Raspbian - prepare SD card

April 2019 - Update !
I already did in the past an article about a SD card preparation for Raspberry Pi.
The idea behind this article is to find a way to simplify and speeding up to prepare an image for a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian and beside, things change constantly.
Here what we need to do now to prepare a Raspbian image (no NOOBS !!!)

Developer tips - Visual Studio - plist files

This article is based on tests/research/finding at April 2018. Things can change.

A project in Visual Studio that involve Apple iOS has some configurations saved in files ending with the .plist suffix.
These files are Property List files.

These files, combined with the project setting, contribute to set up the application configuration that need to match the content of the Provisioning profile.

However the files "per se" contains only few XML lines.

Ok ok, these are just some notes for me to remember some annoying things

Developer tips - Visual Studio - Apple iOS certificates

The certificates are so a very intimate and integral part of the development and preparation of an app for iOS.

Enable passwordless access to a machine

DEBRH or ... Don't Expect Big Revelations Here :)
Just a quick note that maybe can be useful to somebody.

Here the scenario.

We have two Linux machines in the network. A user from the machine A (call it Auser) need to  access some data on the machine B, under a specific user (call it Buser).
So, we can simply use ssh for that.

Raspberry Pi - broken micro SD card reader

One of the Raspberry Pi I have around has now a broken micro SD card reader.
The micro SD card is not retained anymore, thus the options are :

a) trash away the Raspberry and buy a new one
b) try to repair it

A personal CI system - building C program

Now we do have our CI system, how can we use it ?


If you have some code to compile with GCC, is possible to create a job in Jenkins to monitor it (on github) and every time the code is committed, have it updated on the server and compiled, notifying errors to the developer.
