The library stores the state property passed to it in the options for passport.authenticate. The state is available for the return handler in the req.authInfo.state property.

E.g. for:

http://localhost:3000/login/google?state=/foo

with

router.get('/login/google', (req, res, next) => {

NOTICE! Aliexpress changed their web site and thus these steps no longer work

When using a desktop browser and adding items to wish list on Aliexpress, those products get added to the default wish list. After a while your default wish list will get full and you cannot add items into any wish list as the wish list button only adds items to the default wish list, from where those can be moved to other wish lists. There is no simple way to see the contents of the default wish list, so cleaning it up is difficult. I got frustrated enough with this and created a solution that at least makes the job easier:

To get the titles of the items that are in your default wish list:

NOTE: Use these steps for APFS backups. If you have an HFS backup, use: https://gist.github.com/gadgetmies/3e1336d6d8733ecc199a5123671efd33

I got frustrated with the "Disk Not Ejected Properly" warnings I often got when disconnecting my laptop from the USB dock because I had not unmounted the Time Machine backup disk first. Decided it's probably best to do something about the issue before the disk gets damaged.

The solution is rather simple and has three parts:

• Store the disk encryption password in your keychain and always allow it's use for mounting the disk
• Prevent automatic mounting of the backup disk to prevent it being mounted when disconnecting the laptop from the dock
• Create an application that mounts the disk, runs the Time Machine backups and unmounts the disk when done

The application can be launched manually (e.g. from the MacOS dock) or be scheduled to run every now and then.
