What is A.Cavalin (acavalin.com)?

Updated

acavalin.com is the personal website of Alberto Cavalin, built around a Blog/Notes section. It is a place where he writes up practical how-tos and reference notes on technical topics — Linux, Raspberry Pi, terminal tools, and development — alongside recipes and a few health-related posts. If you are looking for a specific walkthrough (for example, converting images to an A4 PDF, setting up a DLNA media server, or configuring a RetroPie station), this site is a likely place to find one. It is not a commercial product or service site; there is no pricing or signup information on the page.

Who runs it and how to reach him

The site identifies its author as Alberto Cavalin and provides direct contact and profile links:

  • 💻 GitHub
  • 💼 LinkedIn
  • 📫 e-mail

These are the intended channels for following his work or getting in touch. The site itself does not present any other contact or account mechanism.

What kind of content is on the site

The homepage lists recent posts and a tag cloud, which together show the range of material:

Technical how-tos and references

  • ImageMagick | Convert images to A4 PDF
  • Free uncensored DNS
  • DNSmasq Authoritative config
  • RaspberryPi server
  • Setup RetroPie gaming station
  • Setup a DLNA media server

Health and body notes

  • top 10 Esercizi per stretching/allungamento schiena (top 10 back stretching exercises)
  • Esercizi per stretching/allungamento muscolo piriforme contro la sciatica (piriformis stretching exercises for sciatica)

Recipes

  • Un medico in famiglia
  • Colli di tacchino in umido

Note that some titles are in Italian while the site language is listed as English — the blog mixes both.

How the content is organized

Posts are grouped by tags rather than by a formal category tree. The visible tags include:

Group Tags
Technical HowTo, Tools, Linux, Reference, Terminal, Dev, Ruby, RaspberryPi, Debian, Rails, Images, Audio, Networking, Android, Security, SSH, Git, Crypt, DB
Food Ricette, Dolci, Torte, Salato, Cioccolato, Verdure, Cibo, Patate, Pesce, Creme, Formaggio, Ricotta, Contorni, Mandorle, Tonno, Zucchine, TorteSalate
Other Salute, Info, Fun

So if you want everything about, say, Raspberry Pi or Git, the tags are the fastest way in.

When this site is useful to you

  • You want a short, hands-on writeup of a Linux or Raspberry Pi task rather than official documentation.
  • You are looking for a recipe or an Italian-language cooking note.
  • You want to see what Alberto Cavalin is working on and follow him via GitHub or LinkedIn.

It is less suited if you need maintained, versioned documentation, official support, or a product with an account and pricing — none of that is present here.
