What Are You Doing Right Now

Just building a system to customize Raspbian images via a Mint VM and QEMU (qemu-user-static).
Idea behind:
- extend default image
a) (dd if=/dev/null bs=1024 >> raspbian.img)
b) /dev/loopN the raspbian image (losetup)
c) parted resizepart 2 100%
d) resize2fs -p /dev/loopNp2 (<- still required or already done by parted resizepart? need to check that) - chroot
a) prepare chroot (qemu-user-static, mounts, bind-mounts etc)
b) chroot
c) Install software, apply customization
d) exit
e) unmount - flash image to SD card
Benefits:
- No need to flash the image, run it on a Pi, customize it, create a new image etc
- Way faster because I can do this on my workstation with fast SSDs etc
- No need to touch Raspbians first-run jobs like extending the second partition to the SD cards size
Headache reading:
- extend default image

Kids are just waking up here. Thinking about going out to lunch in a bit.

Taking the family out to lunch. Probably just to the local diner.

loving the smell of incinerated electronics - cough cough
DROK DC to DC board that should have handled 3-23v input just fried D1. Guess that project is on the back burner.
Maybe I'll get n00bs installed on an mSD and see how that goes...

Coffee will sometimes give me a headache... don't like the smell of it... brewed or unbrewed..
odd,.. since I have had two cups of coffee a day for the last six months...

I would prefer to sing these vs. sign them.

Currently,.. Installing Raspian on the rPi3. Not sure which of the 99(dozen) project will get this first one. May just stay at the desk. Since starting with NTG I wanted to run one as a NOC display.. tie it in to the Zabbix server maybe.

Though - I suppose I could get away with using x2go for now.

Yeah, gui works fine through x2go headless.. Yes, I like headless computers and probably could use counseling
