Problem: A USB stick cannot boot with any of Porteus, the boot-repair LiveUSB, or SystemRescueCD. It used to be bootable with Porteus, and before that it could boot with other Linux LiveUSB distributions.
Solution: Ventoy

Yet another “everything” wiki, starting from fork of Wikipedia (MediaWiki)
Just as creationwiki exists for their biblical worldview, Infogalactic exists to separate itself from Wikipedia‘s// increasingly-disturbing ideologies and general untrustworthiness.

2017-01-21 — Since President of the United States was not updated, this project is being abandoned.
- It’s obvious this is an under-loved project, and I’m not willing to take it on to keep it updated.

Problem: I have a messy old Windows installation, and I want to reinstall it from scratch. However, I own Windows 8, applied the Windows 8.1 upgrade, and then got the free upgrade to Windows 10. I don’t have a Windows 10 installation disk.
I don’t want a new disk, I want a USB stick.
I don’t want Windows itself booting from a USB stick, just the installer on it.
Update: The solution is probably to get the ISO then use Ventoy.

Think of this topic along the same lines as ethical vegetarianism. How to look at places and things and consider them in a different way.

I used roll20.net to play this.
I wanted to play Okami – (2006 game) on my PlayStation 2 again. My old monitor had an S-Video input, but newer ones do not.
There are little adapters and adapter-cables, but those will not work on most monitors. They are a sort of “straight through” adapter which rely on the monitor understanding the signal a certain way. I bought a “HDV-G3000 PS2 to HDMI Video Audio Converter Adapter 1080P” which did not work.
Solution: Most people have RCA connectors, but what you really want is to have the highest-quality output from the PS2 and convert it using a device. So you take the high-quality cable for a PS2, which gives you S-Video output, and plug that into a converter box. The plus side is you can do upscaling and probably video switchboxing.
I ended up getting:
An two-source audio mixer, so I can use one set of speakers for my computer and the PS2 is another project I only briefly looked at and haven’t started yet.
