To install a fresh version of the Debian I need to prepare a bootable USB stick.
First make sure I am writing on the right device. Yes, it is a very old 2GB USB stick.
fdisk -l | grep sdc
Disco /dev/sdc: 1,9 GiB, 2017984000 bytes, 3941375 setores
/dev/sdc1 * 0 774143 774144 378M 0 Vazia
/dev/sdc2 4060 9243 5184 2,5M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
Then transfer the ISO image bit by bit to the USB stick:
dd \
bs=4M \
if=debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-standard.iso \
of=/dev/sdc \
status=progress \
oflag=sync
