Whats the difference between using backticks for the definition of theDisk and $() ?

  1. Identify the drives with the lsblk command.
  2. Run sudo mount <path/to/drive> <mount-point> Where path/to/drive is most likely /dev/something and mount-point is any directory you want but id recommend creating it in your home folder. Don't include the angle brackets. You have to create the directory before you can mount the drive there.

If you don't want to do this every time you reboot, youll have to edit fstab like someone else said. Doing this a couple times will help you understand what fstab is actually doing.

I learned something very valuable relatively early in learning how to program: sometimes, if you do things you don't understand enough, the understanding will come as a byproduct of just doing the thing.

I had been stuck in a "i must understand the fundamental nature of everything i do before i do it" mindset, so this was quite revelatory to me.

I tend to agree with you. I work in a retail pharmacy and literally have had nightmares about work. Some folks dont know how good they have it. But in their defense satisfaction is an unfortunately ephemeral beast. When i first switched from the floor to pharmacy i was happier than id been in years. I still wouldn't go backwards, but god damn some days i would love a job where i can sit down and the only customer i have to worry about is my boss.

If this ever happens to you again, you can try doing ctrl + alt + < F1 - F12>. That will bring up different screens/terminals and its so baked into linux it might have still worked even in that broken state. Still bonkers the installer didn't accept keyboars info though. Its ironic because so much of my linux experience has been about reducing mouse/touchpad use.

Hacker news isnt an appropriate forum for most questions tho, that one is valid

One of my favorite things about vinyl is having to flip the record over. I think it demands more active and respectful listening.

There are usb turntables that let you rip your vinyl, but theyre usually not the highest quality turn tables. I like vintage tables because it adds to the atmosphere and there were fewer corners cut. You could probably get some separate equipment that would let your turn table talk to your computer.

Do you have to chmod all your scripts when you include the shebang? Or do you have it configured to save with the right permissions?

That was before learned helplessness became a staple of the internet experience, i think a lot fewer reddit users will be motivated to leave compared to the people who left digg for reddit.

Happy to be proven wrong, though.
