Good Club - Senior Software Engineer (Elixir) | London | Remote GMT+/-2 | https://www.goodclub.co.uk

We’re a UK e-commerce grocery service focused on making sustainable food and household products accessible to all. We’re all about getting responsibly sourced, organically produced, low/zero waste groceries into as many households in the UK, without costing the earth.

We’re on the lookout for a brilliant remote Elixir/Ruby (or similar) engineer to join us in our mission to bring sustainable food to everyone. We believe in using technology for good; to positively change customer buying habits, reduce waste, develop new supply chains, and ultimately build the sustainable supermarket of the future. You’ll be motivated by solving valuable, real-world customer problems with technology to make a genuine environmental and societal difference.

I've also been using them for years, managing 20+ servers across nearly all of their datacenters and the service has been fantastic, their support is exceptional.

I understand that its usually the payment service provider that charges for refunds, but in this case if you've been a customer for a year I would expect them to absorb that cost.

You can support call queueing and call duration so that it doesn't go to the user voicemail. This is just a simple example to get you started.

Thanks, I don't understand the criticism either, the feedback via twitter has been quite positive so I will take both on board when writing any further posts.

To be fair, the example I have given is simple and you could use something like gitosis or gitolite (I have used them in the past). The point of the article was supposed to be a starting point if you have something else you want to do. For example, I needed to have a fully distributed git backend system across multiple git storage nodes so I needed to learn how I would go about doing that. This post was supposed to give the reader the tools they need to roll their own solution if they want.

I'm working on https://subsify.com/ to try and fill the gap in recurring payments for UK and EU businesses. At the moment we're only partnered with SagePay as a Payment Gateway so if that sounds good to you get in touch.

Sorry if you find the title misleading, it certainly wasn't intended that way. In fact, sometimes I find it harder to pick the right title than I do to write the blog post.

My intentions were that you could read the article in 5 minutes and the code sample would give you a good starting point to code your own implementation.

It seems that certain versions of OpenSSH do print out the command and parameters so I've updated the blog post to include a work-around

I don't see the secret in the output when I run that command. It just says:

debug1: Remote: Forced command.

SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND isn't in the ENV at all if no command was passed through

In the extended example it does actually use the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND, will update the simple version too

That is great thank you, I was looking for something along those lines

The method listed in the article does authenticate with the SSH key first and then the second factor kicks in only if the key (and passphrase) are valid.

Doesn't ForceCommand do exactly the same thing except it allows you to do it globally?

Cool examples - thanks.

Just tried it and it still prompts for the auth code

Interesting, would you mind letting me know which browser/version you're running? and the error message if possible?

The extended example 'should' work with those kinds of apps. The trivial example does not.

Cool, I wasn't aware of that option. Thanks!

A common theme seems to be that I'm not making the value proposition clear. Github actually charges $22/month for 20 repositories and 10 collaborators. Repodrop is $9/month for unlimited repos and unlimited collaborators. I will have to make this clearer.

You just need to sign up for 'Google Apps for Domains' here is the link to the free version (they try and make it difficult to find)

You'll have to follow the instructions to make changes to your DNS etc.

Thanks for the tip on rand() will update the code.

This uses another cookie because it is permanent. The standard rails session cookie ends at the end of the session so isn't acceptable here.

That could be one solution, however there are some problems that spring to mind like deploying to different architectures (common if you're using EC2) - I guess this fits your point about your CI env resembling prod.

I just tried the SCSS trick but the generated CSS was:

    background: lime url(asset_path "rails.png") no-repeat fixed center;

Thanks for the info, I'll update the post shortly. Out of interest, what was wrong with the FB comments? I only started using it yesterday because disqus doesn't have a HTTPS option (that I could find anyway).

I spent Friday afternoon and a bit of Saturday hacking this together and am wondering if anyone else finds it useful / has any ideas where to take it from here.

For those interested, it is using Heroku for hosting (obviously), Sinatra, MongoHQ, Google OpenID (via ruby omniauth gem), the ruby dropbox gem and Google Web Fonts.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to add it is only really styled for webkit

I should be able to make it

I tend to use a slicehost slice to do my own outbound mail (I use Google Apps for all inbound).

Assuming you have a slice first you'll need to set up your DNS entry pointing to the slice and a reverse DNS entry in the slicehost manager. See these resources for more information:

http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/9/2/mail-server-slice-set... http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/10/24/creating-a-reverse-....

Next set up an SPF record for your domain to legitimize your new mail server:

Finally you'll want to install the mail server software and configure it. I have a blog post that shows the standard config needed to configure the mail server and set up DKIM and DomainKeys to help your mail look legitimate:

Check out the links at the bottom of the article for more information about DKIM and DomainKeys.

Please don't send my password in plain text via email

You make a good point and I've thought about that a lot but competitive sites offer free accounts so it would be hard for me not to have a similar option.
