Recently, two of the servers I normally SSH into had to be locked down to where they can only be accessed from computers at the main office. Since I work remotely, this of course has been a bit of a pain. I’ve had to SSH into a work machine, and then SSH from there.
However, I’ve discovered there is a way to hop with SSH:
Now, I can simply type ssh remote and get to the remote machine. Very handy.

Add this to config/environment.rb above the Rails::Initializer block:
Rails::VendorGemSourceIndex.silence_spec_warnings = true
Bask in the silence - no more “gem has no specification file” etc.
Here’s the thing: I simply don’t have enough time/motivation to work on my own blogging application (slate). Now, I can hopefully focus on the most important piece - the content. Even if no one reads it.
