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.

How to set up the Raspberry Pi Zero for travel

For some time now, I've been a huge fan of the Raspberry Pi computer in all of its various forms.

My work #MailServer requires #2FA for fetching and sending #Email and so I can still use #Thunderbird on my #laptop to read and send mail. Until recently, though, there was no alternative but to use #Outlook on my #MobilePhone, which I used as little as possible. However, since #Thunderbird bought #K-9Mail, it has brough out a new version of the #MobileApp which does support two-factor authentication and so I can purge Outlook. #Progress
