Installing Linux on a Flash Drive

Linux in my pocket I have a Windows 10 laptop that I can’t install Linux on. It’s a decent laptop with a nice form factor. It weighs half what my workhorse laptop does, and I want to take it on a trip where I’ll need to do many Linuxy things. (WSL has too many unknowns and potential blockers for me to be OK relying on). Short version: install the installer to a small flash drive, then boot into that and select the other flash drive as ext4 to install to....

Katamari Knockoff - Working Title

Weird Stretchy Problem on Instantiate > SetParent with Prefabs https://answers.unity.com/questions/868484/why-is-instantiated-objects-scale-changing.html Super weird stretchy problem when objects were made using Instantiate/SetParent. It turns out this is a change in unity 5.5 where a bool is needed with SetParent. problem 1 instance.transform.SetParent(transform); no problem 1 instance.transform.SetParent(transform, false); Moving things to the player once they’ve stuck Random.onUnitSphere doesn’t do what I want This makes things crazy.

Adding a Mount for Docker Images  [draft]

My docker-compose experiments filled up the 50G SSD partition pretty quick. I still had 500 GB of my 1TB drive unallocated, so I figured out how to make a mount, then symlinked the docker dir there. Format the partition (Linux Mint UI) Menu > Disks > 1.0 TB Hard Disk > Unallocated > + > Ext4 Investigate the file system 1 df -h I saw a new /dev/db3 device...

Dudeness and Dadness - A Marginally Inappropriate Webcomic  [draft]

Stayed up too late Body working overtime to clear out the stayed up too late toxins Worker cells watching me play games, standing around, bitching Finally someone makes the call to SHUT IT DOWN, I get passy-outy Kidneys have a derp face, pumping out urine Workers frantically cleaning toxins from brain, dumping in bloodstream by the wagonload Bladder full, someone hits the wake his ass up button Workers all laugh at the struggle to aim Some idiot hits the go play games button, but it quickly gets reset by the foreman, he was ready for that shit More toxins cleaning Brain throbs from all the vigorous scrubbing Told from the perspective of ‘workers’ inside the body observing the world through the dude’s eyes....

Graveyard Keeper Sanity Check  [draft]

Nope, none left dude, graveyard keeper arbitrary goal has probably evolved too far i’m doing math on efficiency of making one thing over another for maximum profit i’ve got 4 blog posts in progress talking about what to ignore and what to bumrush, and what kind of milestones to hit for certain production targets ok, one talking about that one about the specific church unlock in < 6 days bumrush one about general reactions to the game as a normal person like, seriously considering a gantt chart, right now the quest sequence is in calendar form and still not sure game win in < 100 days is possible I think I’m ahead of the crisis curve, then schedule slip because I’m the facilitator of all these conversations that characters just aren’t available for I think I’m clever for ignoring the garden and grapes, then it bites me in the ass and causes a 3 week delay in the inquisitor quests which gates 2 other questlines Though now that I think harder, I realize i can solve that by just buying wine, but that’s a short term solution, and a larger setback in the game progress as a whole, because money is the biggest blocker

Graveyard Keeper 100 Day Challenge  [draft]

Look at general guidelines in one week to cake guide High level goals/milestones establish faith flow sermon by first Sunday DON’T SPEND FAITH TO STUDY. Make hemp rope and conicals for blues. Save faith for snake/key, to get first zombie asap max out church quality writing prayer gold star faith prayer pretty much ignore graveyard and corpse quality stuff altogether after church level 2; hack out the important bits and burn them for ash merchant questline bumrush - don’t squander money, optimize for sales buy only 2~ grape seeds per week wine is a trap pre-business, don’t overdo it don’t do things like buy a ton of blue point books/ink/paper, better off investing in hemp seeds for rope-making blues sell stones (Cory) and wood bits (Tress) and flour (farmer) clotho materials and extra garden seeds (after first batch; they should multiply when you start using quality fertilizer I, at tier I alchemy) can wait unlock store asap focus on maximizing flitch/nail production to sell crates in store; once you get your second zombie, this can be entirely automated, just have to manage log and iron bar acquisition Quest sequence calendar https://docs....

No Sleep Just Cake: Zero to Sermon in One Week  [draft]

General guidelines for efficient use of time: Don’t rest except to reset the exhaustion debuff. If you plan your cake production right, you should have enough after the 2nd day to never rest, then start cranking out carrot fillets along with cakes when your garden starts producing. Sell stones for money right away Later, sell simple iron bits to the blacksmith for money Later, sell bronze and silver star wine to the innkeeper and gold star wine to the merchant for money Don’t get too excited about resurrecting zombies to help you....
