Email apl-manchaca-bw@printspots.com (it says “email or attachment”, so not sure how it figures out what exactly to print this way
Go to the location and use the yellow computer to release the print jobs (log in with the email address you provided on the Web form and/or that you sent the email from). They cost $0.20/page, payable in cash (the machine won't take bills over $5, you'll have to pay at the desk). Bring quarters, the machine takes (and gives) change.
The full list of supported file formats is https://www.printeron.com/documents/documentation/PrinterOnSupportedFileFormats.pdf but the highlights are:
Go in and sign in on a computer with your library card number or get a guest login ID from the desk (if you don't need a guest ID, there's no need to check in; just look for a computer that says it's available). Print whatever you need and then once you're all done you go to the yellow computer, log in with the same ID (library card or guest ID) to release the jobs to the printer.
Available software (not a full list, just what I remember):
Epson Expression Photo XP-850

The canopy thing is probably easier to transport and set up, but the advantage of this is you can just toss the shower curtain in the washing machine for cleanup.
Lions are growing like yellow roses on the wind
and we turn gracefully in the medieval garden
of their roaring blossoms.
Oh, I want to turn.
Oh, I am turning.
Oh, I have turned.
Thank you.
Poem by Richard Brautigan, recording on YouTube from "The Digital Domain: A Demonstration"

It's best to use gdisk instead of parted to create the partition(s), since parted doesn't have the logic to create a filesystem with an optimal performance offset. It's strange, because it will complain if the position isn't optimal, but it won't tell you what the optimal value should be.
badblocks -v -w -p 2 -s -t random -b 4096 -o mynewhd.badblocks /dev/sdb1
| Option/argument | Notes |
|---|---|
| -v | Print verbose info to stderr |
| -w | Enable write-mode testing |
| -p 2 | Require no new bad blocks for 2 passes |
| -s | Show progress (of current pass) |
| -t random | Test pattern: random |
| -b 4096 | Block size: 4096 |
| -o mynewhd.badblocks | Write bad block data to file (instead of stdout) for future use by fsck/mkfs |
From what I understand from talking to storage experts, it's highly likely that a hard drive that's going to have bad blocks soon, will have them right out of the gate. In other words, if you do a full test of the disk when you receive it and it comes out OK, you can be relatively assured that it won't go out “early” (e.g. before what you'd normally expect from lifetime wear and tear).
It's important to get the block size right, so that any bad blocks that badblocks records will line up with the blocks in the filesystem you create later. The default block size mkfs will use when creating ext4 filesystems is 4096, but if you're going to create a filesystem with a different block size then specify that size instead. Obviously, if you already have an existing filesystem on the partition, you're going to want to use a filesystem tool to do a non-destructive write test (such as e2fsck -cc).
Here are some example runtimes for the bad block checks, since predicting how long it'll take is so impractical. When comparing times, remember to factor in the pass count (-p on the badblocks command line).

They've got to go, man; at least as a configurable option. I've got no problems with a little local color for casual play, but this stuff has no business in a serious competitive game with the kind of skill margins CS:GO has.
