I play Overwatch like crazy and I use sites like overbuff and masteroverwatch.I like their battle.net login buttons and wanted to create a simple site to beat matchmaking system. I didn’t realize that this will be a huge struggle.Here are the official docs:https://dev.battle.net/docs/read/oauthGet this Chrome Extension to try get post requests, amazing extension including authentication features:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/postman/fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop?hl=enSign up first Go to the https://dev.battle.net and create a mashery account.

I’ve just done it and I don’t want to forget this struggle. Buy a super fast 32 gb sd card - keep your adapter because most of the new computers only have sd card slots not micro sd slots. Format sd card as FAT - MSDOS with Disk utility -> Erase on Mac Right click -> Format on Windows Disks on Ubuntu Download NOOBS - easy UI to select which OS should be installed into your pi. Don’t bother flashing yourself with raspbian etc. Extract NOOBS zip and copy all of the files (if it’s extracted into a folder just copy its content, root of the sd card must have a couple of files, not one directory) Put your recently formatted and NOOBs copied sd card into the pi and then wait a little bit Plug your raspberry pi into micro usb Plug your monitor via an HDMI cable Plug your mouse and keyboard (mechanical keyboards take some time though to be recognized, just wait a little bit more) NOOBS UI will show up, for raspberry pi 3 you can connect to wifi. You ca...

Leaving this here since I should not spend another hour to figure this out in my next fresh ubuntu install.Install ssh server first:sudo apt-get install openssh-server And open the port:sudo ufw allow 22Find your IP addressifconfig

I have a small Turkish meme site. It’s very simple and easy to maintain.I use cloudflare for caching, SSL and DNS stuff and I love it.However, today I realized that my site started to redirect to some weird site which says some random “Your flash is outdated, please update”. Check chrome network tab - can not see anything because it’s a redirect and all info is gone. Check domain provider - all good Check Cloudflare DNS settings - all goodLast resort I tried to find out the HTTP request call tree.I’m breaking the redirection URL because I don’t want to send them traffic.curl --head guldum.netHTTP/1.1 301 Moved PermanentlyDate: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 17:24:22 GMTConnection: keep-aliveSet-Cookie: __cfduid=d0af6e03ce78a3a99580dc2bbc87c90c31484846662; expires=Fri, 19-Jan-18 17:24:22 GMT; path=/; domain=.guldum.net; HttpOnlyLocation: https://goo.gl/ H41yAyServer: cloudflare-nginxCF-RAY: 323bfadaa6ec3470-LHRIt has a 301 redirection, it immediately popped up in my mind: Page rules.

‘Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System).’ HN discussion They say it’s an OS for augmented reality with predictable latency times like a RTOS. Let’s see. https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/magenta/+show/master/docs/mg_and_lk.md https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror/escher https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/ What we learned from running Fuchsia, the mysterious new OS from Google This week I was sooo annoyed with Pocket so I decided to start a new project.

Poor man’s scraper…Yes it works like a charm even on the unvalidated html. That’s my biggest problem with python libraries like lxml etc, they don’t really work well with the unvalidated html/xml trees. However BeautifulSoup does everything it can.Here are some handy commands I use every day: Install: sudo easy_install beautifulsoup4from bs4 import BeautifulSoupsoup = BeautifulSoup(html_doc, 'html.parser')# Prettify your html. Works amazingly well.print soup.prettify()# Find one element in the html by tag name.soup.find('a')# Find all elements in the html by tag name.soup.find_all('a')# Find one element in the html by having a class name (multiple classes will be found as well):soup.find('a', {'class': 'some-css-class'})# Find one element in the html by having a class name (multiple classes will be found as well):for s in soup.find_all('a', {'class': 'some-css-class'}): print s # Get element's text within the tags:soup.find('a', {'class': 'some-css-class'}).get_text()# Get ele...

Oneplus 3 is awesome, the best phone I’ve ever used so far. And it’s amazingly fast after Nexus 6p. Full review will come.

By the way, TIL: postgres is the successor of Ingress which is the core developer’s first rdbms. So it’s name is coming from post-ingress.

There was a coup attempt in Turkey so I skipped writing new posts. Here I go again. Openshift is incredibly easy to set up ghost and wordpress for free. Free tier’s response times are amazing, you can even uploada images. I really like ghost, I’d definitely go back if I didn’t move my blog to gh-pages. You can even set up phpMyAdmin for free without spending any of your gears. I mean literally free! Namecheap has added catch-all filter for incoming emails. So no need to use mailgun filters any more. Started to play Overwatch, no more side projects :/ Successfully migrated one of my apps from Parse.com to my self-hosted parse server in heroku free tier which is backed by MongoLab (mLab). So it’s still free but of course not as performant as before. MLab puts some latency and heroku free tier apps sleep 6 hours per day. Let’s how it will go. However, this was a tricky process. May write something about it later. Become level 20 at pokemon Found this very...
