Had to do a little more Wayland-related setup because our screen
wasn't locking on idle- yeeeeah, turns out we forgot to install
swayidle. Whoops. It works now. Don't you love it when your tech
problems are that simple to solve but really easy to forget to
check for? Problem lies between computer and chair.
Pretty sure we're fixating on Dwarf Fortress. Hey, at least there's
a chance we won't accidentally murder the whole fort this time.
Last time, we almost managed to keep the dwarves alive until a
hostile animal tried to get in via the river. Good news, the animal
didn't last very long. Bad news, the dwarves engaged it while in
the river. Good news, they didn't drown. REALLY bad news, their
blood contaminated the whole river and didn't wash out, and there
weren't any alcohol stores. Everyone drank contaminated water and
things didn't last long from there despite attempts to salvage it.
Fun was had. DF is very much a game of trial and error- mostly
error, but some great stories come out of every failure.
Computer backup went fine until a screenshot somehow borked the
drive. Ran ntfsfix on it and it's fine, no data lost. The
screenshot has been deleted now just to be safe. This is why
you have multiple backups, folks! We have a spare somewhere else
just in case we urgently need our files if our main backup fails,
and we're working on an automated backup system to a raspi
server for security against "whoops, forgot to back that up."
Doing a bit better now. Some light exercise and a shower does
wonders sometimes for mood, you know? That and distraction. The
nightmare from last night is still unpleasant, but it's just
memory now (even if it starts hanging over us a bit when we
think about it- oh well, so be it). And we have a very sweet
dog we can love on. She'd been systemically carrying all of
her toys outside and leaving them there, which is hilarious.
Update: Turns out Waybar has scripts for the things we wanted
to do already. Check your manpages, folks! Kudos to the Waybar
dev(s), the documentation is pretty good. Commas will be the
death of us though. :P
