From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's on your "Everyday Carry" USB stick? (lemmy.mtate.me.uk)

Just picked up a 128GB USB A/C stick that can go on my keyring. What are some things I should put on it to have access to at all times?

I already have self hosted services accessible over my VPN, so this would be for when I can't access that.

I'm thinking at least Ventoy and some common ISOs, then I'm not sure what else.

I haven't carried a USB stick in years, so not sure what I would do. Maybe a copy of my recipe book if I ever digitize it?

If you ever do digitize it, or even going forward for other recipes you use, I recommend checking out the recipe app Paprika 3. I've been using it for years now and love it. It even bypasses pay walls on recipe sites like NYT cooking when downloading. Enter the url in the browser section, and hit download regardless of the paywalls I've encountered so far. I put cocktail recipes in there too.

Sounds nice. I wonder if there's some open source project with similar features?
