American Chestnut. Have a few seedlings we planted in the front yard. Super excited to be part of the process of restoring them

Going home and relaxing. It's been a physically demanding week and my body could use a break

My workflow for editing css mostly revolves around playing around with the live css directly in the browser until it looks the way I want it to then making those changes in the file and reloading to make sure it's correct. The immediate feedback of seeing the changes happen makes it rather pleasant

The second icon looks like the Kirac vault pass rewards one. You have to open the chest in the vault for that to go away. Not sure about the first one though.

A lot of this is personal preference but I will suggest the following strategy. Mount all of your drives into subfolders of /mnt or /media (/mnt is usually used for more permanent storage but either is fine). Then symlink various folders on the system to this mount point. Like maybe you want your home folder downloads on one of these drives so /home/spawnsalot/Downloads is symlinkef to /mnt/drive1/Downloads.

This lets you pick and choose various places across your system that are actually on the additional drives but also the ability to see everything on the drives in one place.

Game installation location completely depends on the game itself. Some might install to /usr/bin, others to /opt, etc. You might have to dig around a little after install, move the folder, then symlink it like nothing ever happened.

It's also incredibly useful as a failsafe in a helper method where you need the argument to be a string but someone might pass in something that is sort of a string. Lets you be a little more flexible in how your method gets called

Couldn't you use painter's tape? Unless your glue joint is thin, it won't matter if some of the oil seeps past the tape. Pre-finishing is way easier than finishing after final assembly.

I spent years using i3 as my main machine and I loved everything about it. Fast forward to now where I have to use a Mac. Most of the time I'm in a terminal with tmux so it's fine but any time I have to deal with a gui element that is under something else I get more and more upset.

I've had buttons stop working. The mechanism inside that registers the click is a mechanical switch and they eventually die

If it were me and I was intending to automate this I would probably do the following. Set up each test distro as a VirtualBox image and take a snapshot so I could easily roll back. Then I would write a script for each distro that downloaded the package, installed and launched the app. I would then probably query the window system to make sure the gui showed up, wait a period of time if I had to and take a screenshot.

This can probably all be done as a set of bash scripts.
