I appreciate the enthusiasm but I don't plug in usb sticks from strangers

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Just like sex with strangers: if you're going to insert it, make sure to use protection.

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

for this one I think you're gonna want a burner pc(like a burner phone but it's a pc) ๐Ÿ˜…

Nice try CIA. I ain't plugging USB from strangers.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 20 points 2 months ago

Huge USB stick or tiny woman?

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

This Mint install doesn't fit on just any 8gb stick...

[-] Damage@feddit.it 0 points 2 months ago

Friends don't give friends Linux Mint

Here have my nixos install media... why are you walking away from me. WAIT, COME BACK!

[-] BennyTheExplorer@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

This is literally me. A friend of mine recently mentioned that they thought about installing Linux and I was instantly like "Please let me come over and install Linux with you" ;)

With current prices, that was the most affordable prop for the recording.

Polygamy is a different beast though in many jurisdictions.

Concubine me

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I hope you realize how much more expensive USB mass storage devices have become in the last three months.

[-] pelya@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

A Debian live image fits into 4GB flash drive. If you search stuff for sale you can probably find them cheap, and 4GB is practically the smallest size you can buy.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Can you even find 4GB flash drives anymore? Outside of sketchy ebay stores, I mean?

[-] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Companies at onferences give 4/8gb out sometimes. They buy branded ones in bulk.

[-] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

They hand out 1GB businesscard labeled ones like table pens pretty often at vendor booths

[-] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 2 months ago

I bought a brand new 4GB off Amazon last year that is supposedly made by Sandisk. Seems legit and been using it with one of my 3D printers.

Impossible to find them in any brick and mortar store anymore. Itโ€™s so dumb because they come in handy and I hate thinking of wasting larger drives with so many writes.

Now is the perfect time with memory being so expensive.

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

But distros are comparably tiny. So you can use up all those ancient sticks with a few GB you got as advertising that are collecting dust in some corner of a drawer for years. Sometimes they are even actually tiny when you free them from their tacky mascot- or logo-shaped exterior.

[-] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Had to read the text to figure out that the black block looking thing is a USB drive.
