Many Linux to install on one USB stick
Ventoy is the tool of choice. Once the stick is prepared simply copy the ISO images onto it and it just works.
In contrast to regular ISOs you cannot use ``dd`` to bring it over. Instead (when you are on Linux) use the Script that is included in the Linux Download.
The stick will appear empty. Now copy the ISOs and boot from it.
sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdX # /dev/sdX is your sticks device (deletes all!)
Agile Comics
Advent Of Code
Nice challenge with a beautiful fantasy narrative around 24 (actually 48) algorithmic problems. It's fun and you can compete on a leader board with your friends and colleagues.
Python list convert
If you have to convert a list of strings to integer with Python.
listOfInt = [int(x) for x in listOfString]
Also useful to split a string apart into characters.
