What do you use your flash drive for?

What do you use your flash drive for?
I purchased one of these and with the intent of having very very important stuff.

What should I put on it it's a 64GB

to install windows 7

literally just use mine for installers

careful with that thing it gets hot as fuck

i don't have any important stuff. certainly not 64GB worth.

i guess i could archive all the anime i dl'd and watched once.

linux live distro, movies for watching on any TVs

I don't want an install os but the only important stuff I have is family pics. I would but anime on it but I have an hard drivr full of it.should I just run a live persistent distro?

Fill it with 64gb of random data and then use the entire thing as the key for an encrypted volume

I'm gonna buy a 2nd one that is not a bad idea.
How would I do that? Let me know.

One of the best deals on the planet right now:

Mushkin Enhanced Ventura Plus 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model MKNUFDVS64GB

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226378

It's important to get the Plus model, not the Pro. The Pro is slower and less reliable, the Plus is damned fast and indestructible. I got four of these about five years ago and have used them extensively. All perfectly healthy.

There's also a model called Impact, which is faster, more expensive. But, reviews consistently claim it's nowhere near as fast as advertised. Just faster than the Plus.

I've got one plugged into my PS2 for homebrew, the others are just for reinstalling operating systems. One of my TVs doesn't have an HTPC or anything so sometimes if I'm working in that room I'll throw a movie or TV show season on a flash drive and play them with the TV

protip this is a good thing (for prolonged write speeds) the memory conducts heat to the case rather than cooking inside an insulating plastic shell

Pretty much this. I haven't had the need to physically transfer any files in the last 5 years.
I only use it when reinstalling my OS

a linux installer on an old (like 7 years old) 4GB flash drive. And a couple bigger (16-32GB) flash drives for backups of various stuff, like personal photo and video albums.

Porn and CD-Images for emulators

the most important fap material you have and you never want deleted

Would it be possible to have two installer or live versions of different linux versions on one stick? So while booting you can select any version you like. Got no need/ use for that, was just wondering.

Well I know for sure I will put important files on them like pictures and videos. I'm not sure about porn as it's a very gud flash drive and would like not to explain all my hentai or weird porn

I backup all my porn on it and encrypt it.

Of course, it's no different than having two operating systems on the same HDD or SSD

I think it's possible for an installer not to sure of a live distro os? Maybe I'm not too sure as I think you will have to have space for them and might be just more trouble.

search "multiboot usb drive"
pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/

or, "multi installer usb drive"

tl;dr - Yes.

Rescue CD

Whatever helps you to sleep well at night, degenerate

What porn you have you need to encrypt? Like I know that you can encrypt a hdd, SSD, usb etc but what is making me curious is the using a flash drive as an encryption key like how? I don't get that and am interested.

Keeping offline/personal backups of:
Keepass DB
Crypto wallets
Halo CE
other important shit

Ohh that's an interesting usb. I forgot about databases that's very true. I'm not into the crypto game so I have no interest in it.
Halo CE?
Like what important stuff? Pics vids and other data?

I just put encrypted files on the flash drives.
Mostly just videos of camshows or live cam stuff I paid for basically hours upon hours of some gay porn of some girly looking guy with a 8.5" Dick and sometimes with his gf.
Good stuff but I have like 20GB of images and stuff saved and need it secured.

Yea that's what I thought
The space would probably the biggest problem.
That's the word I was looking for.
Thanks

Just random confidential shit. Scans of gov. issued IDs, passports, that sort of thing.

Useful stuff to have in a pinch but not something you want everyone to have access to.

This, seriously. All of the best fappable Facebook pics that I've saved over the years are stored on a flashdrive.

>Halo CE
Halo 1 for the PC. Gotta be prepared.

I mean someone said you can use the flash drive as an encryption key. Said to put random data on to it and use it as a key.

I'd never have my encryption key as something that could physically be taken from me and used without any interaction on my part.

Use veracrypt, create a container for your encrypted files or encrypt the entire USB

Isn't an encryption key still need a passphrase for decryption is very useless to have if it will never be decrypted. Until the password is found either thru brute Force or something

I have one with Xubuntu on it, one with DBAN on it, and the only other reason I use them is transfering files to my work PC from home.

windows 8.1 installer
linux installer (Antergos, because Arch + several different DE out of the box)
memtest
Portable software
cv+motivational letter
phone ROM backup

> What should I put on it it's a 64GB
Cracked PS4 games, for example.

