@matigo I'm convinced it is a Windows 11 issue. Though creating one using dd under Rocky Linux yielded no joy either. I need to move a server over to Ubuntu for current .NET core and Blazor stuff. I suppose I will fire up an ancient Dell I have that is stuck on Windows 10 and have another go.
Out of five brand new USB drives, two PCs, and three separate programs, I managed to make exactly ZERO bootable Linux install images for either Ubuntu or Rocky Linux.
I've never encountered anything like this before.
Still alive and kicking. Totally overwhelmed with work-related stuff. Aside from this and a few other annoyances, everything is hunky dory.
@matigo I’m sympathetic with and share the “if it ain’t broke” ethos but when the ecosystem your tools reside in breaks…
The number of people I encounter who are still running scheduling, accounting and CRM apps written for the DOS version of Clarion Professional Developer astounds me.
About as much as it astounds them that I am actually familiar with it.
Anyway. New customer and ugly data conversion underway.
Additional fun activity. Mailing your quarterlies to the state even though you haven't even had time to hire anyone yet nor pay yourself (separate company)
Oh the joys of tax day.
Joyous still, deciding to do it with H&R Block and their e-filing servers being down with no official response so having to write checks and mail them like a dinosaur.
Working on a UI and the perverse part of me wants to make it absurdly skeuomorphic.
Relaxing afternoon of reading on the porch with the furball and listening to the rain. Beats coding any day.
