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

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

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

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

Huge USB stick or tiny woman?

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] BennyTheExplorer@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week 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

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

[-] pelya@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

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

[-] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 1 week 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.

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

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

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days 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 1 week ago

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