Speaker Rider

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

Safest way to clean up boot partition - Ubuntu 14.04LTS-x64, Ubuntu 16.04LTS-x64

Reference

Case I: if /boot is not 100% full and apt is working

1. Check the current kernel version

$ uname -r

Using database with hyphen

db = db.getSiblingDB("dbname-w-hyphen")
db.dropUser("admin")

Get user

use db

Show images

docker image ls

Remove image

docker image rm <id>

Show all containers

docker ps -a

Build image from Dockerfile within application directory

Step One—Create the RSA Key Pair

The first step is to create the key pair on the client machine (there is a good chance that this will just be your computer):

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Step Two—Store the Keys and Passphrase

Follow prompts

How do I get the data type of each field from a table?

SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS 
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Table-Name'

	#!/bin/bash

	# Create a (draft) pull request using GitHub CLI.
	# It assigns the PR to the current user, fills in the title from the first commit,
	# and uses the PR template file for the description.

	set -euo pipefail

	# Colors for output
	RED='\033[0;31m'

	Host server1
	HostName server1.cyberciti.biz
	User nixcraft
	Port 4242
	IdentityFile /nfs/shared/users/nixcraft/keys/server1/id_rsa

	ALTER TABLE myTable
	add createdAt datetime
	CONSTRAINT DF_myTable_createdat DEFAULT GETDATE()

	ALTER TABLE myTable
	add updatedAt datetime
	CONSTRAINT DF_myTable_updatedAt DEFAULT GETDATE()

	go

	PgUp::Send {Media_Play_Pause}
	ScrollLock::Send {Volume_Mute}
