Theming Storybook

I have been building several react components as libraries to use as part of a bigger idea.

While writing up documentation I realised the examples I provided were Stories I had created for Storybook to test the look of the components.

The storybook MDX documentation seems to provide a nice way to document your stories.

But I am hitting an issue, ideally I would like the Storybook Sidebar/view to be embedded into my page layout (for consistency) or failing that themed to use the same colours/icons/etc..

The documentation seems out of date with Storybook 8 using a different structure and while I have tried to populate a ThemeVar object it seems several of the fields need specific unspecified input.

Has anyone done anything like this before and how well did it work for you?

CD Copy Protection & WINE

Recently I have been trying to play my old games (Worms, Sims, Black & White, etc..) on my Steam Deck.

I created an ISO of the various CD's via the dd command, but I have noticed Crossover doesn't support ISO. I needed to mount the ISO to a location.

This worked to install the game but fails copy protection. If I connect a USB DVD drive it detects the disc and works but this isn't particularly helpful.

Does anyone know what I should be setting or doing so the game sees the ISO or ISO mount as the disc?

A lot of the games I want to play simply don't have a steam version to buy

Lets talk about Grian..

I recently started watching Grian's hermit craft season playlists and watching them back to back, it feels like Grian is burning himself out as he repeats the same mistake.

TLDR; he keeps getting stuck planning huge mega builds that require so much grinding he gets stuck in procrastination cycles. He needs to break things down into small pieces (a building, tunnel, etc..) and learn to iterate towards a vision.

In each season he will quickly jump to mega scale for any project (the Tower, The Mansion, The Ally & The Entity). The issue with each project is any significant progress requires a huge amount of grinding and you see his avoidance of the main base gets worse with each season.

We do see large scale projects and the Entity and Barge actually shows the problem.

The barge started small and iteratively enlarged as the number of items increased, he then created 'big plans' schemed to get extra space and never fulfilled them. The next iteration became too much of a grind and he was clearly working hard to keep the current shop stocked.

Simialy the Entity went through quick iterations a rock, a Rock with a tree, a wheel, then it walked and he talks of his big plans at the end of the episode but he clearly started avoiding the entity because the plans became too much of a grind.

I thought he had gotten it at the end of Season 9, as he moved towards so many 'small' projects which results in a huge affect in the area.

In Season 10 he talks about taking it slow, but I really don't think he understands.

The dock was a perfect example, he was doing a lot of fishing and building a hut around the spot was a great idea and I found really interesting to watching. Building a secret vault would have been a great episode, similarly the Salmon tunnel was fantastic. Building each aspect for an episode would have been taking it slow.

You can see he is already avoiding his 'mega' build and yet again the opportunity to break stuff down was there. The bone meal farm being built and boxed in would have been a great episode, but you already know he has built a stucture and its going to hang around for months as he gets twisted up trying to design/plan a huge series of fronts and increasingly wants to avoid

How are you making services remotely accessible?

I need help figuring out where I am going wrong or being an idiot, if people could point out where...

I have a server running Debian 12 and various docker images (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc...) controlled by portainer.

A consumer router assigns static Ip addresses by MAC address. The router lets me define the IP address of a primary/secondary DNS. The router registers itself with DynDNS.

I want to make this remotely accessible.

From what I have read I need to setup a reverse proxy, I have tried to follow various guides to give my server a cert for the reverse proxy but it always fails.

I figure the server needs the dyndns address to point at it but I the scripts pick up the internal IP.

How are people solving this?

Star Trek Lower Decks S4?

I have been waiting on Star Trek Lower Decks Season 4 to be released on Blu Ray for months, does anyone know where I can buy it?

Amazon listed it last year and it turns out that was in error and searching lists the release as April 16th and yet I can't find it in any where.

I am in the UK

Bootstrap Themed Maven Site

I find Maven sites look incredibly dated and I couldn't find a nice way to integrate other auto documentation tools such as MKDocs.

So I've written a series of Apache Velocity templates which integrate Bootstrap, I've tried to respect Bootstrap components and the layout/structure of Apache projects (you'll find various configurations under 'layouts').

You can apply various bootstrap themes to it to improve it dramatically.
