Emulating a Raspberry Pi with QEMU

Goal: Emulate a Raspberry Pi with QEMU in order to run the Raspbian O/S (based on Debian Linux).

The current setup is not ideal. For one thing, the maximum RAM allowed using the "versatile-pb" firmware is 256 Mb. In addition, only the most basic peripherals, a keyboard and mouse, are supported.

A number of articles have been written on this topic. Most are outdated, and the few recent ones are missing key information.

Using GitHub Pages with a custom domain: Namecheap Edition

As often happens, I found the official documentation and forum answers to be "close, but no cigar", and so had to experiment a little to get things working.

The main problem for me was a lack of concrete configuration examples. That's not entirely GitHub's fault: having migrated from Google Domains to Namecheap in the middle of this project, I was once again reminded of how many different ways there are to do things in the name service universe [1].

Although you'd think the simplest setup would be to merely configure for the subdomain case (https://www.example.com), in my experience using the apex domain (https://example.com) instead resulted in fewer complications.

Procedure

So here's my recipe for using a custom domain with GitHub pages where Namecheap is the DNS provider:

using namespace System.Management.Automation
using namespace System.Management.Automation.Language
 
if ($host.Name -eq 'ConsoleHost') {
    Import-Module PSReadLine
}

Import-Module -Name Terminal-Icons

echo "[#                   ] 5%"
user=$(whoami)
clear
