Why is your piss bottle so small?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I drink most of it immediately, no need for storage

32G USB drive: 8G partition with bootable Linux Mint (can you guess what I do for a living?) The rest is FAT32 storage

That you specified the partitioning is my favorite part 😆

I could write a similar list about the flash drives I use at work or at home.

32G stick mentioned above

32G "Imaging" USB stick

  • 400M partition with a customized bootable Clonezilla:
    • One boot entry that loads the OS to RAM, brings up an ethernet interface with DHCP, and mounts a Samba share to /home/partimag
    • One that loads the OS and brings up a bash CLI (Clonezilla is basically Debian with extras)
    • One that loads the OS and mounts:
  • A second FAT32 partition that contains:
    • A Debian 11 image
    • A Linux Mint image
    • A customized Ubuntu 22.04 VirtualBox OVA image

 

2G "iHaxit" USB stick with a read-only switch

  • MAS
  • tron
  • Utilities that Windows often marks as malware and tries to delete

 

128G "Rescue"

  • Bootable Windows recovery disk
  • Plenty of space to save important documents before the subject computer is nuked

 

32G "DO NOT USE" stick that I nuke and reformat for whatever purpose I need (not to be used for storage)

...plus a lot of optical disks with various Windows installers.

Check out Ventoy, it's a utility for booting any disk image fron USB storage and might help reduce the number of drives you need to carry. Also, it supports data persistence if you want a portable live OS. =D
