Howdy All! I recently got a bitchin' new SSD, a Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB and I am struggle bussing trying to make it my new boot drive on my computer while keeping all of my programs and settings and things just the way I like them. Specs are I7 13700K cpu and an RTX 4070 gpu plugged into an MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Wifi mobo all working harmoniously to run Opensuse Tumbleweed.

Things I have done so far:

1. Googled that shit, didn't find much that helped me unfortunately. Found some forum where a guy was trying to move over to an SSD from a HDD and then remove the HDD, whereas I just want to change the boot drive to SSD and continue using both drives in the same rig. Someone else in that thread recommended clonezilla but then further down I read something about UUIDs(?) being copied as well and being unable to use both drives in the same computer or it can cause issues and corrupt data. That scared me off that.

2. Tried using the Yast Partitioner tool but the scary warning box it makes you click through and the general lack of any clue what I'm doing scared me off that.

3. Decided to just fresh install Opensuse Tumbleweed onto SSD with usb and then mount the HDD so that I can just copy everything over that way. Or so I thought. First I ran into the issue of the /home located in HDD not being viewable by my user on the SSD, I guess. Fixed that by unmounting the drive and remounting it with the following appended to the end of the mount command '-o subvol=/' , I got that from google as well. Now I'm able to view things in /home on HDD from the user on SSD and I've even copied some things over. However I'm unable to access the .snapshots folder in the root directory of HDD which I intended to copy over the latest snapshot and use it on the SSD install to bring all of my non /home stuff over.

So I'm kinda stuck in the middle of transferring over now. I have an inclination toward being lazy so I don't really want to spend time installing all of the flatpaks and configuring the OS again if I don't have to. Mostly because I've already had one false start with Linux and went ahead and started fresh so this would be the third time having to set everything up again from scratch. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

SOLVED If any lost souls find themselves here in a similar situation let it be known that the file that worked for me was creating a file at '%h/.config/systemd/user/google-drive-ocamlfuse.service' with the following content:

[Unit]
Description=FUSE filesystem over Google Drive
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=google-drive-ocamlfuse %h/googledrive
ExecStop=fusemount -u %h/googledrive
Restart=always
RestartSec=300
Type=forking

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Howdy, I have very recently installed Opensuse Tumbleweed alongside Windows 10 (On a seperate drive) and am trying to get things setup to where I can fully transition to linux. One of the first things I have hit a wall on is getting a file to execute on boot using systemd.

I am trying to use this package to be able to access my google drive from Dolphin. And so far it works okay. Except that it doesn't survive a reboot. I have to run the command:

google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/googledrive

after each reboot in order for the google drive directories to be accessible. So I googled how to make that happen automagically on boot and found this guide that helped me get a startup script going.

I created /usr/local/bin/ocamlfuseStartup.sh as a file that contains the command from before:

google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/googledrive

and verified that it works as intended when I enter ./ocamlfuseStartup.sh from that directory.

I then created another file at /usr/lib/systemd/system/startup.service that contains the following:

[Unit]
Description=Startup Script

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/ocamlfuseStartup.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I have no idea what the /bin/bash portion is for because I found it from a googling but without it I get the following error:

startup.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC

However with it I get this error:

startup.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT

which I take to mean that there is something wrong with my ocamlfuseStartup.sh file maybe? But since it works when I manually execute the file I'm kind of at a loss.

I found this thread where it seemed like someone else was having a similar issue but I didn't really grok what they were talking about.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

High, how are you?

Left is Wenge with some yellow species of wood from Asia(I think?) idk I found it in the splinebrary (Which is just a bucket in my shop right now, but one day it will be something beautiful too).

Right is walnut and purple heart with a strip of either Padauk or bloodwood for shits and gigs.

Left is my favorite. I got more and more excited to turn it as I glued up the blank like 3 or 4 times.

I'm a dumbass and sawed into my workbench.

ETA: Threw a maple spline into it to commemorate the occasion.

I should have built this thing from the word go. I ran this printer for almost a year on my desk right next to my computer. But it was loud and smelly and the high traffic area played havoc on print quality and caused a lot of warping.

Now that it's tucked away in a back room suspended in a corner by French cleats and sitting directly on top of dense foam and a big ass paver it is merely "audible" but certainly ignorable. There's also no more headaches from the smell, and my print quality has never been better.

Do yourself and your printer a favor and get an enclosure sorted out asap.

I've encountered a small issue with Jerboa that I wanted to see if other people were experiencing. And or if there was a fix for this issue.

