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.

    Well if you don’t have an actual use case for it, don’t try to artificially find one.

    The only thing I use USB sticks for nowadays is for OS installs.

    For everything else their write speeds are slow (even the more expensive USB sticks slow down to a crawl after what feels like not even one complete overwrite) and they are unreliable.

    Sure, if you want to carry around random OS installers and live environments, go for it. I personally don’t have a use case for it.
