Description

in a passed life i was a computer operator for a local council. i sat looking at greenscreen monitors all night running software called HELMSMAN and i used to have fetch security tapes from a safe that it needed to pull data from.

Many people work with multiple operating systems like Windows, Linux, or MacOS. Unfortunately, there is no single filesystem that works well across all of these. When moving files around, you often find yourself needing to reformat a flash drive (after ensuring that you've backed everything up) or find a different drive.

I love anything tool wise for the raspberry pi that makes hard drive life easier, this seems like the perfect tool to be able to rapidly re-install software on multiple platforms, especially if i'm make sandboxes for rapidly building up partitions.

Someone did a neat hack on the Pi so that if you plugged it into a Windows PC it took over the internet connection and did some nasty stuff. Computers should not default to trusting what is plugged into them.

most of the people that would back this are smarter than that luckily! :) -- windows is a joke for security, most OS's are these days tbh, people need to care more about security but they rarely do.

Isn't the Linux ext partition is accepted on both Mac and Windows (recent version) ?

I personally don't use flash drive anymore because I use Dropbox pro plan and pretty much everywhere is connected on the net these days.

sure, if you know what your doing then you have a lot more options these days, but i do like the notion of a pocketed device like this, especially if i'm a helpdesk or network engineer on site -- for instance when i had my GSP this would have been awesome to reconfigure my rack servers for our basic socket manager for the gaming racks we put in.
