Copying Large Images (>8GB) to SD Card

This updated guide uses the pi-shrink script from GitHub instead of qemu-img for shrinking the .img. Pi-shrink intelligently compacts Raspberry Pi OS images by zeroing free space and resizing partitions/filesystems. Warning: These operations erase all data on the SD card (/dev/mmcblk0). Verify the device with lsblk first.

Prerequisites

• Backup SD card data.
• Download pi-shrink: git clone https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink.git or grab pi-shrink.sh.
• Make executable: chmod +x PiShrink/pi-shrink.sh.
• Have .img file ready.

Retrieve Remmina Passwords

By some reason, all my remmina client configurations have a "password" attribute equal to "." (a single dot). Searching and reading I found someone suggesting secret-tool search. I tried but only returned one password. But realized that the secret-tool has an "--all" option. Then tried this and got all remmina clients information including their passwords:

secret-tool search --all key password
