for screeps: compilenix.org/cdn/screeps.eslintrc.json
In case you are not able to download the required iRacing Software from the Quick Start Guide because the download selection is broken...
Open up the Browser Dev-Tools (usually Control+I), navigate to the JavaScript console and execute following function call:
processInstallDownload("win", 0);
Install the, hopefully downloaded, Software.
Profit!
