klogg VS Rufus

I'd love to see a tool that lets you modify large files efficiently.

I had to replace line 4 of a 200 GB SQL dump, it took a substantial amount of compute time to perform a find / replace with sed and it also required having over double the disk space since sed creates a temp file before it writes out the new file.

Using a hex editor could have worked but it seemed too risky because data integrity was really important.

There's also some other scenarios where maybe you have a massive file and the tool that's using it (such as a SQL import) throws an error on line 1,025,421. Trying to find what the contents of that line is on the command line could be time consuming if you need to read in the whole file. For read operations I know there's a few graphical tools like https://github.com/variar/klogg that efficiently let you scan, search and jump to points in a file quickly but I haven't found a good one on the command line.

reminds me a bit of klogg https://github.com/variar/klogg which is more for log files and based off glogg which went dead. it has nice filtering and highlighting type stuff. It's great for live views of log files.

glogg / klogg

For anybody who goes through this hell, I highly recommend [Klogg](https://github.com/variar/klogg).

For example, the file star2002-full.csv from https://sdm.lbl.gov/fastbit/data/samples.html is a 1.99GB file and it takes less than 10 seconds to load in Notepad+. It's almost instant in https://github.com/variar/klogg.

You can also use Rufus. It has options to customize Windows 11 and one of them is to disable the hardware module requirement.

You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/

To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

3. NVMe drives may not gracefully handle sudden disconnections, because USB connections are inherently unreliable interfaces prone to physical disruption and loss of power.

If your drive decides to stop showing up, first try loading up the boot device selection screen in the UEFI, and then insert the drive. It may take several seconds to show up. If trying that a few times doesn’t work, the drive may be stuck in a bad state, and might be recovered with the power cycle technique https://dfarq.homeip.net/fix-dead-ssd/

Always set up automatic backups if you actually have non-replaceable data on the drive. They can and will just suddenly die forever with loss of all data, just like thumb drives. You have been warned.

All that said, there are generally less issues if you are simply putting ventoy on it to install from a loaded iso.

I have a dual raid1 sata enclosure that I use to boot a windows to go install created with Rufus (https://github.com/pbatard/rufus), which makes testing and benchmarking so much nicer to deal with. I’ve even stuck games on it, and other than relative filesystem slowness it works pretty great.

The author has extensive documentation and tutorial content. First steps: download CD image, download Rufus (http://rufus.ie), write the image to the flash drive, remember that this will clear the data on the flash drive and it will not be recoverable.

Seems like you're an absolute newbie. Well, here is the website: https://github.com/pbatard/rufus Direct download link Youtube guide to create a bootable pen-drive

You can use that to create a bootable usb stick using rufus: https://rufus.ie

Note: Once you have created the "persistent partition" on the pedrive (you can use Rufus),during the Ubuntu installation you have to select that partition as your /home
