WILT: How to reset your forgotten password on IRC

IRC is the platform OpenStack members use to coordinate and have weekly syncups. I recently upgraded my system and in the process lost the saved password for my account. The process to reset was a little difficult to figure out but turns out to be fairly simple. All you need to do is to execute the following command: /msg NickServ SENDPASS your-account-name

Solved: Fix for Git clone failure due to GnuTLS recv error (-9)

My devstack installation was failing with an error reported by the GnuTLS module as shown below: $ git clone https://github.com/openstack/horizon.git /opt/stack/horizon --branch master Cloning into '/opt/stack/horizon'... remote: Counting objects: 154213, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (11/11), done. error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-9): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed The following Git config changes fixed the issue for me. Am hoping it will be useful for someone out there: $ git config http.sslVerify false $ git config --global http.postBuffer 1048576000
