This made me very nostalgic. Travis CI was one of those truly industry changing things. It was one of those moments where the before state of running your own Jenkins instance to have some CI for your projects suddenly just felt wildly silly

On this day twelve years ago, in 2013, #curl got its first ever CI jobs. On Travis CI.

Before that we only ran post-merge tests on a set of volunteers' machines.

Today, we have around 230 separate CI jobs and we have tripled the number of test cases since then.

Now that's odd. this image, unlike the other one, doesn't contain the inetpub folder. Oh no. I'm freakin' out! So did 6456 not actually integrate properly? That's the one that would add it. How strange. So it might only get you as far as the .3XX builds. But not 6456. If updates fail for you, try to enable the Internet Information Services (IIS) feature in Windows, since that creates inetpub. Wow. Makes me sad again! Not sure if I can apply 6456 to a multilingual image easily.

@Aryan well, for custom installs the 6456 image isn't bad. I've considered this one: what if all languages being in lang.ini is the reason people can't in-place upgrade? would need to try on a consumer version of the OS like home/pro to truly know this, but I might test an ISO with that and see. lang.ini should only list "english" since ours isn't multilingual, it's in \sources\.

Here it is, at 4 AM, thanks NVDA progress bars for getting sharper and sharper to wake me up with. Windows 10 Multilingual ISO that allows you to downgrade from Win11. I'm sharing this as a public link and will update my other post accordingly once mirrors have this file instead. (Mirrors will also be addded here.)
Ultimately, this one was based from UpDown Tool's own ESD, which had integrated all Windows languages, then 3 KB updates and a component store cleanup (resetbase) was done to try and shrink the image a bit. The result is about 700 MB of extra space - most likely these may be superceeded forms of files, but the clean-up didn't catch them. Max compression on the ESD. Run downgrade.bat in the ISO within Windows to be told that installation is in progress and you'll be greeted with Win10 in no time.

@mcourcel well, some might. Windows 11 started the leaky explorer, so you need Explorer patcher now to even get it to not be slow when arrowing through folders. I think for anyone fully vested in Copilot and other AI, win11 can still be good, or for gamers where Direct Storage makes a big difference. Since downgrading to Windows 10 preserves drivers and settings it's a lot easier than custom installing it for some too. So lots of reasons :D

The new ISO file is about 400 MB larger, at 5.37 GB. It's now truly 5 GB. Wow. adding those languages. Thanks to whoever thought of the DISM idea to install packages inside of the .msu but that did the trick once I recursively tore apart the updates and applied each component of it one by one. Weird, Dism, you can go fuck yourself with a sharp cactus all day today. Otherwise yes. I tested with Win10 pro, and it allowed me to upgrade to LTSC, so this one's no joke.

I Often get asked if my memory is better trained because I need to keep more code in my head than my sighted colleagues when #programming . I don't necessarily think so; I quickly look at code I literally just saw five minutes ago about as often as anyone else I would think, but there is a more subtle difference that I think a lot of people, myself included, often forget about.
We often hear that #commandline is best because it makes you more efficient, you can do SO MUCH more SO MUCH faster than using the dreaded MOUSE! :-O
..... that is, if you can remember all the commands, commandline switches, file locations, etc.
And I think that is true for people like myself who don't use the mouse for its intended purpose like 90% of the time. We are dependent on hotkeys to get anything done, and those hotkeys DO have to be memorized to almost the point of instinctive muscle memory to get productive. In that sense, keyboard users kinda play on hard mode by default

The government does not track how often immigration agents hold Americans. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

@seddy ah yeah probably! But not yet. it won't be updated for like 12 more hours, LOL LOL. Ah gosh darn it. This really sucks. for now you can still use the official UpDown Tool which works for this. It may later fail to install the update (it did when I used it on a machine, oddly) but then at least you can use the ISO I created to upgrade, it's just that it's two upgrades right now. Not good. It'll be one by the end of evening, I'm fairly confident this was the issue.

There's the mismatch. My ISO only includes En-US as the language, but the ESD file the original UpDown Tool was using had all Windows display languages in it. Sadly unless I can get an ISO of win10 LTSC that has all languages and match that with this disk image, in-place upgrades from other operating systems like Windows 10 pro or 11 pro may not be supported. Really think this is the final piece I'm missing. I do not know how they did it, since a multilingual ISO for it feels so hard to track down.
Folks can use UpDown tool: teknixstuff.eu.zoomzoom.mzda.c… to first downgrade, then manually update through Windows Update. That defeats ever using my ISO, which will probably serve more clean installs than upgrades.

