  • I have a service that pings the server:

    cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ping-smb.service
    [Unit]
    Description=Blocks until pinging 192.168.1.10 succeeds
    After=network-online.target
    StartLimitIntervalSec=0
    
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=ping -c1 192.168.1.10
    Restart=on-failure
    RestartSec=1
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    EOF
    
    sudo systemctl enable ping-smb.service
    

    And then I make the fstab entry depend on it:

    x-systemd.requires=ping-smb.service
    












  • That’s no bug, mTLS just isn’t implemented on Firefox (for Android) currently.

    There are 2 proposed solutions on that thread:

    1. It was possible on old versions of FF, but not the current ones. I believe this to be related to the versions prior to the revamp that happened circa 2020. (the author refers to a version that was already “old” by 2022). So it was something supported on OG Firefox, not not on the new (current, by 5 years already) version.
    2. Using the debug menu’s secret settings to enable “Use third party CA certificates”. This is available on current FF, but that’s no mutual TLS. It is about allowing CA certificates that you installed yourself on your device for server TLS auth.



  • Potential bias: I’m a developer at Spotify.

    “Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it.”

    I don’t think the company forces you to do anything. It is their business model, how they can provide copyrighted music to you and have a share of the pie too.

    I’d say the very idea that Spotify is forcing you to pay with time and attention or money so you can have music conveniently streamed to your devices is a testament to the company’s success. It created this business model and fulfilled an apparently basic need to the point you think that charging for it is unfair.

    But “forcing” is too much. You can always buy discs, digital downloads and so.
