	# debianize
	# My notes of migrating a Ubuntu system to Debian, incrementally and (mostly) live.
	# The way this works is:
	# 1. Bootstrap a Debian install into /debian.
	# 2. Boot that as a container with systemd-nspawn.
	# 3. Set up kernel, bootloader and sshd inside the container.
	# 4. Boot into recovery, move all root-level folders under /ubuntu and move
	# everything under /debian to the root folder, then reboot.
	# (This should be the only downtime.)
	# 5. Run /ubuntu as a container, gradually move one service after another out

Cancels all subscriptions in Amazon Subscribe and Save

	// This script cancels all subscriptions in Amazon Subscribe and Save, which is fairly annoying to do manually one by one (it's def intentional)
	// Inspired by reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/1d3agri/mass_cancel_move_all_subscribe_save_items_in_bulk

	// Improved on getting subscriptionId, and fetching the urls (so it doesn't open a new tab on every unsub)

	// Ussage
	// 1. Visit this URL showing all subs: https://www.amazon.com/auto-deliveries/subscriptionList?listFilter=active
	// 2. Press the "Show more subscriptions" button until you can see every item you're subscribed to
	// 3. Open developer tool(cmd + opt + i) and paste the following into Javascript console. Then hit Enter
	// 4. Profit

Generating a properly secure SECRET_KEY in Django

	"""
	Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:

	1. It is not random but pseudo-random
	2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`

	This snippet
	1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
	2. saves a local `secret.txt`
