Previously THPS 1 Mall Gaps Next THPS 1 Downtown Gaps

Trailmakers 2.0 Pioneers was released today as an update to trailmakers. It’s a brand new campaign mode that requires you to mine resources to get materials to craft your vehicles rather than salvage parts like you so in the Stranded Campaign. There also seems to be a more linear play through of the story with the frogitts, unlike stranded where it let you do anything completely open world, as long as you had the equipment to go there.

Out of the gate Wyatt came in with four frogitts to rescue, I don’t know how he found them all, I’ve only been able to find the first one that the master gives you to bring home as a tutorial.

After Wyatt left for bed I played a little more and beat the first of what felt like a boss level enemy, he had much different attacks. I did not think I would make it as I got hit hard from his first explosion attack before I realized what it did.

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all School Gaps in THPS1. This is a super fun level, I’ll have to admit that I had to look up at least a quarter of them, and could not find them myself, mostly due to the naming, all of the rail tricks were actually ledges and I was looking for big rails. None of the warehouse gaps were manuals so I had no idea that the downhill and accross the gym would be manual tricks.

Previously THPS 1 Warehouse Gaps next

This is one of the most memorable levels for me in THPS1 from when I had originally played it. Surprisingly there aren’t as many gaps in it as I thought there would be, there are definitely a lot that you can make up on your own. Anyways here’s my playthrough of all the mall gaps in THPS1 on my way to gap master.

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all Warehouse Gaps in THPS1. This is this classic warehouse level that everyone thinks of when THPS is mentioned. Such a good level, compact, easy to play, with some fun gaps that might take a few tries to hit.

Next up THPS 1 School Gaps

This post is still WIP. …..

I’ve been digging through David Bushell’s blog over the past day, he has some really good ideas about blogging and webdev. One really interesting post I came accross is url-fragment-text-directives. I’ve long had id’s linked on my headings, though sometimes broken, or now showing the link, I’ve done my best to include them. Fragmentions extend this to allow any text to be linkable like this.

Here’s the diff, this is it.

local M = {} M.setup = require("waylonwalker.setup") M.settings = require("waylonwalker.settings") + M.lazy = require("waylonwalker.lazy") M.options = require("waylonwalker.options") M.globals = require("waylonwalker.globals") M.keymap = require("waylonwalker.keymap") - M.lazy = require("waylonwalker.lazy") M.autocmds = require("waylonwalker.autocmds") M.util = require("waylonwalker.util") M.plugins = require("waylonwalker.plugins") M.snippets = require("waylonwalker.snippets") return M

The error #

On first install of my dotfiles I’m presenting with this flashbang of an error filling the screen with red background. Its kinda hard to read, I’m not deep into lua and reading their tracebacks. It pops up in this pager that if I scroll too far it quits and the error is gone...

I connected my home network to have 4G bakcup with Google Fi and Netgear LM1200. Goodle Fi offers free data-only sim cards that you can order from their service. It takes a couple of days, and a new sim arrives in the mail free of charge. It does pull data from your account, so if you are not on an unlimited plan be careful of how much you let go through the sim.

I’ve owned this for a few years now, but it’s been disconnected for a good six months or so. I’m not s[e what happened, but it stopped recognizing the old sim card. no need to point out the coffee stains at the end, its definitely not related

Activating the sim asked for a confirmation code shipped with the sim card, then brought me to this page.

This post is a big work in progress, expect it to keep getting better.

Another hit on 404’s caused by tags, was tag parsing from thoughts into posts, this cause links to the full comma separated list of tags rather than one per tag.

You can see on the website the whole dang set of tags was being treated as a single tag.

...

Wyatt is also documenting his run, while we aren’t playing in the same world we are playing together.

I always select the character Woodie. He comes with an axe called Lucy she has some dark humor (but not too dark), I like her. She also does not wear out so you always have a weapon and way to chop wood with you.

Today I was playing with markdown split panels. I want to be able to compare and constrast occasionually, today the inspiration hit to do this using admonitions.

This is what I am going for, one admonition that is easy to remember, that nests inside of itself , and I can put as much markdown on the inside that I want.

Today in my homelab I wanted to setup a new service that needed a MinIO access key. So I created a new user and a new access key with the MinIO CLI rather than poking through the ui like I have before.

The MinIO CLI has two levels of access, global and user level. Most of the commands in this post will have several ways to do similar tasks that would potentially work. We are going to prefer to use the user level...

I realize that I never did a post on markata 0.8.0, so here it is. 0.8.0 was released on Jan 2, 2024, just over a year ago at this point. This was the release that we got pydantic support, and multi feeds.

Markata is leaning on pydanttic for configuration and Post models. These models are filled with validators such that you can give it an empty markdown post and it will figure out some pretty sane default values for the frontmatter. From there you can progressivly enhance your post with more information like title, date, tags, slug, description.

A side effect of Markata DidYouMean is that we are able to implement some rudimentary search based on slug, title, tags, and description.

Coming in Markata 0.9.1 is far better documentation. i.e. Documentation that actually exists for everything. As part of poking around I realized that I often go to look up the docs for a plugin and forget that the path is /markta/plugins/feeds, sometimes I might try /markata/feeds or /plugins/feeds.py or /feeds or I might even forget the plugin name exactly and try something like feed and get a 404. So I added a didyoumean plugin to markata that takes care of this.

I made a quick recording of this early feature, pay close attention to the url as it...

Here are a list of some cold builds from my site. I’ve ran this site for a long time and would like to have some references to go back to, and wish I had kept a few profiles of cold builds laying around to compare with. The time is now lets keep some cold build links around for reference.

Pesos is the act of Publish Elsewhere Syncicate to Own Site. It is an indieweb concept that I recently started applying to my own site.

here does it skip again

In short it is the concept of pulling data from other sites that you use and republishing it to your own site. This gives a single source of information for you, and protection against sites and apis changing or rug pulling. Other people might have a lot more use cases for this, but I already begin a lot of my data right on my site.

I broke my sick wikilink hover recently in a refactor, today I did some diving in to figure out what happened.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the link is in a list of links, and when the hover image pops up it sits behind all of the other text. The z-index of the list-item is supposed to be raised above the others on hover.

Manually setting z-index to 20 in the inspector I noticed this message from devtools, “The position: static property prevents z-index from having an effect. Try setting position to something other than...
