• Homemade Liqueurs

  Ginger Liqueur

  Tastes like Domaine de Canton. Delicious. Used in the tiki cocktail Yule Log Grog.

  Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces ginger root (I used dried, fresh will work too)
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 1/2 cups rum (I used Mount Gay Eclipse)

  Boil the ginger, vanilla, sugar, and water for 10 minutes, then let cool and put into a jar to sit for 2-3 days. Double strain and bottle!

  Original source: Serious Eats. I’ve modified the recipe.

  

  Allspice Dram

  Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup allspice berries
  • 2 1/2 cups navy-strength rum
  • 1 cup brown sugar 
  • 1/2 vanilla bean
  • 1 cinnamon stick

  Toast and crush allspice berries, then soak in rum for two weeks. Mix with simple syrup (1:1) made with brown sugar, vanilla bean, and cinnamon.

  Original source: Alton Brown. I’ve modified the recipe.

  Falernum

  

  Paul Clarke’s Falernum number 10: https://thelosttikilounge.com/ingredients/falernum-guide/

  • 6 oz Overproof White Rum – Wray & Nephew recommended
  • 9 Limes, zested – preferably organic
  • 40 Cloves, toasted – buy a new pack – don’t use the ones from last Christmas!
  • 2 tbsp Blanched Slivered Almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
  • 2 oz Fresh Ginger, peeled and sliced or julienned
  • 14 oz Rich Simple Syrup – 2:1 ratio, cold preparation

  Method

  • Zest the limes with a microplane grater, zester or vegetable peeler, making sure to leave all the white pith behind. And watch those knuckles! Adding human flesh really won’t enhance the flavour.
  • Toast the cloves in a dry pan over a medium heat, shaking frequently, just until they begin to become aromatic, then remove from the heat.
  • Toast the almonds, shaking frequently, until they begin to turn light brown, then remove from the heat.
  • Peel the ginger and either slice it into thin batons or julienne it.
  • Add the lime zest, cloves, almonds, ginger and the rum in a pint-sized jar and allow to macerate for 24 hours. Every now and then, take a moment to review your creation. It looks green, strange, almost luminous. Give it a shake. Awesome.
  • Strain the infusion into your final container through a muslin or a moistened cheesecloth. Make sure to give it a good squeeze at the end to get every last drop of potent liquid out. If it’s still a bit ‘gritty’, run it through a second time, or if really stubborn try something like a coffee filter to help refine it.
  • To make the rich simple syrup, add 2 cups of sugar (preferably super-fine) and 1 cup of cold (or slightly tepid) water to a large jar. Seal the lid and shake until the sugar is completely dissolved. If you’re struggling to get it to liquefy, add it to a pan and put it on a very low heat, stirring every few minutes until the liquid is clear.
  • Measure 14 ounces of your syrup and pour into your final container along with the rum infusion and the almond extract, give it a shake to combine, and you’re done!

  Cinnamon Syrup

  • Use Cassia, which holds up better in syrup than ceylon or sri lankan.
  • 15g Cassia
  • 250g water
  • 250g cane sugar

  Simmer 15 mins, let sit for a couple hours, strain and store in fridge.

  • When using a $variable, you have to use “, not ‘ !
  • Variable assignment from the results of another command: name=$(command)
  • Array assignment from the results of another command: `array_name=($(command))

  Tools

  curl

  • -o for saving to a file

  jq

  jq – command line JSON processor

  • use -r to remove quotes around the data. raw.
  • Use | @sh for transforming arrays into space separated strings
  • Convert JSON to CSV

  # Select all children of the data object and extract the value of the id keys
  | jq '.data[].id'
  
  # Select the first element of the data object and return the value of the filesystemBackupId key, raw/no quotes
  | jq -r '.data[0].filesystemBackupId'
  
  # Convert a JSON file to CSV
  (echo 'username,profile_url,employer'; jq -r '.[] | [.username, .profile_url, .employer] | @csv' employers_5_1.json) > employers_5_1.csvCode language: PHP (php)

  tr

  Transformations! Replacements, changing case, https://linuxhint.com/bash_tr_command/

  Use | tr '\n' ' ') to replace new lines with spaces.

  awk

  Awk is a command line text-processing tool.

