fanatic badge acquired! :D

yeah you!

now it's time to go for EIC ;)

@Ghanima did you hear that the Model B 3 was leaked?

I'm not sure I believe it or not. But it's from an extremely well respected website: sweclockers.com/nyhet/…

@Jacobm001 I've got about 20 hours until I get mine!

@PatrickCook not yet

Hey there! I'm thinking of experimenting with the Raspberry Pi. If I'm okay with only accessing it via ssh, is all I need the Pi Zero + micro-SD card + micro-USB to Ethernet adapter (for internet connectivity)?

And what size SD card is recommended generally?

@Doorknob: You'll also need a microSD cord to power the thing. If you want to go for a setup that allows for a GUI and everything, Jessie needs a minimum of a 4 GB card. I'd recommend an 8. If you get Jessie-Lite, and run a headless setup (no GUI just SSH), the 4 GB will be plenty large enough to start with.

@Jacobm001 I thought power was through micro USB? (Which I already have plenty of cords for.) I will be running it headless, but as far as I can see the price difference between 4GB and 8GB seems negligible, so I'll probably just go with the 8. Thanks!

@Doorknob Np. There's two microUSB ports on the Zero. One is for power, and one is for data (your ethernet connection).

Yep. Why do I need a microSD cord for power, then?

Oh....

cause I'm an idiot and didn't notice the typo.

Oh, haha, okay. Yeah, I have plenty of microUSB cords lying around not being used, so that shouldn't be a problem. So that's all I'm going to need if I'm running it via ssh?

Yeah, that should be all you need to get started.

Alright, thanks again! :)

@Jacobm001 you really enjoyed that doorknob searched half an hour for an microSD power cord ;)

@Ghanima My sarcasm once sent an idiot kid on an hours long search for a "tree adapter" to power his Xbox.

tree adapter

He asked if he could bring his xbox on a camping trip. My response was, "only if you buy a tree adapter to power it".

I figured he'd get the sarcasm... he didn't.

hehe ;)

so he probably didnt got one of those outdoor power cell thingies

Jeez... He'd strait up need a generator to power an Xbox, let alone the TV :P

cmon, you people go camping with your Super Duty or Chevy Suburban, I guess there's some space left for another power generator

If you can drive to the campsite, it's not camping.

So, Orgonites are different from the US, hu ;)

Well, some of us are :P

I'm pretty woodsy. Unusual for a person of my career choice...

it's not the worst thing that could happen

.. as long as you bring your tree converter

Well... if I chopped down a tree, and burned the wood, I could use that heat to boil water and power a turbine. Does that count?
