I just carry around a pwnagotchi on a keychain, and use my iPad to access it to do Linux development work, including run a full raspian desktop, dev tools, etc.

I’m a dummy. Can you explain your setup? How does the Pi fit on a keychain?

I searched for the term and it seems to be a DIY kit to do reinforcement learning to try to crack WPA keys?

It's running on a pi as with every other general computing device you can also run other stuff.

I get that.

I was just wondering about the comment that it can be carried around on a keychain.

Looking at the pictures, some have a little screen attached and maybe a battery, so thought it might be a bit too big for a keychain.

Okay, your keychain and my keychain might have different orders of magnitude, but yeah - I run the pwnagotchi as a standalone Linux machine (because that's what it is), and I use the paper display for my own purposes these days, just to view a calendar and subjects of last 3 messages to a particular mailbox .. when I want to do some dev, I ssh -Y in, and its just like a moderately performing Linux box ..

The pwnagotchi stuff is fun, but its also easily turned off, which means its not always just pwnagotchi'ing .. more of a battery powered raspian box I can also clip inside the moped glovebox .. When I get to my desktop, I can also just use standard KVM dongles and use it that way .. its not fast, but for a lot of things, its quite adequate ..

Thanks for clarifying. Your Pi case looks smaller compared to the others, so now it makes sense that it fits on your keychain.

Sounds like a fun little project.

It’s a productive setup. As a fully functioning Linux machine, I can use it for everything. The iPad/rpi combo is pretty nice .. a lot lighter than the regular laptop, but just as productive, all things considered.
