Thunar file manager has volman. You can use it to manually unmount, including binds, but I'm not sure how to trigger it to know about them automatically. It's an extra step because it has to read the rest of the fstab file to find any dependencies and I don't know why it would do that.
Thanks, I am OK with issuing a command before physically unplugging the device. I was just finding too many uses of the word "mount" because it's a verb, a command and a noun in this situation lol. I added my fstab to the top so you can see that I am actually using a bind mount.
I investigated symlinks as an alternative and for some reason decided against them. One thing I like about bind mounts is that there is always a backup directory in the location, so if the USB isn't plugged in, accidentally saved files don't just fall into the void. But I don't remember if that was the reason.
I could write some kind of script but I thought it would make more sense to see if something had already been developed because usually in Linux, it has been.
What I love is when the thread is concluded by saying the problem was solved by a patch 10 years ago. OP says "just upgraded, it works!" But here I am in the future and the problem is still happening.
After being told (at length) the answer was in the very long complex documentation, I said I had tried to find it but couldn't piece it together. And posted some of the sections I had looked in. Then my interlocutor said there is no reason why I should want to do such a thing.
RTFM of a different software which the software you are actually interacting with employs. (E.g. having problems with an application that downloads stuff, need to read curl docs because thats what it is using under the hood.)
when more and different people get involved for different reasons then they will change things. since a lot of growth has come from nearby gamer communities, they will bring those habits and forms with them.
Thank you! I do not understand this. One way is blue and the other way is green.... I have had to go into another panel where I know how I set something before, and look how the check boxes are there in order to discern the correct way to use them.
The magic of reddit isn't just the structure of the website, it's the fact that there are so many people posting to diverse niche subjects. Although one structural thing lemmy is really lacking is the wiki and post flare components; those help give experts a reason to make effortful contributions as they do not fade into the ether after a few days.
That said, if reddit was new in 2025 or 2020, I don't think it would take off as much. It gained popularity in a previous time of the internet and is now coasting off that.
I used to use typora; it does have a really nice convert web->markdown. I think that it is done by some javascript or something because the other tools that have comparable quality I can think of off the top of my head are obsidian, joplin clipper and a couple of firefox extensions. I agree that in my experience pandoc and a couple other cli tools didn't produce such nice results.
I also think in all those cases the browser is doing some of the work because it renders the page, discards a lot of irrelevant stuff, then you copy/convert just a selection portion of what's visible. Whereas if you, for example, grab a raw html page through curl and send it to pandoc, none of that is done. You probably aren't using Select All when you copy a page to typora, but pandoc would be faced with the entire page. I don't know if there is a way to access the Reader View from the terminal but it would go a distance to cleaning up your pandoc conversion if you could start from there (for those sites on which it's available).
I tried and failed to do the same thing but it's not markdown's fault. No matter how many bells and whistles markdown would get, the issue is in the conversion from html part.
Sorry I was trying to follow your meaning, because the example of absent rich text you gave was underlines. There is already basic text formatting support such as strong, emphasis, headings and links.
You could style any, all or none of those to have underlining. Whatever chosen rendering, they all have meaning independent from the applied style. What you are asking for is to have something that is purely a display style without any structural value. This is not coming to markdown any time soon. Hardly anyone uses underline as its own thing in html anymore, for good reasons.
Native SVG handling would be completely out of scope. The point of markdown is that it is supposed to be understandable in its plain text format. SVG is incompatible with that. The closest thing would be like mermaid charts but I think it's quite a stretch even then.
I think you should just use HTML, it has a much larger array of tools that would suit your needs. Markdown is purposely constrained because it enables much more portability.
I think systemctl might be a way because I have read that things are dependent on other things but beyond that I don't know how to organize it.

I updated the OP to show my fstab

I use xfce4 on endeavor. How would you configure it in KDE?
That's nice. But Borg isn't rsync and can't replace it. Rsync is a thousand times more versatile. Not to mention usable.
How many Lemmy users are on chrome.
Any admins have stats?
People use the tools they have to get their tasks done. Not everyone wants to have the same weird hobbies we do.

"Please mark your thread as SOLVED."
I have found my own posts this way from 2 or 3 years prior. Makes me wonder if I am getting anywhere.

opera
lots of people know about firefox, they would just never use it.
Like everything else Syncthing, it works well when it is working well.
Far from foolproof.
Is that a mock up you made or something that exists?

Maybe this article will help to further explain.