Potential Abomination Vault Spoilers Below

My group primarily plays homebrewed DnD 5e campaigns but we have enjoyed playing the beginner box so much that we have decided to play another Paizo adventure using Foundry VTT. So we have chosen Abomination Vaults which I will be GMing. I figured I would make posts about our shenanigans in the Vaults both as a way to provide some content to this community and to encourage me to take detailed (read: useful) notes to document our misadventures. Our group has 3 primary GMs that trade off each week, GMing our respective campaigns and sometimes special 2 or 3 shots ( We are running a 5e converted Tomb of Horrors module in a couple weeks for our most Masochistic DMs birthday, which should be... Fun?). Which is to say that updates on our shenanigans will be few and far between.

All that said Id like to introduce y'all to the cats I'll be wrangling. Hopefully their characters can serve as inspiration and/or be good for a laugh.

Meet the Chucklefucks

The Enigmatic Dave, Human Psychic

Dave is a down on his luck middle aged man. Who wears a greasy Cheeto stained robe. He has always peddled as a psychic giving sham tarot readings for little money. He has never really felt a purpose in life and as such has retreated into himself and fell into the bottle. Recently his wife, Susan, and “their” 2 kids left. She found another man who is 1000x’s better than Dave. I mean. He’s very rich and lives in Absalom if you’re into that kind of thing. He’s into real estate and has a ton of time to take Daves family on vacation. One time they took a vacation to Otari. Dave spotted them traipsing through the street in their fancy clothes. Susan still wanted him though. Dave could tell. Through her leaving Dave’s psyche was irreparably fractured however. He found latent abilities within himself. He rebranded, The Enigmatic Dave, and started giving true readings in Otari's local market. He’s made a bit of a name for himself locally. Dave hasn’t fixed any of his habits though. He instead hired a “manager” to keep him in line so he is sober and coherent enough to perform at his shows and readings. One day he will be known the world around. One day Susan will take him back.

Stove, Lizardfolk Beastkin (Were-goat) Kineticist

Stove grew up as a feral were-goat child in the Otari Hinterlands with nothing but a small scrap of flesh (birth certificate?) with the name “Steve” poorly tattooed on it, so poorly in fact that when Stove had someone literate read it to him for the first time they misread it as Stove. Stove has been curious about proper living for a while now though and has lurked on the outskirts of the town creeping and learning. One day he found Dave and started going to his shows. Finally started talking to him and learned that Susan had left Dave and now he was going to have to live with his mom again. Stove excitedly jumped at the opportunity and said he'd live with Dave and be his manager! Dave, desperate to not live with his bitchy mother again, begrudgingly accepted. Now Stove has a room at the very back of Dave's place that's very poorly lit, smells terrible, and has bones of small animals littered about the place. More like a barn at this point than a guest room. It goes fairly well with the rest of the house which has takeout boxes and empty liquor boxes littered everywhere. Dave never visits Stove in his room... he always just waits for him to come out if he needs something.

GM note: Without any prompting from me, The Enigmatic Dave (T.E.D. as we now call him in the discord) took the Market Runner background and decided to tie his backstory in with Stove who is a weird looking lizard goat dude who manipulates elements. Keeleno Lathenar is going to be incredibly distrustful of Stove since he is a druid adjacent animal person. So naturally I decided that Keeleno will be T.E.D.’s landlord of a small flat adjacent to the Otari Market and I'm going to let them decide if they try to hide the fact that Stove lives there or not. Shenanigans will surely ensure.

Preparing for the Adventure

Ive decided to add several elements from the AV expanded document, including: Starting the campaign at level 2 with a festival celebrating killing the dragon from the beginner box, The Scribbles, Rajani’s daughter, as well as the ritual to release the original Roseguard heros from the gem lenses. But most of these things will come later. Right now I am trying to decide how best to balance encounters for a party of 6 experienced and creative ttrpgers. Right now ive decided to use the Elite versiom for encounters against mostly one creature and just increasing mobs by about 50%. But I would love any advice in this regard!

Thin pieces of white limba and purple heart laminated to a piece of walnut and then hand routed with a v groove bit. Put a chamfer on all the edges to give it a purple heart border and then I think I finished this one with Polycrylic. Pounded a v tooth wall hanger into the back and called it good.

My second time building Michael Alm's Picture Frame Jig. The old one had quite a few issues. Primarily that I used a piece of pine for the runner that started out loose and has progressed to sloppy and almost ruined my last frame with gappy miters. Used maple this time and probably got to snug of a fit to be honest, but I also added a countersunk screw and washer to prevent the sled from tipping when it's pulled back. Tested it out making a test frame from some leftover frame stock, oak sandwiching padauk.
