# Script Development

I have developed scripts(Python/Bash) for some of these distributions for automation, which I may share some of the scripts and its use cases in this site. In the screen shot above, there are mini scripts used to display items, for example, the status bar has scripts to display time, volume or music. The lyrics viewer is also another script I developed as I couldn't find any programs online that fits my use case.

### Bash Scripting
Some of the bash scripts I've developed can be found in my dotfiles [here](https://gitlab.com/devoalda/dotdrop-dotfiles/-/tree/master/dotfiles/local/bin). They are some installation scripts, scripts I use daily and scripts I found on the Internet that was useful to my use cases.

# Virtualization/Virtual Machine Managers

Deploying Virtual Machines are an essential part to computer science, as it allows us to test and deploy applications in a "containerized" environment. 
Many of the Virtual Machines I've used/deployed are used for penetration testing, Malware Analysis or just for fun! Virtual Machines allow us to use certain programs from another OS without destroying our base OS. Here are some of the virtualization technologies I have used in the past:

* Vmware player/workstation
* EXSI
* VirtualBox 
* Proxmox
* FreeNAS(bhyve)

# Hardware 
Here are some of the computer hardware which I have played with in the past:

* Raspberry Pi 3b+ & 4b
* My current desktop (Dell Optiplex 7010)
