And sometimes /dev/sr* because I like mechanical storage devices. If there's enough time, I'll even burn a DVD and boot that rather than use Ventoy. I like the sound and extra work - putting it on the spindle, burning, verifying, marking the disc, waiting minutes for the boot-up and having enough time to read the boot messages. Some DVDs/CDs even had really nice smell, but I don't know how to identify those. Time wasting, unnecessary? Yes, but I like the process. Same reason why I pay for Mullvad in cash. Print envelope, print payment token, put the cash and token in, close, choose postage stamps to use, wet them with a fine brush (I WILL NOT LICK THEM, YUCK) and stick them on. Then carry it to mailbox and wait for the time to be added. This is slow, expensive and tedious, but I like it. Oh, and I get to see many different postage stamps. Today I received more I ordered, and holy shit!!! I got some special unique ones! COVID-19 stamp with 3D effects that can be felt with finger, heat embossed stamp of a not so good former president (but the stamp is only of its kind) and a fucking lenticular soccer-themed stamp (moving image based on angle of viewing) and more!
