What is the normal way to make bootable USB from Win10 image on Ubuntu?

dd, I think. I've done this but it has been a while. I thought that the Disk Writer normally worked.

dd is what I use most often. Use fdisk to delete the partitions on your USB. Then you'd have something like dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/usb/dev bs=4M

But the Win10 ISO file isn't bootable. It isn't a hybrid image like many linux distros have. So it won't work.

I see. Truth be told, I replied without actually testing :(. I should know better than to assume what works for my various Linux ISOs would work for windows :).

I'm about 6 months in, and am starting the process of looking. I underestimated how rough the commute for the 3 on-prem / 2 remote schedule would be.

Same vendor just exposed the city of Vidalia, LA for doing the same thing... making it public that their police, fire and other services specifically are exposed and vulnerable to hacking. This vendor's feed is like a public "who is easy to hack by script kiddies" bulletin board.

There is only one Vidalia. That's Vidalia, GA

They use IMAP ; categories aren't supported via this link from microsoft

Still? I remember that being a thing years ago when I moved users off of POP to IMAP. It seemed like the world ended when categories stopped working

Comp day failure I had forgotten I signed up for a VMWare training on a day I chose as a comp day.

@Pete-S said in Pure KVM server "hardening"?:

I'm thinking about running pure KVM on debian for virtualization hosts. Not Proxmox. There will be no GUI on the servers, no web interface, only ssh for management.

Do I need to do anything special to lock down the security?

I've never used KVM in production, only on my desktop and then I've had virt-manager as well as tools like virtsh. So I don't really know what is required for a pure KVM server to be as "secure" as proxmox, xcp-ng or whatever.

I'd consider this normal rather than special, but force only key-based authentication for SSH.

Evaluating this environment as I am at DEFCON Walkout.

I am a bit worn from being a team player in an office that doesn’t recognize it doesn’t have a team.

Right now I’d take that 80 mile a day trip again…

It could be 162 miles round trip, 3 days / week

I hope your father's ok.
