If the tag wears out, if you change your mind, or if you want to move the tag to a new drive, pull the free ends of the string and pull the tag back through the loop. It might be quicker than going to get your scissors.

Get a small box of string label tags from a stationery or office supply store. (Avery calls them "strung" label tags.) For each thumbdrive:

* thread the string loop knot through the keychain hole,

* thread the tag through the loop anywhere behind the knot,

* pull the label out to close the loop and knot at the thumbdrive, and

* write the thumbdrive's contents or purpose on the label.

My most popular post is now a stupid throwaway computing pun using a random stock photo.

One of the apps on my #Windows 10 workstation was last updated 738,953 days ago. Should I be worried?

@cadey One of my customers told me yesterday their speed test said eighty millibytes per second.

While not perfect, growing your own tiny server farm can be rewarding.

If the answer you get to a software or coding problem is any variation of "just throw more computing power at it," including using "the cloud" (someone else's computers) instead of your own tiny server farm, the odds are pretty good you're either asking the wrong question or listening to a techbro.
