How to set up the #RaspberryPi Zero for #travel
source: https://opensource.com/article/20/3/raspberry-pi-zero
So, here's what you can get with a #Pi Zero portable computer:
- It's small enough to fit in hand baggage or your #pocket.
- It's cheap enough at $8 to buy another if yours gets lost/stolen/damaged.
- The entire OS and data are held on a "disk" that is as small as a fingernail, is cheap, and is easily bought in a wide variety of retail outlets. If need be, you can create a new one from a borrowed card from a phone.
- A full development environment with the ability to work offline or online. It can also act as an #SSH server so that more than one person can use it at once.
- Safe storage: If you are paranoid or traveling on certain airlines, you can remove the "disk" and store it in your wallet or on your person. If your computer is stolen in transit, go and buy another one off the shelf: you're already set up with the #OS.
- Network-tolerant: Around the world, there are country-specific #WiFi frequencies, and a simple text-file change enables you to be compliant within minutes.
- Keyboard independent: You can use a compliant #Bluetooth keyboard, but when you need to do something more demanding, you can just plug any USB #keyboard into the spare #USB connector using an On-The-Go cable.
- Power supply tolerant: My 3300mAh power bank can run the Pi Zero for about eight hours, but if all else fails, you can use a TV's USB connector to power it. Generally speaking, if a TV has #HDMI, it will also have a USB socket, and the Zero only draws about 120mA. Or use someone's phone charger!
- Finally, if you're unfortunate enough to lose/damage your "disk," you can easily create another by downloading your 2GB #image from a secure location in the cloud and burning it to a new card. Try doing that with a normal #laptop.

Pocket issues: Tagging, recents vs. alpha sort, 7.56.0.0 Android
I’m using the GetPocket Android app on an Android 10 e-ink device, the Onyx BOOX Max Lumi.
Pocket version is 7.56.0.0
As of a few updates ago, behaviour and functionality of article tagging has changed with regards to how many alpha-sorted vs. recently-used tags are presented, both when tagging is initiated and during incremental search as a specific tag name is spelled out.
I’m not sure precisely when this happened as there does not seem to be a readily-evident public release history of the GetPocket Android application, which is disappointing.
(Per Wesley / Dread Pirate Roberts, I’ve gotten used to disappointment.)
… oh, wait, APK mirror does show this — 7.550.0 was released 2 Feb 2022, 7.54.0.0 on 16 Jan 2022. I believe the change hit with 7.54.0.0. Changelogs for both indicate “minor fixes and improvements”. This is a poor release notice practice, for what it’s worth.
Up until a month or two ago, when initiating or entering tags, a large portion of the listed tags were recently-entered. As I’m often tagging a set of articles based on a similar topic or set of topics, this was useful and greatly speeded up tagging. As of the recent change, 2–3 app updates back, I’m seeing only 3 recent suggestions.
And as I spell out tags, I’m finding that the suggestions are similarly alpha-sorted rather than recent-sorted. As one of the tagging conventions I’ve adopted has been to enter a filed-on date “filed: 2022-03-21” for example), this means re-typing that entry each time I’m filing an article on a given date.
PLEASE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RECENTLY-USED TAGS AND LIST INCREMENTAL-SEARCH TAGS ON THE BASIS OF RECENT OR PREFERABLY: FREQUENT USE.
The ergonomics of this subtle change are dramatic and bad.
Thank you.

- #Xling - A #pocket #demon named #Exy. Luci? Haven't heard about him.
This is a pocket demon I've created for my wife. I used to think that this is how a modern Tamagotchi could look like initially. However, it can also be used as a battery-powered DIY platform to experiment with FreeRTOS and graphics.
