  • Using netcat and lz4c to copy files between servers

    Adds high-performance, lightweight lz4 compression to speed the transfer of files over a trusted network link. Using (insecure) netcat results in a much faster transfer than using a ssh tunnel because of the lack of overhead. Also, LZ4 is as fast or faster than LZ0, much faster than gzip or LZMA, an in a worst-case scenario, incompressible data gets increased by 0.4% in size. Using LZMA or gzip compressors makes more sense in cases where the network link is the bottleneck, whereas LZ4 makes more sense if CPU time is more of a bottleneck.

Mac OS X: Change Color of the ls Command
I use terminal with black background on the Mac. Unfortunately, the default ls color for the directory is blue, which is very hard to see. By including the line above in my ~/.bash_profile file, I changed the directory's color to cyan, which is easer to see. For more information on the syntax of the LSCOLORS shell variable: $ man ls I tested this command on Mac OS X Leopard
