Export installed Chocolatey packages as packages.config - thanks to Matty666
#Put this in Export-Chocolatey.ps1 file and run it:
#.\Export-Chocolatey.ps1 > packages.config
#You can install the packages using
#choco install packages.config -y
Write-Output "<?xml version=`"1.0`" encoding=`"utf-8`"?>"

Install Parallels version 10/11/12/13 tools on Ubuntu server guest.

Install OSX Parallels version 10/11/12/13 tools on Ubuntu server guest

Have tested these instructions successfully under Ubuntu 16.04LTS and 14.04LTS.

  • Create Ubuntu server instance under Parallels (obviously).
  • Start VM, goto Actions - Install Parallels Tools... to mount the ISO image.
    • Note: if this fails, or updating tools for an existing guest you can do the following:
    • Goto Devices > CD/DVD 1 > Connect Image....
    • Select the following ISO image: /Applications/Parallels Desktop/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso.
    • This will mount the tools CD image.

Auto WiFi detection and hotspot creation in boot for RPI

Auto WiFi detection or wifi hostpot creation during boot for RPI

Note: These are rough notes and there may be some variance as versions of raspbian get updated but should be pretty reliable as a guide.

This gist provides some instructions and config in order to have your Raspberry PI automatically connect to a roamed network, however if it fails to discover an available network it will set itself up as a wireless access point for you to connect to.
