Yeah I actually have a backup drive that I just dd to every now and then and resized the partitions on that one with gparted to test the scheme with a 1Gb boot partition. Booted to that drive successfully and resized the partitions with the drive that's normally live, so it's all fixed.

Also lol after all that bs:

code:
du -sh /boot
90M     /boot

I bought an expensive sleep monitoring system because I sleep too late: https://hello.is/

It has a bug where it can't measure my sleep if I sleep past noon.

Currently considering trying to force my phone (which it links to) into thinking it's in a different time zone.

Just did my taxes on this.

In 2015 I made ~800 dollars renting out extra rooms after expenses
In 2016 I ran a loss of ~2000 dollars (though there was a move between houses in the middle there)

This isn't gross expenses, it's net since I can only deduct 80% of them (as I live in one of the five rooms).

The real winner is my landlord who I pay rent to on the house, not me in the middle rerenting furnished rooms.

Already on the diet path, although I do need to time my workouts carefully because when I do them around 11pm or so when I feel most active it can further push back my sleep.

Agile Vector posted:

Booze is a very bad idea if your goal is to have productive sleep rather than quickly make it be tomorrow.

The trick with melatonin and light therapy is it's very easy to get the opposite effect of what you want if you time it wrong: "light during the morning" might be when you're in the night-time phase of your circadian rhythm if you're off by enough, and the result would be to push your sleep even later.

This device is to help me collect data so I can measure the effect of these therapies. Also to be aware of other sleep issues -- for instance it will tell me about noise disturbances at night; I learned that when the sprinklers go off and the water pump outside my window engages it pulls me out of deep sleep but doesn't wake me, and thus I should change the timing on them. That's not a thing I'm likely to have learned without it.

the noise thing is super handy, melatonin and a soundscape worked for me but also because I started using a fitness band that tracked sleep so I could find when I really slept poorly and also wake at a more natural time. normally sounds aren't the interrupter for me, but I can see how that'd be handy to have metrics on

also yeah booze is a real messer for valid sleep, I find I'm stiffer after a few evening drinks and I can tell my sleep tracker registers less consistent restful sleep

After a night of heavy drinking and going to bed at like 2 or 3 am, I only get about 5 hours of lovely sleep before I wake up again.

i got an SSD at work and tried to clean install windows 10. it's now all set up and everything good to go, but the windows installer decided to reuse my old POS spinning drive's boot partition without asking. ok sure, i should have removed the original drive before installing because of course this would happen, but it's too late now.

is there any way to fix this without reinstalling every program again?

what did you do

did you install windows 10 onto the ssd
did you install windows 10 onto the old hard drive
did you not install windows 10 after all

i am guessing they installed win10 on the ssd while still having the old drive hooked up in the computer

source: ive done that too many times myself and as far as i know the only thing you can do is reinstall everything without the other drives in

edit: oh also remember to delete the boot partition off the old drive too once you get it booting off the ssd
