"There's gotta be another way to say […], right?"

How I use multiple GPG keys to sign all my commits (personal and work) and increased the credential-timeout so I only need the passphrases after a reboot.

Signing commits with a specific GPG key

We started signing commits at work and as soon as I started generating the first key (GitHub guide), I realized I would be taking extra steps. I don't use my default GitHub email for work commits, I use my work email address. The instructions for setting up commit-signing describe how to make signing automatic, but I wouldn't want to sign my non-work commits with my work key… 

So.

Using @sabbour's Quick and easy way to setup signed GitHub commits on MacOS as a starting point, these are the modifications I made so that I could assign a specific GPG key just to my work repos on my machine[1].

  1. When generating a new GPG key, I generated 2: 1 for my default GitHub email address; 1 for my work email address

I change the wallpaper on my laptop, external display, and mobile devices fairly frequently. I've got links for wallpaper sites stashed all over the place instead of one location. Let's see if this sticks.

Afropunk listening notes! 🎶

Afropunk

10-July Last week, I learned about the AFROPUNK FEST. While looking at the live acts page, I started counting and realized I've only ever heard of 5 of the 41 performers. 😕

In nerd-fashion, I set up a very long ToDo in Habitica with each act as a checklist item and the goal is to listen to 1-5 songs (minimum) by each act (even those I've heard of) by the time the festival starts (it's a convenient time-frame, I'm not actually going to the festival).

Legend:

  • 🤙🏽 Artists I'm familiar with
  • 🔎 Artists who're new to me!

Stuff that tends to be muscle memory while I'm at a job/on a project, but then I forget when contexts switch.

interrogating tests

Rails environment, using rspec: spit out objects and things to the console with puts

it 'checking a thing' do
puts activity # where activity is the name of an object
puts activity.class
