Enable and disable delivery to additional email addresses for sent and received messages with a Google Workspace account

Posted on by rchapin

I have a Google Workspace account for my domain and sometimes it is useful to have messages sent from or sent too other addresses in my domain also delivered to my address.

To set it up, login to your Google Admin console, then in the left-hand navigation click on Google Workspace, and then Gmail.

Look for Routing and click on it to enter the routing configurations.

You can then add, modify, delete, enable, or disable routing rules for → Continue reading “Enable and disable delivery to additional email addresses for sent and received messages with a Google Workspace account”

[SOLVED] debsig-verify for Failed verification error, “signatures using the SHA1 algorithm are rejected” and “Can’t check signature: Invalid digest algorithm”

Posted on by rchapin

If you are using debsig-verify for the verification of a downloaded .deb file and are unable to verify it, run it with the -d option to get more information. If you see the following two lines

gpg: Note: signatures using the SHA1 algorithm are rejected
gpg: Can't check signature: Invalid digest algorithm

It is likely that the PGP signature used to sign the package uses the SHA1 algorithm which has been deprecated in most of the recent Linux distros.

Query for Finding the nth Element in a PostgreSQL JSONB Array that Matches a Specified Value

Posted on by rchapin

The following is a sample query that you can use to search for rows that have the nth element in a JSONB array that match a specific value.

Given

CREATE TABLE sample_jsonb (
  id serial PRIMARY KEY,
  name varchar(64),
  json_data jsonb
);

INSERT INTO sample_jsonb(name, json_data)
VALUES
  ('foo',
  '{
  "key": "val1",
  "arr": ["homer", "bart", "barney"]
  }'),
  ('bar',
  '{
  "key": "val2",
  "arr": ["marge", "lisa", "maggie"]
  }'),
  ('baz',
  '{
  "key": "val2",
  "arr": ["bart", "milhouse", "nelson"]
  }')
;

LVM Resize – reduce the size of one logical volume to enable expanding another

Posted on by rchapin

I’m running an Ubuntu workstation and when setting it up simply went the “next-next-next” route when setting up the encrypted disk via LVM. The default is to create a 1G swap partition which is just not enough when you attempt to run too many things and locks up and/or crashes the machine.

My goal was to reduce my /root partition and then use that space to extend my swap partition.

Ensure that you back up your data first! There is → Continue reading “LVM Resize – reduce the size of one logical volume to enable expanding another”

Convert a Slice of Any Type to a CSV in Go

Posted on by rchapin

There are times, mostly for logging and debugging, when you have a slice of a given type that you would like to print to a log file or just convert to a CSV of values.

A quick and easy way to convert a slice to a CSV in Golang is to use the json module to Marshal it a JSON encoded array.

For example

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	ints := []int64{1, 2, 3,

Use printf to join an array in Bash

Posted on by rchapin

If you would like to join an array of elements with a defined delimiter in Bash there is an easy way to go about it by using printf. Following is an example

#!/bin/bash

declare -a arr=()

for i in `seq 1 5`
do
  arr=("${arr[@]}" $i)
done

# Generate a single string joined by a comma.  The printf string can contain
# any arbitrary delimiter.
printf -v joined '%s,' "${arr[@]}"

# Print out the string minus the trailing comma
echo