  Use awk to replace a text with an empty string:

  curl -s $url | pup -p 'li#user-company text{}' | awk '{sub(/Employer:/,"")} 1'Code language: PHP (php)

  pup

  pup is a command line tool for processing HTML, inspired by jq.

  https://github.com/ericchiang/pup

  Get the Employer section from a WordPress.org profile:

  <code>curl -s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/cagrimmett/" target="_blank">https://profiles.wordpress.org/cagrimmett/</a> | pup -p 'li#user-company text{}'</code>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

  Clean that up to remove the “Employer:”, new lines, and tabs with awk and tr:

  curl -s $url | pup -p 'li#user-company text{}' | awk '{sub(/Employer:/,"")} 1' | tr -d '\n' | tr -d '\t'Code language: PHP (php)

  Use in a script:

  // Assumes an input file named 5-1.txt with a list of profile URLs
  // dependent on pup
  for url in $(head -n800 5-1.txt); do
      employer="$(curl -s $url | pup -p 'li#user-company text{}' | awk '{sub(/Employer:/,"")} 1' | tr -d '\n' | tr -d '\t')"
      contributions="$(curl -s $url | pup -p 'div.item-meta-contribution text{}' | tr -d '\n' | tr -d '\t')"
      echo "$url | $employer | $contributions" >> 5-1_contributors.txt

  nohup

  nohup (No Hang Up) is a command in Linux systems that runs the process even after logging out from the shell/terminal. 

  nohup command [command-argument ...]Code language: CSS (css)

  wget

  wget can download recursively!

  wget -r -1 0 https://site.com/….

  Set the maximum number of subdirectories that Wget will recurse into to depth. In order to prevent one from accidentally downloading very large websites when using recursion this is limited to a depth of 5 by default, i.e., it will traverse at most 5 directories deep starting from the provided URL. Set ‘-l 0’ or ‘-l inf’ for infinite recursion depth.

  history with timestamp

  using zsh: history -f

  concat commands with &&

  cd ~/Projects/team51-metrics && java -jar metabase.jar

  Write out a file to standard output

  Helpful for short files.

  cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

  Copy contents to your clipboard

  pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

  SSH

  Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent

  1. open ~/.ssh/config
     1. If it doesn’t exist, create it: touch ~/.ssh/config
  2. Move the new keys to your ~/.ssh folder
  3. Edit the ~/.ssh/config file:

  Host *
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    UseKeychain yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/YOUR SSH PRIVATE KEY FILECode language: JavaScript (javascript)

  4. ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/YOUR KEY

  The above snippet works for all hosts globally. If you need to specify, you can do something like:

  Host ssh.atomicsites.net
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    UseKeychain yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsaCode language: JavaScript (javascript)

  Removing keys from the ssh-agent

  ssh-add -D

  Proxying SSH

  Two ways: In the command line or in a config file

  Command line: use the -o option with ProxyCommand

  ssh -o ProxyCommand="nc -x 127.0.0.1:8080 %h %p" -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa [username]@[serveraddress.net]Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

  Config file: Add ProxyCommand under the host:

  Host ssh.atomicsites.net client-ssh.atomicsites.net
  	ProxyCommand nc -x 127.0.0.1:8080 %h %p
  	AddKeysToAgent yes
  	UseKeychain yes
  	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsaCode language: JavaScript (javascript)

• Readlists

  These are created using Jim Neilson’s reboot of the original Readlists tool from Readability: https://readlists.jim-nielsen.com/

  Kindles do not support epub, so you must take the epub you get from Readlists and convert it to mobi with Calibre.

  For a future project of extending the Readlists tool, this npm package could be helpful: https://github.com/moszeed/kindle-periodical

  You can open the mobi URL in the experimental browser on your Kindle to download it. You can upload the json file that you can import into Readlists to make changes and additions.
