Pi Zero-w has arrived. Currently it lives in my glasses case while i figure out what to do.
Did the basics of 'oh hey let’s see if i can SSH into it and run updates and…
Current goal is to take Piratebox, file off the ‘pirate’ branding, and see if I can’t edit a few things to have a media box (yes yes library box. I really should check to see if they’re Pi-W compatible yet.) After that?
End Goal is to try making Cory’s PAN Devices and or the MandleBot I’d seen in the old comments section (offline peer to peer personal social page/node that can talk to other devices like itself to get more stuff.)
Edit: The Zero can act as a thing that plugs into a computer’s USB port and draw power from that port. It has wifi. Could I plug Pi into computer that has no wifi and have it use the pi’s wifi? If so since the Pi is a full linux machine could a PiHole or other security minded protection/from the rest of the network be made out of it?
Usage Cases: I go to some public access point and don’t want my computer exposed, or I want anyone that tries to get into my computer to see the pi instead (maybe nice to leave a public facing ‘oh hi you’e reached the terminal of USERNAME please leave any messages in the box below or files you wish for USERNAME to look at and they will get reviewed at USERNAME’s earlierst convenience.’
