This guide will demonstrate how to mirror an SVN into a Git repo. You're the target audience if you're an SVN user, just getting started with Git and need to coax your project team over to Git.

The branching scenario has been simplified for clarity.

Using a raspberry pi to display Google Calendars

This explains the set up of our very basic status screen to displays Google calendars here at booncon.

Install the raspberry pi

Download and put the most current https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ image to an SD Card. On OSX that works great with http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/raspberry-pi/macosx-apple-pi-baker/, just use the restore option and select the unzipped image file.

Set up the operation system basics

After the first boot, the raspi-config utility should load up.

How to passthrough SATA drives directly on VMWare EXSI 6.5 as RDMs

There aren't many tutorials about this, the only tutorials I've found were about passing through entire PCIe cards to VMs, or refered to old ESXI versions (below 6.5) that used a more comprehensive desktop client instead of the web app. In v6.5, the web app was introduced and the desktop client was deprecated. This tutorial shows you how to pass SATA HDDs to the virtual machine on VMWare ESXI 6.5. This tutorial is partially based on VMWare's own KB and the now deprecated Forza IT blog post.

Summary

We attach the SATA HDDs as an RDM (Raw Device Mapper) into an existing virtual disk on command line, then on the web app, we attach a new SCSI controller to the VM, and attach the newly created RDM as an "existing HDD" to the newly created SCSI controlle
