There are a number of fantastic Windows applications for creating bootable USB drives from ISO images - but those don't work on a Chromebook. Fortunately there's an easily-available tool which will do the trick: Google's own [Chromebook Recovery Utility](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromebook-recovery-utili/pocpnlppkickgojjlmhdmidojbmbodfm) app.
|
||||
|
||||
Normally that tool is used to creating bootable media to [reinstall Chrome OS on a broken Chromebook](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1080595) (hence the name) but it also has the capability to write other arbitrary images as well. So if you find yourself needing to create a USB drive for installing ESXi on a computer in your [home lab](https://twitter.com/johndotbowdre/status/1341767090945077248) (more on that soon!) here's what you'll need to do:

title: Free serverless URL shortener on Google Cloud Run

### Intro
|
||||
I've been [using short.io with a custom domain](https://twitter.com/johndotbowdre/status/1370125198196887556) to keep track of and share messy links for a few months now. That approach has worked very well, but it's also seriously overkill for my needs. I don't need (nor want) tracking metrics to know anything about when those links get clicked, and short.io doesn't provide an easy way to turn that off. I was casually looking for a lighter self-hosted alternative today when I stumbled upon a *serverless* alternative: **[sheets-url-shortener](https://github.com/ahmetb/sheets-url-shortener)**. This uses [Google Cloud Run](https://cloud.google.com/run/) to run an ultralight application container which receives an incoming web request, looks for the path in a Google Sheet, and redirects the client to the appropriate URL. It supports connecting with a custom domain, and should run happily within the [Cloud Run Free Tier limits](https://cloud.google.com/run/pricing).

### Adding the AD integration
|
||||
First things first: connecting vRA to AD. I do this by opening the Cloud Assembly interface, navigating to **Infrastructure > Connections > Integrations**, and clicking the **Add Integration** button. I'm then prompted to choose the integration type so I select the **Active Directory** one, and then I fill in the required information: a name (`Lab AD` seems appropriate), my domain controller as the LDAP host (`ldap://win01.lab.bowdre.net:389`), credentials for an account with sufficient privileges to create and delete computer objects (`lab\vra`), and finally the base DN to be used for the LDAP connection (`DC=lab,DC=bowdre,DC=net`).

I've [written in the past](/3d-modeling-and-printing-on-chrome-os) about the Linux setup I've been using on my Pixel Slate. My Slate's keyboard stopped working over the weekend, though, and there don't seem to be any replacements (either Google or Brydge) to be found. And then I saw that [Walmart had the 64GB Lenovo Chromebook Duet temporarily marked down](https://twitter.com/johndotbowdre/status/1320733614426988544) to a mere $200 - just slightly more than the Slate's *keyboard* originally cost. So I jumped on that deal, and the little Chromeblet showed up today.

PowerShell for ARM is still in an early stage so while [it is supported](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-core-on-linux?view=powershell-7.2#support-for-arm-processors) it must be installed manually. Microsoft has instructions for installing PowerShell from binary archives [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-core-on-linux?view=powershell-7.2#linux), and I grabbed the latest `-linux-arm64.tar.gz` release I could find [here](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases).
