Mostly just for me to remember stuff

I might use a command once, then not again for years. Hopefully I can jog my memory quickly here.

Python

I wanted a json utc datetime for a MQTT payload. Found the arrow module that is much like moment.js for javascript.

import arrow
print (arrow.get(arrow.utcnow()).for_json()

results in: "2015-08-27T15:03:07.427351+00:00" I'd like to trim it further and replace the +00:00 with Z. ??? and less precision on the seconds.

vim

comment a block

What's a quick way to comment/uncomment lines in Vim? (Stack overflow)

ctl v (at start of block)
down arrow (to end of block)
shift I, #
  or
: s/^/# <- more likely
esc

global search and replace

Redirect site root to wiki

This works to redirect to www.somedomain.tld from www.somedomain.tld/w - basically to point the root to your wiki as home / first page.

<VirtualHost *:80>
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
</VirtualHost>
