Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy tools by RockyC in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Do yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.

My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.

Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.

SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing by RockyC in c/technology@lemmy.world

I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

How the Biden campaign is tackling its Black and Latino voter problem by RockyC in c/politics@lemmy.world

If he really wants my “black vote” in November, he can start by ending all arms shipments to Israel. Watching little brown-skinned babies get blown to smithereens makes me want to stay home on Election Day or vote third party.

How random. My 2014 MBA with Intel HD Graphics 5000 runs Linux beautifully. What a difference a year makes.

Israel can fuck right off, and so can Juliana Marguiles, says this member of the “Entire Black Community.”

Show your distro pride with a “Powered by” Linux sticker. 70 distros to choose from. by RockyC in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It IS accessible. SVG is a standard format that can be opened by any number of different programs across multiple operating systems.

Just because you chose not to install one of those programs is not my problem.

I don’t get mad when I need to open a pdf but I don’t have a pdf reader. I install a fucking pdf reader.

Get off of your horse, dude.

I suppose that I’m just too lazy after spending tens of hours locating 71 different high resolution logo files, a bunch of different word marks, researching and installing various typefaces, creating layers, groups, precisely aligning and resizing stuff 71 different times, converting all the text into outlines, hiding all the layers, creating a repository, uploading to GitHub, and then offering it to anyone for free.

Inkscape isn’t necessary. Any app that can open SVG files should work.
