Programmatically send push notifications to telegram from python
  1. Create a new Telegram bot:
    1. start a chat with BotFather;
    2. type /newbot, select a name (to be shown in chats) and handle for your bot;
    3. note the bot token to access HTTP API - a long string with a colon in the middle (later referred to as <token>);
    4. optionally /setdescription and /setuserpic.
  2. Add the bot to the chat/channel and note its id:
    1. add the bot to a new or existing chat or group - this is where your bot will send notifications to;
    2. go to https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates (replace <token> with your token);
    3. within the chat part, find and note the id field - a positive or negative number (later referred to as <chat_id>).
  3. Programmatically send notifications:

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
