4 gigs is already overkill for embedded. it's weird how people think of computers as basically multimedia machines

>>108262768
I bought 25 usb keys that are 128 mb.
It was extremely cheap and I use them in the home lab. I am mainly using them as a storage to distribute each machine it's own GPG key. I use them with sops to decrypt some bootstrap credentials and then that brings the dynamic credentials rotation in.
I am using bootc and the images, done in that manner can be used to validate changes on a VM before pushing it the bare metal host.

Maybe. AVIF and JXL are the main modern image codecs competing to replace JPG but they each have pros/cons. For example AVIF is big on hardware acceleration but it's capped at 4K res.

Webp is the odd one out. However because it's so old it encodes/decodes fast so maybe try this one out first...

What a storage hog.

>>108262768
Some old/cheap devices don't work with newer, high capacity cards.
So keep them around.

>>108262768
2 GB and 32 GB are good for devices that don't support SDHC and ones that don't support SDXC, respectively. Most but not all "up to 32 GB" SDHC devices will just work with larger SDXC cards if you format them FAT32 first instead of exFAT. The SD-to-SDHC barrier is much more real though, and SD devices usually won't work with SDHC no matter how you format or partition them. Even if it's a 4 GB SDHC, which I think is technically within the spec for SD but almost all the ones you find are SDHC, it won't work because the device only supports the SD protocol.

>>108265878
Unless this is something other than RAID-0, which it probably isn't, it's data loss waiting to happen. Your chances with a MicroSD are alright if it's a good brand, but if you get 10 of them and everything is lost if any of them die, your data may as well already be gone before you write it.

>>108262768
32gb is what I use for 3ds roms

>>108262768
plug it into a camera. for some reason, not even expensive cameras can hold more than like 256 GB. i'd love a camera that takes 4K PNG images and plug a 1 TB micro SD into it.

>inb4 "just use your phone!"
phones have awful auto-smoothing and are really only good at taking photos of person-sized objects at a distance of a few meters. taking a photo of a miniature up close or a distant object is very shitty on even top-grade appleslop

>>108266264
128 GB formatted FAT32 with 64K clusters is pretty much optimal for a 3DS if you need more space. It doesn't seem to perform worse than 32 or 64 GB except that more icons take longer to load in the home menu, and above that the boot time suffers badly.

Small capacity cards I save for music players. Having a complete music collection everywhere makes it harder to search and plays too much random stuff; smaller cards with curated playlists are easier to grab and go.

4GB can hold a lot of shit, OP.

Create a Bootable Rescue Disk: Load it with tools like Hiren’s BootCD PE or SystemRescue for emergency IT troubleshooting and system recovery.

Run a Network Ad Blocker: Use it as the boot drive for a lightweight Raspberry Pi project, such as setting up a Pi-hole to block ads across your entire network.

Host Commodore 64 ROMs: Store a massive library of C64 games and software for use with hardware clones like the C64 Mini or software emulators.

Flash Motherboard/Hardware Firmware: Keep it formatted to FAT32 to safely store and flash BIOS updates for motherboards, network switches, or NAS devices.

Run a Lightweight Linux Distro: Flash a tiny operating system like Puppy Linux or Tiny Core Linux to breathe life into an old, resource-starved laptop.

Create an Encrypted Text Vault: Set up a small, secure VeraCrypt volume on the card to safely store sensitive configuration text files or password backups.

Transfer 3D Printer G-Code: Use it to reliably transfer sliced G-code files from your workstation to a 3D printer.

Store Retro Console Emulation: Keep a curated collection of 8-bit and 16-bit ROMs (NES, SNES, Sega Genesis) for a dedicated handheld emulation device.

Build an E-Book Library: Store thousands of classic sci-fi novels and reference documents in EPUB or MOBI formats for an e-reader.

Feed a Digital Photo Frame: Load it with a curated, looping slideshow of family photos or specific themes for a dedicated digital frame.

Use with Microcontrollers: Interface the card with an Arduino using an SD shield to log data from temperature or network sensors.

I have one (micro SD) that i use to expand my Stream 11 from 32GB to 64GB. I also used it as part of the process to flash LineageOS onto a SM-T580 aboot 9 months ago.

I have a 4gb usb drive i found in a move-out/make-ready that i just used to install Zorin on an HP 15-bs212wm. my Mint installer is on a 16GB i found in a remodel.

MechaHitler pretty much summed it up.
Each host has one dev and one "live" GPG key.

The live one lives on a USB drive and in Bitwarden (so I can recreate it when I screw up).
The dev one is in Bitwarden only (and the Makefile I’m using pulls it automatically).

I’m using Makefiles to encrypt/decrypt with sops, passing the fingerprints for the relevant nodes per secret.
When a machine boots, a systemd service decrypts the secrets from the bootc container into plaintext files and places them wherever needed.
For credential rotation, I follow these scripted steps:
If the required secret is available, the parametrized systemd service for that credential is disabled, then the rotation service is enabled.
I have two main cases:

k3s servers — they use ESO to rotate and maintain credentials + a DaemonSet that saves the data on the nodes.
Plain Linux machines — in that case, credential rotation generally happens via systemd timers that authenticate and pull new versions.

It works nicely and is easy to use/maintain.
Currently I have two challenges — the first two nodes in that setup are:

router
container registry

If either of those is unavailable, I will need to rebuild it from scratch.
As a result, I will end up:

installing the router (with an image, e.g. from ghcr.io via bootc),
installing the container registry node + internal DHCP server,
then reconfiguring the router to pull its image from the (internal) container registry.

Note: I am not self-hosting Bitwarden — I’m using their cloud offering.

32GB is plenty for any DSLR camera or 3d printer or esp32. It's also the maximum size that FAT32 can handle. Just get an adapter and use it as a USB stick if you're too retarded to actually be on this board.

It used to be but now AVIF has a special IQ setting. It's not exposed in GUIs so it's likely not many people know about it right now.

>80 = very high quality. Distortion not noticeable by an average observer in a side-by-side comparison at 1:1 from a normal viewing distance. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 1.5 / -q 85 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:2 quality 85.

I have lots of old consoles and flashcarts that don't need or cannot use higher quantity SD cards. My GameGear is never going to use the 8GB SD card in it, yet the smallest quantity I can ever find now is 64GB. I wanted to play a Wii mod that requires an SD card recently and struggled to find an SD card 32GB or smaller in my possession that wasn't already in use.

I've been using a few of them for old phones (which themselves have been given some utility purpose), and a few others for additional small drives for my NAS. I have a 1GB in it right now for tiny files I want to share between machines. I had a 4GB for the same purpose, but I don't know if the card or the reader is busted.

Me personally I would use the 32gb one in my modded n2ds, 32gb can get you plenty of games. Also didn't know 32gb was considered "low capacity" have file sizes really bloated that much? I know about the TB micro sd already.

seems like the perfect fit for your pocket install medium for a linux distro. Just to pop it into any computer you run into if you want to do computing without having to navigate whatever's already on the system.
