I’ve been posting about it periodically.

I’m pushing the “buy Canadian” angle by promoting Fedecan, the non-profit running Lemmy.ca and now Pixelfed.ca.

Also, reminding people that American companies are making money off your data, and these servers are Canadian owned social media, in a way.

I still have no followers on Pixelfed, but 🤷‍♂️

From what I understand this is a problem with FAT32 formatted drives specifically since it doesn’t use the Linux file system. Reformatting is not an option at the moment.

What this does is give my user ownership when you plug in a usb device, which allows rw.

I have it set up to mount on startup, but it mounts to root ownership. Now, I remount it and the owner becomes my user.

I honestly can’t remember what I did to make it happen, but it always mounts to /mnt/drivename

I’m using this for a Jellyfin server. Before I added this rule, I couldn’t add folders past the drive itself as a library, so I see this as progress. I just want to edit meta data now.

Edit: I do have it in my fstab file listed by device ID with these settings:

LABEL=drivename /mnt/drivename/ auto rw,user,exec,nofail,x-gvfs-show,dev,auto 0 0

Ahhh gotcha! You should document and post the process. I’d love to see it!

Question: How do you run this without destroying your walls? I’m not planning on doing it, but I have an Ethernet connection that my landlord put in when he redid the basement, but I can’t picture how it would be done otherwise.

Also, the great (auto?)biography White Line Fever comes up.
