Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection by Brandon Sanderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first book I started in 2019! I started reading it yesterday while working on photos (sometimes writing metadata to the files takes a little bit so I wanted to have some reading to do while waiting). That evolved into me just reading and forgetting about my photos and, therefore, finishing in one day. (Well, I had read a lot of the novellas earlier because I’d received them separately via the Sanderson humble bundle) Why? So many reasons.

Three years ago I wrote a post (along with a Youtube video) about how to set up a KVM VM with Dual Monitors (or even triple monitors). Since then there’s been a bit of a change. I loaded up remote viewer and, for some reason, I couldn’t add more monitors to my Linux KVM VM. Turns out what you have to do is look at the Video (QXL) section in virt-manager. Look at how many “heads” it has listed. For example:

What is Obscenity?: The Story of a Good For Nothing Artist and her Pussy by Rokudenashiko

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I first heard about Ms. Rokudenashiko on the Daily Show years ago. A couple years ago I remembered her story and added the book to my wishlist. In 2018 I got it for Christmas. I had no idea the book was a manga, I thought it was just a regular prose book. It works so well as a manga, I’m glad the story was told that way.

This used to look pretty regular. Just two parallel lines with the devel branch connecting into the master branch here and there. But then I merged master into devel because I added issue templates on the github website directly into master. Things got….interesting….

Here’s the before (but a few weeks ago):

Here’s what it looks like now:

The podman saga continues. The podman equivalent of a docker-compose.yml can be created from a pod with the following command:

podman generate kube (name of pod) > (filename).yaml

So I did that with the pod that I’d created with an SELinux context. Now it was time to try it on another Fedora 31 VM to see if it would work. To be on the safe side, I started off creating the phpIPAM folder, chowning it to nobody and chmoding it to 777.

Last time I messed around with Podman, I finally got things working and had what I think was a pretty good understanding of how to go forward. But in order to get things working, I’d had to turn off SELinux. Now it was time to see what I had to do to make Podman work with SELinux. I’ve got some ideas based on some Googling and might also need to try a program called udica to create the right contexts.

When I went to visit my grandfather in September, he brought out some Havana Club Rum that someone had brought from Cuba.

As best as I can understand things, after the communists took over and nationalized Havana Club, the original creator-owner sold the recipe to the Bacardi family, who’d fled to Puerto Rico.

I’m not a huge drinker, but I can appreciate a good spirit. I did not enjoy drinking this.

The fourth game we worked on was another game that I spent a lot of my childhood playing. We made a Galaxian/Galaga clone:

Laser Defender - a Galaga Galaxian clone

My mom’s youngest brother had a Nintendo and lots of arcade ports. When I was young he lived in the condo above my grandmother’s condo and whenever we’d go visit her, I’d ask if I could visit him so we could play games. The game I loved playing the most there was Galaga because of the frantic pace.
