Clojure REPL and tricks

lein repl :start :port 10010

(use 'clojure.repl 'clojure.pprint)

(setq nrepl-popup-stacktraces-in-repl nil)
(setq nrepl-auto-select-error-buffer nil)

Zoom
You can use `C-x C-+’ and ‘C-x C--’ (‘text-scale-adjust’) to increase or decrease the buffer text size (`C-+’ or ‘C--’ to repeat).

Very important: add cider plugin in project.clj
(defproject lucy "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "FIXME: write description"
  :url "http://example.com/FIXME"
  :license {:name "Eclipse Public License"
            :url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"}
  :dependencies [
                 [org.clojure/clojure "1.6.0"]
                 [clucy "0.4.0"]
                 ]
  :plugins [[cider/cider-nrepl "0.6.0"]]
  )

In CIDER

C-c M-n: Set REPL namespace from buffer
C-x C-e: Eval preceding line
C-c C-k: compile buffer
C-x C-c: eval region
C-c C-c: abort eval
M-: Read a single Emacs Lisp expression in the minibuffer, evaluate it, and print the value in the echo area (eval-expression).
C-x h selects the entire buffer.
C-M-\ reindents the selected region.
C-M-@ select s-expression
M-. Jump to the definition of a symbol. If invoked with a prefix argument, or no symbol is found at point, prompt for a symbol.
M-@ (mark-word) puts the mark at the end of the next word
Use M-< to move to the beginning of the buffer, and M-> to move to the end
C-v to scroll down, and M-v to scroll up

M-d Kill up to the end of a word (kill-word).
M-\ Delete spaces and tabs around point (delete-horizontal-space)
M-<SPC> Delete spaces and tabs around point, leaving one space (just-one-space)
M-^ Join two lines by deleting the intervening newline, along with any indentation following it (delete-indentation)
C-t Transpose two characters (transpose-chars).
M-t Transpose two words (transpose-words).
C-M-t Transpose two balanced expressions (transpose-sexps).
C-x C-t Transpose two lines (transpose-lines).
M-x auto-revert-tail-mode (tail a file)

You can hide the *nrepl-connection* and *nrepl-server* buffers from appearing in some buffer switching commands like switch-to-buffer(C-x b) like this:
(setq nrepl-hide-special-buffers t)


M-% string <RET> newstring <RET>
Replace some occurrences of string with newstring.
C-M-% regexp <RET> newstring <RET>
Replace some matches for regexp with newstring.

<SPC>
to replace the occurrence with newstring.
<DEL>
to skip to the next occurrence without replacing this one.
, (Comma)
to replace this occurrence and display the result. You are then asked for another input character to say what to do next. Since the replacement has already been made, <DEL> and <SPC> are equivalent in this situation; both move to the next occurrence.You can type C-r at this point (see below) to alter the replaced text. You can also type C-x u to undo the replacement; this exits the query-replace, so if you want to do further replacement you must use C-x <ESC> <ESC> <RET> to restart (see Repetition).
<RET>
to exit without doing any more replacements.
. (Period)
to replace this occurrence and then exit without searching for more occurrences.
!
to replace all remaining occurrences without asking again.
Y (Upper-case)
to replace all remaining occurrences in all remaining buffers in multi-buffer replacements (like the Dired `Q' command which performs query replace on selected files). It answers this question and all subsequent questions in the series with "yes", without further user interaction.
N (Upper-case)
to skip to the next buffer in multi-buffer replacements without replacing remaining occurrences in the current buffer. It answers this question "no", gives up on the questions for the current buffer, and continues to the next buffer in the sequence.
^
to go back to the position of the previous occurrence (or what used to be an occurrence), in case you changed it by mistake or want to reexamine it.

JACK Audio/ALSA on Ubuntu


Most Linux distributions (except audio-oriented distros such as Ubuntu Studio) have active memory limits too restrictive to operate JACK.

First, try ulimit -l. If the output is not 'unlimited' you will need to make it so by changing some configurations.

1. Your login user must be part of the groups 'audio' and 'realtime'. Typically:

groupadd realtime
usermod -a -G audio <my user>
usermod -a -G realtime <my user>

2. Increase memory limits and I/O priority for the audio group. Edit /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf and make sure it contains:

@audio   -  rtprio     95
@audio   -  memlock    unlimited

3. Give the JACK daemon high priority:

dpkg-reconfigure -p high jackd

4. Enable PAM limits. Edit /etc/pam.d/common-session and add:

session required pam_limits.so

5. Log out and log back in to activate the changes

6. Start JACK. Make sure your output device is correctly referenced by hw:<n>.

jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:1 -r 44100

To list local devices:

aplay -l

Verify configuration in your software of choice, e.g. Ardour, LMMS, Audacity.

