Just bought a Raspberry pi. Was so excited until I realized I don't have a microSD card. Fml

Don't get a cheap one. Save yourself from that pain. I've got an old 8GB one I was using, but it was slow asf.
Put in a new 32GB one and it worked smoothly.

@maltedMilk They don't.

You can just put an empty file in the boot partition called ssh and it will boot once with SSH enabled

@andros705 about a third the way down this post says how to do it:

@maltedMilk

Just CD to boot and run touch ssh

@matthewp3247 that assumes you have a keyboard and mouse attached and are not accessing the device remotely

@hourd I mean take out the sd card and do that on your main machine

You can netboot that thing.

That's why I bought the kit

My flash drive is secretly a USB adapter to a 32GB microSD… shh

I just went through my trash drawer and took the best one I could find in there. It was a 32GB Class 10. It's OK I guess.

Always have a trash drawer for cases like these. Fill it up with cheap bulk stuff. It's always gonna come handy. I once bought a bulk order of fast USB drives, 8, 16GB. Now I don't have to worry about which one to use for a new Linux distribution.
