If you've ever tried to setup the ENB hook/plugin/thing for Skyrim and noticed that the hotkey doesn't work to open the ENB panel in game (interestingly never had this issue before in Fallout though) then there is an easy fix. This commit 3866017 added is what ultimately caused the issue. You can fix it by reverting that commit in the wine submodule in the proton repo and building your own version…
I've been test driving Mango Wayland Compositor and I really really like it so far but have been having issues with the fact it's limited to 9 total workspaces. I use a single ultra wide so I tend to have a lot of crap open at any given time. Well poked around a bit and found it was easy enough to add so here is a quick patch for enabling 15 total workspaces. diff --git a/src/config/preset.h…
I've been slacking recently quite a lot in keeping up with our farm projects so in an attempt to rectify that I wanted to post about our most recent addition. My wife found this "Herb Spiral" idea in a farming book she had. The idea is that you build up with bricks a spiral that allows you to have a high, medium and low point in a small footprint area. On the surface this all sounds pretty…
I'm not exactly the most artistic guy in the world but I've been trying to find small things to get more practice on when it comes to welding control. I find that doing small parts like this an even larger challenge than running bead after bead as you have to make sure you get some level of penetration on the parts and also not blast the shit out of them. Can be quite hard. I've found that a 1/16"…
Well it's that time in our flock of chicks life that we kick them out of the house. They aren't full pullet stage yet but are big enough to get the hell out on their own. Welcome to the octagon! They'll stay in this enclosure for probably another two or three weeks before I let them out in the full pen. Right now they are still small enough to sneak through the electric netting without getting a…
This past month or so I decided that I finally wanted to learn something I've had on the back burner for many years and that is to weld. If you don't know what welding is it's the process used to stick one bit of metal to another bit of metal. There are a few ways to go about the process but the general gist is to melt metal together by use of electricity. I've had a few projects that I've needed…
I bought a Logitech MX Master 3S a little over a year ago and I like it a lot. I've been using the MX Master series mice since the first one and still have my original being used. Overall I really only have two complaints: I got the white mouse and the soft rubbery texture they put on it seems to be affected by something that causes it to quickly discolor. I used a bleach wipe once and it helped…
Thought I would do one of these posts and while going through it made me realize how much I use Pen + Paper over apps in a lot of cases. ♻️ Automation: Some combination of Home Asisstant and Tasker ✍🏻 Blogging: A couple of Kirby instances including this one 📚 Book tracking: Bookwyrm 🔖 Bookmarks: Raindrop.io, many open tabs 🌐 Browser: Firefox 💰 Budgeting: YNAB 📆 Calendar: Thunderbird on…
A while back I posted about my custom build Home Assistant garage door controller that I had been using for quite some time. It's worked flawlessly since I put it together and probably one of the few automations that I've build that has. Since then I discovered ESPHome and the ESP32 devices and thought that I should replace my old solution for something like that. I didn't think it should be too…
A bit late for this as I close out a very busy March. I haven't really done a great job of posting a lot of these updates but one thing I realized doing more static based content is that it doesn't really show up in RSS feeds so that was supposed to be the reason for posting them. Still, better late than never I guess RV Repairs As usual the RV needed more maintenance. Only the highest quality…
