An acquaintance needed a video kiosk that plays looping videos for an exposition booth. Since I have a bunch of Raspberry Pis lying around, I figured that it would be the perfect use case for using one of them.

Let's assume we start from scratch, with a unflashed, brand new SD card and your Raspberry Pi.

Installing the OS

Install a version of Raspbian that includes the desktop. You can head over to : https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ and follow the instructions.

Once the image is downloaded, you can burn it to your SD card with tools like Etcher (https://www.balena.io/etcher/)

Disabling GNOME Tracker and Other Info

GNOME's tracker is a CPU and privacy hog. There's a pretty good case as to why it's neither useful nor necessary here: http://lduros.net/posts/tracker-sucks-thanks-tracker/

After discovering it chowing 2 cores, I decided to go about disabling it.

    doilinks
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Extension to add links to DOIs. With this extension you can use e.g.
    :doi:`10.1016/S0022-2836(05)80360-2` in your documents. This will
    create a link to a DOI resolver
    (``https://doi.org/10.1016/S0022-2836(05)80360-2``).
    The link caption will be the raw DOI.
    You can also give an explicit caption, e.g.

# Converts a mysqldump file into a Sqlite 3 compatible file. It also extracts the MySQL `KEY xxxxx` from the
# CREATE block and create them in separate commands _after_ all the INSERTs.

# Awk is choosen because it's fast and portable. You can use gawk, original awk or even the lightning fast mawk.
# The mysqldump file is traversed only once.

# Usage: $ ./mysql2sqlite mysqldump-opts db-name | sqlite3 database.sqlite
# Example: $ ./mysql2sqlite --no-data -u root -pMySecretPassWord myDbase | sqlite3 database.sqlite