I used yumi to make multiboot Pendrive
I put on my flash drive linux installers (mint cinnamon 64 bit and xfce 32 bit), 2 bootable rescue tools (hirens boot cd and sysrescue cd), dban, bootable antivirus.
Also i put inside some windows portable tools (like recurva).
I use this pendrive as multitool to fix computers (i can copy important data from dead OS, wipe out disk and then install new OS).

I used to do this too, eventually stopped, because I never needed all that recovery shit. I still have a dozen memtest, ophcrack, live linux and other CDs lying around, never used them because common sense 1.0 was enough for me and just used my computer to repair others.

Push it down my butthole

I don't, I use CD-Rs

I a similar one plugged into my car radio.

I use my flash drive to bypass restrictions at uni and transfer files between my systems

>having very very important stuff
are we talking abour porn?

I have six 16 GB ones in my bag, each has an installer/live os on it. I can survive anywhere.

Got a few flash drives for different bootable distros and a couple for just transferring files and shit

It starts with C and Ends with Porn and is two words.

Curry Porn is the best!

Create a key file for a kdbx

Flash drives are used for transferring large files, sharing files without dealing with bullshit, and because they're bootable.

Many people have bought a flash drive thinking they're going to load it out with all sorts of neat useful tools and make it into a toolkit, but eventually you figure out it's better to just keep all the files you need on a laptop and then transfer stuff on/off a USB key as you need it. You will eventually wipe your USB key to use it as an install disk or something anyways.

With porn it's really weird. Everyone watches it, Porntube, Youporn etc aren't so big for nothing, yet noone wants others to see it. I wouldn't want to carry my porn around on my stick unencrypted so noone can discover it and be "Oh, so THAT are user's fetishes.."

Patrician taste.
Clown girls are really sexy.

>not storing your data on external HDDs or home servers

Put an encrypted folder on Google Drive or Dropbox you retard. Unless you like losing data.

>Needing installers

You're fucking sick camels aren't for for porn.

They are for arabs.

TAILS OS and its assorted blacknet stuff. If I'm dealing with shit that can get me v&, I want it to be in a format I can easily stomp to pieces in the few seconds I have after hearing the police's battering ram.

By the time the cops come to arrest you, they don't need any proof from your home, they already got enough on you to put you in jail.

We're talking Murka here, user. Proof is an afterthought for the cops, just look at the constant reports of raids on innocent people's homes, to say nothing of swattings. They can stage a SWAT raid at your granny's for shits and giggles, and afterwards not even parading her labradoodle's grapeshot-ridden corpse will get her any justice. They just say "oops we were operating on bad intel our bad" and all of America will start clapping in unison for our heroes in blue.

Oh, sorry, forgot you live in a police state. Here they already collected all the evidence they need before they knock on your door. Even if they didn't, a destroyed storage media will get you an obstruction of justice charge ON TOP of the original crime they wanted to nail you for.

>implying I don't have broken computer shit lying around everyday

I run arch on it.

>What do you use your flash drive for?

I put movies on one to watch through my Xbone.

>implying police will care when you broke it if it's in plain sight

Carry my bootable live linux partition to avoid using windows everywhere I go where I dont have my thinkpad

Why not use hdmi, you could then even play vidya with no loss

i only have a 64gb ssd in my surface so i move game install folders and iso's on and off a 128gb microsd. my media is remote, i only keep games and image folders locally

Hmm, guess I'll have to come up with another idea. Maybe keep carrier pigeons nearby, if police knocks I strap the pendrive to one and release it.

Tails kills the entire live environment and physically overwrites all RAM with zeros in the system the moment you pull the CD with a watchdog.
Just put a persistent encrypted volume for changes at the end using dm-crypt and some grub options and you're golden.

>stomping the drive kills the data

I stole a 16 gb sandisk at school

STOP WATCHING PORN, DEGENERATE

it's where I store my Jaiden Animations porn

If you have a smart TV, it's a lot easier and less cumbersome, especially if you have your computer in another room

>ozbargain
keke

to store this kinda content, if something goes wrong, flush it down the toilet, after crushing it first

I use it to for general computer data storage.

I backup shit like Firefox bookmarks, uMatrix and uBlock Origin rules files in it.

no u

I legit had no idea Samsung made flash drives.

Got a 32GB with a few bootable ISOs on it; thanks YUMI!

OS installations / Live distros

I would never trust a flash stick of that size. Had too many bad experiences. Never trust them for saving anything, let alone important.

Cheese with a VeraCrypt hidden volume

What was the bad experience and what alternative would you recommend?

>at the end
At the end of what? Can you explain in better detail. Most people just use the persistent partition for instillation files like winrar and system updates

Nobody uses tails on CD anymore

There's more chance of losing a pen drive or someone "borrowing" it than a hard drive failing
