Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Ah. That’s right. You need to use the uid as the network share doesn’t have permissions the way a local partition would. Normally it’s unneeded, as the drive, folder and file permissions are set on the drive, and those are the ones that matter once it is mounted.

    Note that the uid only sets access permissions. It does not actually mount the share as you, so you’ll still need to be root to unmount it, unless you change user to users.








  • I’ve not really seen anything abut Charlie that makes me dislike the guy.

    Obviously he’s achieved great success, and is financially well off. From what I can tell, he tries to do some good from that position, if with a somewhat naïve approach.

    In what I’ve seen, he can be a little mean-spirited, but he does it with a jokey tone I forgive a lot more easily than the type of shit-talk you see from people like PirateSoftware.

    Thor gets really ugly with words when the describes what he thinks of SKG.


  • The option you’re looking for is users, not user.

    user makes it so that any user can mount, but only the same user can unmount. Meaning, since root is mounting it on boot, root has to be the one to unmount it, too.

    users allows any user to mount, and any user to unmount.

    Not sure what’s on going with Pika. Who mounts the share shouldn’t matter, as the folder permissions should be the same regardless.

    Do you have a uid option set?


  • Every bit counts.

    But it’s difficult to attribute it to any one shoutout.

    MoistCritical was the first who got serious traction, and he did his video because he saw Ross’s update video.

    The rocketing rate of new signature had a bit of lagtime after that. I’ve not seen any one shoutout exceed the numbers on Charlies video, so I think it’s word-of-mouth achieving critical mass.

    That makes sense, because friends telling friends is a process that takes a few days, so I think the average people who saw that video by Charlie are the real spark that’re now growing into a fire by telling their friends. Who then tell their friends.

    I think this time the initiative broke out of the anglosphere in a way it never did at the start, as I’ve seen it discussed by finnish-speaking acquaintances, and even in the finnish media.
