People turn fascist when they’re desperate and angry, same as always. So when people experience economic hardship they look for somone to blame, often immigrants. So we call them racists, and I guess that’s true, but it comes from something else; economic inequality.

In Europe we do the same thing, in the French elections the rural population voted overwhelmingly for the fascists - here in brown.

In the German elections, the poorer former East-German provinces also supported the fascist AfD, here shown in the darker colours.

Even in Denmark, where I live, the more right-wing and extremist parties are popular in the southern, western, and northern parst of the country - the poorer rural areas, who’s seen their jobs disappear, their shops close, and their income stall even as the country as a whole gets richer.

So the challenge of liberal democracy is clear; show the population outside the cities that they, too, can get their piece of the pie. If we cannot solve that, then we’ll see more countries turn fascist in the next decade.

I add stuff to FAQs when I am fucking tired of answering the same old dumb questions

Point made :D

I mean, yes. But on the other hand, I’ve removed usb-connected media without using that button thousands of times and never had an issue. I’m obviously not doing it when I am writing to or reading from the medium.

Either way, thanks again for taking the time to respond :)

Sure, I mean I am used to reading (and writing) manuals and documentation, so I usually go that route first when I know where to look. And your answer was helpful. Anyway, what are some authoritative ressources I should consult concerning these fundamental concepts?

cheers!

Don’t do that.

Coming from non-linux, it’s not usually a problem. But now I know better :)

fstab is just a config file so the computer knows what drives and storage volumes its supposed to have when it boots.

You can add and remove drives without ever editing fstab. Plugging something in should give you the option to mount it in your file explorer, and in the same place you should be able to “eject” it before disconnecting the actual cable.

I know that, but this particular drive was meant to be permanently mounted and accessible, which is why I added it to fstab. I am removing it because it’s damaged and i have to replace it with something which isn’t to act as a permanent drive for the server.

Thank you for your help :)

Thanks. I don’t mind reading manuals at all, but is this not a community for asking questions?

It’s mounted to /srv which is not empty, and I can also still browse some of the folders on the removed drive, which is also confusing :) I don’t understand how that’s even possible.

Edit: It does not show up as a drive, but the mount directory is still there with a folder structure and a single file.

Edit2: I deleted the folder which seems to have done the trick. Still confused about how and why it was still accessible…

I figured removing it from fstab was akin to unmounting it.

Well, I just rebooted and it’s still there, which is what is confusing me :) But thanks!

So I should unmount it in other ways too?

Yanked out the cable like a medieval surgeon ;) Anyway, since I removed it from fstab I figured it was unmounted.

You should tell her this, basically, and also you guys can call each other. She’s probably also going to miss you heaps, although she’ll also have a new world to explore.

I did go for that 😁 was a simple checkbox in the router settings.

Thanks - I have an icotera i4850 router which claims to support NAT loopback, but I can’t figure out where to do it and it seems like the manual is gone from the internet :) Might have to ask my internet provider if they have a PDF somewhere.

Edit: D’oh, it’s a checkbox in the port forwarding interface! Thanks a bunch, didn’t know what to look for before your reply :)

Never heard of Immich, but it looks absolutely amazing.
