I lost my 4G drive, it's in a better place now. It's been serving me since 2003 even when it lost its case to fit in a USB port on the Xbox 360.

Maybe the new owner of the house I moved out of will find it and the outdated copy of Arch Linux on it.

If they have any sense they'll not try to find out what's on it and send it straight to whatever electronics recycling is available.

Sticking a USB device of unknown provenance into your computer is just asking for trouble. (When you think about it, we even take a risk every time we buy one.)

Sure, you know it's harmless, but they don't know that, even if you tell them. Who are you? You're just someone who used to live in their house. As far as they know, you might be a freak who gets a kick out of leaving dodgy devices around for people to find.
