wi24rd / What is a Unix Wizard?
Created December 31, 2017 14:25
[I ran across these on a Unix salesman's wall and haven't seen them posted
before. I modified them here and there. Followups are in net.jokes.]
People who come into contact with the Unix system are often told,
"If you have trouble, see so-and-so, he's a guru", or "Bob there is
a real Unix hacker."
What is a "Unix Wizard"? How does s/he differ from a "guru"?
To explore these and other questions, here is a draft of the "Unix Hierarchy":

Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.6.5 to 10.0 using Homebrew (macOS)
After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."
Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:
# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
brew unlink postgresql
brew install postgresql@9.6
brew unlink postgresql@9.6
brew link postgresql

Get the subnet and VPC id of a running EC2 instance

First get the Interface mac address, then use that to run the full command

INTERFACE=$(curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/)
SUBNET_ID=$(curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/${INTERFACE}/subnet-id)
VPC_ID=$(curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/network/interfaces/macs/${INTERFACE}/vpc-id)

echo SUBNET_ID
