Small CSS rant + Asking for advice
  • 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

  • Advice for a newbie - Multiple drives setup
  • 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.

  • Turns out, I wanted a tiled window manager all along
  • 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.

  • KVM or USB switch reccomendation
  • If you can somehow manage to install software on your work laptop then I highly recommend Synergy. It is by far a better solution than a KVM and you could keep the keyboard and mouse plugged into your PC so no effect on gaming.

  • Testing packaging which targets multiple distributions?
  • 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.
