Just destroyed 2 of my older USB drives. Both times trying to put windows iso on it. One was Windows 10 iso, that was few years back. Another was Windows 11 iso few months ago.
No I did not "forget" that it had destroyed earlier USBs, I merely thought the problem might have been fixed or that it was just a bad luck at the time. I was wrong.
Also, its not the same computer either, its an entirely different computer.
some windows images arent compatible. Although I don't blame ventoy for this.
Also for some reason I cant resize the main partition on a ventoy drives for some reason on gparted in case I need some persistence. I cant tell whos at fault there tho, I just use a .ventoyignore and store my shit in a folder in the main partition.
it's made by a chinese dev, but despite how cheap it looks, it works very well
it's a no-brainer if you have a flash drive large enough for multiple things, why spend time flashing different images as you need them with rufus when you can just throw them all on at once and pick what you want to boot from a menu?
Almost every piece of software I've ever written myself. I still use software I wrote in like 2015. Remember LULZ, if you want it done right, do it yourself.
Came here to post this. It's amazing how reliable Windows is when it's not running on some 15 year old dumpster-dive, and you don't Dunning-Kruger out and check every box when you run your install-time memescript.
Is there a striking difference between release builds and those git master builds that come out almost every day?
I always go for gyan's release builds (now 6.0) and I've very rarely had problems, but I'm not exactly a power user either
If you're actually using bootable USB sticks all the time it's worth it to get an USB disc image emulator from IODD
More reliable, better compatibility, faster and has a hell of a lot more features

same. back in the day, I've been using it because it was less bloated than WinAmp. now, I am using it because it just works, and there's no reason to switch.

> it just works
This. Also, the developer is a pretty cool guy, actually talks and listens to his users and fixes bugs in the blink of an eye.
It was there for me when I was a kid shelling into multi user dungeons. It was there for me when I needed to connect to my school's ancient Unix system to compile code for a class. It was there for me when I needed to debug a container at work. It's there for me when I need to install things on my home server. I know it's probably ridiculous to use an ancient Windows-only GUI to ssh, but for me it's PuTTY. I've never had to think of another way to do it because PuTTY has never failed me.
has the knowledge on how to use wiki been lost among zoomers too? anyway, you're not missing much. it was okayish in the first couple years of the Internet, but I can't imagine anyone playing this stuff today.
basically the precursor to what you'd now call an "MMO"
if you've at least heard of text adventures, think of that, but with multiple players connecting in from the internet or direct dial
often abbreviated as a MUD
>It was there for me when I was a kid shelling into multi user dungeons.
I just used SimpleMU with a SOCKS relay (great for getting past those pesky @sitelocks). The rest of your post is spot-on though - PuTTY is pretty fucking lekker.
it is the only way to make bootable windows. maybe I got filtered but I couldn't for the life of me `dd` the windows iso and get it to work, where Linux iso's always worked with dd.
the Media Creation tool fails if the medium isn't "big enough", even if the iso fits on it multiple times.
it's not what it's designed for, though i do agree that would be a nice addition
rsync can't replace syncthing, at least not for it's typical use-case, for the specific case of a one-way mirror between two parties, rsync can do that, but syncthing can do two-way sync between an arbitrary number of peers, it can even do syncing between peers that can't see each other directly or aren't online at the same time (a sneakernet)
all good, yes, i'm not suggesting it's a replacement for rsync either, like i still back my vps up with an rsync script
when you just want non-realtime one-way mirroring of datasets, rsync is usually the best tool for the job, even if syncthing got local folder sync i wouldn't stop using rsync for some things
>Rufus
Anytime I need it on a machine where I don't have it, I keep needing to remember to download an older build of it because the newer builds keep fucking up making bootable Windows USB's for me
Slowview/Brennig's media viewer, later became Ashampoo Photo Commander but i still use Brennig´s 1.4.3 from 2005.
20+ years of use through win 95/98/XP/2k3/7/10, still the lightest and fastest media viewer i ever used.
it failed me, couldnt burn discs
ironically it couldnt save itself

This. Let me take full advantage of my 32GB Live USB drive. Bretty gud.
piece of shit fucked up my secure boot keys. pass.
Filtered. If you don't know what you're doing, best to stick to Etcher.
Wut. I'd love to hear this story
There's no story.

you asked for it
Lol nope. This one has destroyed 2 of my USB drives on two different occasions.

the amount of USBs this shit freed up for me is insane
Doesn't play nice on some older machines and MacBooks in my experience.
this shit has failed me countless times

ffmpeg is the single most important piece of software in human history. this isn't up for debate.
someone should make an os that uses ffmpeg for literally everything
The creator of this is french? I had no idea, between this and VLC what's up with frogs and video.
The guy is a literal programming monster, he also worked on QEMU
I'd love to watch how people like him work
ffmpeg is so obvious is almost doesn't need mention
this shit is so absurdly powerful and useful that it's a bit ridiculous

if git has never fucked you in the ass then you don't use it enough
I keep sufficient bare repo copies because I knew it would fuck me in the ass eventually so I made myself copies of my ass to fall back on
every time it caused me a hard time, it itself contained the solution. e.g. cherrypicking.
i would not call that getting fucked in the ass.

What do you mean by "multi user dungeon"?
zoom zoom
Yes, but its not my fault. Please allow me to become better.
has the knowledge on how to use wiki been lost among zoomers too? anyway, you're not missing much. it was okayish in the first couple years of the Internet, but I can't imagine anyone playing this stuff today.
Well, you just exposed yourself as to not experiencing online culture in the 90s.

Thats what i thought. It also sounds great.
It's also BAR NONE THE BEST serial monitor ever.

This is more down to Intel than anything, but still pretty impressive.
Made Linux computing a breeze
doesn't work for creating a windows bootable usb drive
Bullshit. I've used it to make a Windows installer drive
it is the only way to make bootable windows. maybe I got filtered but I couldn't for the life of me `dd` the windows iso and get it to work, where Linux iso's always worked with dd.
the Media Creation tool fails if the medium isn't "big enough", even if the iso fits on it multiple times.
> can't sync from one local folder to another local folder
> devs don't want to implement it either
Ok, back to rsync
it's not what it's designed for, though i do agree that would be a nice addition
rsync can't replace syncthing, at least not for it's typical use-case, for the specific case of a one-way mirror between two parties, rsync can do that, but syncthing can do two-way sync between an arbitrary number of peers, it can even do syncing between peers that can't see each other directly or aren't online at the same time (a sneakernet)
syncthing IS powerful, no question. It just didn't align with my needs (yet). I think I'll look into it again some time.
all good, yes, i'm not suggesting it's a replacement for rsync either, like i still back my vps up with an rsync script
when you just want non-realtime one-way mirroring of datasets, rsync is usually the best tool for the job, even if syncthing got local folder sync i wouldn't stop using rsync for some things
why can't they add something that sounds relatively simple? they could just call rsync in the backend
anything from Nirsoft
For me, its CHKDSK. Never failed to unfuck a bad situation.
CHKDSK? Nice, thanks.

Came to post this.
does it come with some recovery tools in case of bad sectors, failed drives, partitions and volumes? or is it "just backup bro"?
Shrugs. It just works.
