  • If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

    It was a joke, this time.

    But back in my university days (holy shit I feel old, that was around 17 years ago), when flash drives were still new ish technology. I had installed a Linux live cd, which was a brand new idea back then, on my USB stick that also contained a bunch of my files.

    I thought it would be a fun idea to rm -rf / to see what it would do to a live cd environment.

    Then I realised it was not a fun idea as I started to see the names of my project documents being deleted.