Does anyone know of good digital collections for historical research re: textiles in early America (say, 1700s to early 1800s)?

I have a student doing a project based on needlework from this period. She has found a few print volumes with good images of needlework from the time, but I am wondering if there is a digital archive or collection out there that might be of use.

I see. So even Updown tool had several versions. Wow. OK now that makes sense. One image let you do the pro/home downgrading, another image let you do the enterprise SKUs. So I would need to build an entire fresh new ISO of Win10 just like this, but for standard. Curse you, Microsoft. Wow. Another upload. Another 4 hours. OMG. OK, thankfully not. Looks like I did build it right, as boot.wim is in their secret sauce too. And your Windows install language must match En_US, since that's the only language in this ESD.

@jaybird110127 yeah there are dism packages provisioning enterprise to just enterprise, and pro/home to just that SKU. So it's probably dozens of DISM packages to replace, someone would still need to convert it to a .wim, mount it, do the hackery, unmount, and maybe it would work or not. So sadly easier to rebuild from a Win 10 22H2 ISO that's factory imaged to those SKUs.

Darn, so not all Win11 users can downgrade. That's so unfortunate to me. Now I'm disappointed. I followed ESD creation instructions to a tea, we even stamp the edition ID, and the regular UpDown_tool could do this. Really, really sad about this. Now all my work = wasted, nobody's gonna want to custom install Win10 and get all the drivers, ahahaha. Back to the drawing board we go. Updown tool somehow did this, but they definitely didn't stamp in Pro or home because in their image I could use it from Win10 LTSC, just as well as I could from Win11 Pro. Hmm.
in reply to Aryan

mastodon - Link to source

Tamas G

@Aryan hmm not perhaps unless you made another .ESD file with a different edition ID stamped in? I don't know actually, that's a really good question. you will need to convert install.ESD from \sources into a .wim again: (example dirs/vars):
dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"%SRC_IMG%" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:"%OUT_WIM%" /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
That will create you a larger install.wim. Use a tool called, wimlib-imagex at github.com/chris1111/Wimlib-Im… - and write the proper metadata to that .wim:
wimlib-imagex info "%OUT_WIM%" 1 --image-property FLAGS=IoTEnterpriseS
wimlib-imagex info "%OUT_WIM%" 1 --image-property WINDOWS/EDITIONID=IoTEnterpriseS
wimlib-imagex info "%OUT_WIM%" 1 --image-property DISPLAYNAME="Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021"
wimlib-imagex info "%OUT_WIM%" 1 --image-property DISPLAYDESCRIPTION="Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021"
(change to Windows 10 Pro instead of enterprise.)
This might get you a newer install.wim that has the proper flags and lets you upgrade.

for oscdimg, which you will need to make any new ISO, you need to grab that easy ISO package and 7-zip extract its contents instead of running the .exe (Easy ISO) in there. (or you can use that tool too, but it does not set a volume label. Nevertheless it's good for quick testing.)

Ah yes. Windows 10, LTSC 2021, with updown tool built-in now has a public link! Thanks to some amazing folks who made this happen: We now have a Mega link, and a private host is coming thanks to a friend who's willing to generously host it.
This ISO has security updates from October 2025 integrated via DISM tool. That way you're not spending an hour updating your fresh new Windows 10, and doing the image clean up after. It includes a downgrade.bat file that will launch set up and start the process automatically, no prompts. (Thanks updown Tool, teknixstuff.com/Libraries/Proj…). We are including that same batch file and slight ISO changes to allow Windows 11 downgrades. However, if you get an error during install from within Win11 home/pro, you may need to boot from the install media and use Narrator to upgrade via their scripts.

@techsinger it's been such a mess! I was up until 3:30 trying to build this because if you just grab an install.wim straight of the Win10 LTSC ISO, it's compressed and has recovery. So that means if you mount that wim with dism, you'll be told it's mounted read-only, not read-write. Quite unfortunate to me. I didn't know this until I had integrated updates into the mountpoint. Ugh. So annoying. Then I had to make an install.esd first, convert that .ESD back to a .WIM, apply the updates to that .Wim's mount, reconvert back into an ESD... Oh my gosh. What a headache.