Using Docker behind a proxy

Proxies directly affect three independent aspects of Docker's operation: 
  1. Docker daemon: for interacting with public repositories (e.g. `docker pull`)
  2. Image building: building images via the Docker client almost always requires remote artifacts (e.g. package managers, build tools, curl)
  3. Container runtime: running containers requiring internet access

Each of these aspects requires particular measures to operate correctly behind a proxy. The following sections explain configuration procedures for each of them.

Docker daemon

Docker daemon requires network access for pulling and pushing images from/to public repositories. To operate behind a proxy, the daemon must receive proxy settings as described below (applies to CentOS and related distributions -- for others, see applicable documentation).

Despite some claims in StackOverflow and other sites, Docker does not accept proxy configs in `/etc/docker/daemon.json` (https://docs.docker.com/engine/admin/systemd/#httphttps-proxy). Proxy variables must be set in the systemd startup configs for the service.

To update the daemon's proxy configuration, edit/create `proxy.conf` with your proxy settings, reload the configuration and restart the daemon:

sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d # not present by default

cat <<EOF > /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/proxy.conf
[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://your.proxy:3128/" "HTTPS_PROXY=https://your.proxy:3128/" "NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,docker-registry.yourdomain.net"
EOF

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart docker

The changes above will allow the daemon to access public registries to perform pull operations to retrieve images.

Image building

Image builds specified in Dockerfiles virtually always contain access operations on public resources, be it through curl, yum, npm or similar tools. For these operations to work behind a proxy, the container's build context must provide correct proxy settings.

The simplest but least flexible option is to hardcode proxy settings in your Dockerfile:


ENV http_proxy http://<PROXY_HOST>:<PORT>
ENV https_proxy https://
<PROXY_HOST>:<PORT>

Notice both HTTP and HTTPS values are specified to ensure both protocols are configured. Replace <PROXY_HOST> and <PORT> with your network's proxy settings, e.g. `https://proxy.my-domain:3128`.

Many Linux applications will honor the `http(s?)_proxy` variable (e.g. curl, wget, many http client libraries for Python, Ruby and other scripted languages). There are, however, exceptions and irregularities in this area. See the documentation for the particular tool you intend to use. The CentOS package manager, yum, for example, requires explicit configuration via `/etc/yum.conf`. To allow yum to access packages during image building, include the following entries in your Dockerfile before the first invocation of yum:

RUN echo "http_proxy=http://proxy.my-domain:3128" >> /etc/yum.conf
RUN echo "https_proxy=https://proxy.my-domain:3128" >> /etc/yum.conf
# Make sure YUM proxy is set up first
RUN yum update -y && yum install curl

In the Spring Java framework, referencing autowired beans with session or request scope requires CGLIB proxies, e.g.:

@Scope(value = "request", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)

This in turn requires that unit and integration tests (e.g. JUnit or Spock) use
@WebAppConfiguration in their class declarations.

Fast port scanning with nmap


Use nmap to test for listening services on a range of ports

nmap -sS --reason -T4 -p32000-32100 10.10.10.10/32

Explanation of arguments

-sS: TCP SYN scan. Also known as half-open scan. It requires root privileges (see -sT if this is an issue). It is fast, enabling testing of large numbers of ports (assuming high network bandwidth and absence of rate-limiting firewalls). It is unobtrusive since it does not complete TCP connections: it sends a SYN packet and checks the response. It allows clear differentiation between listening (a SYN/ACK response), not listening (a RST/reset response) or filtered (no response after retries).

--reason: Shows details regarding why each port is reported in the given state

-T<0-5>: Timing template.  The respective, equivalent text flags are instructive: paranoid (0), sneaky (1), polite (2), normal (3), aggressive (4), insane (5). Higher is faster. The default is normal (3), but it is often too slow in practice for large port ranges. Higher values must be used cautiously, as they can either stress or crash target systems or easily trigger intrusion detection systems. I have found T4 to be practical for routine systems diagnostics work. T4 is the equivalent of --max-rtt-timeout 1250ms --min-rtt-timeout 100ms --initial-rtt-timeout 500ms --max-retries 6. When scanning many ports on a reliable network, I override maximum retries to accelerate the scan with --max-retries=0.

-p: Port range

Hosts: Target hosts, represented as IP addresses, with a given host mask. In the example, 10.10.10.10/32, a single host is requested. A mask shorter than 32 bits designates ranges, e.g. 10.10.10.0/24, includes 10.10.10.0 through 10.10.10.255
