Quarantine and working from home because of COVID-19 has provided an opportunity for me to take up Japanese again. I studied Japanese for years in high school and college, but I was unable to consume media intended for a Japanese audience. I hope that I can practice reading Kanji with posts like these.
This is the first post in which I try to translate snippets of technology articles written in Japanese. I hope that I can provide translations for longer snippets as my Japanese language skills improve. The following snippet is from Let’s Manipulate the Raspberry Pi GPIO Ports Using C# by Ken Takae:
C#と言えば、Windows環境だけと思われがちですが、.Net CoreをLinux環境にインストールすれば、C#で開発したアプリケーションが動作します。また、Raspberry Pi（ラズベリーパイ）でも、C#を使ってIoT開発を行うことができます。
My translation:
Although when speaking of C# one tends to think about only the Windows environment, if .Net Core is installed in the Linux environment, applications developed in C# operate [in the Linux environment]. Moreover, even with a Raspberry Pi, it is possible to use C# and carry out IoT development.
Notes:
～がち: a suffix to express an undesirable tendency in someone or something. Formed by Verb-masuがちだ or Nounがちだ.

After reviewing the ssh configuration file documentation, I determined it was possible to implement what I wanted without standalone scripts. I […]

I had been with GoDaddy for almost two decades. GoDaddy offered a Virtual Private Server (VPS) for $10 per month over two years. Now that my contract is up, they are offering a renewal at $20 per month. While my GoDaddy VPS failed to reboot after a typical update using yum, I set up an […]
