Hello brother. 🙏 May I talk to you for a minute about our lord and savior Brother Laser Jet Printer.

I was doing that for a while until I came across this. I liked the idea of completely removing Roku better.

The android app blocks unidentified callers and blacklisted numbers. This doesn’t affect calls from spoofed numbers, and I haven’t found the app’s spam detection to be effective enough.

I have a network enabled model from Brother and it’s never once shown up on my pi-hole. I’m a fan for life. Will never buy an HP printer again.

How are you seeing ads at all, then?

For Boeing, James?

No. For me.

Horseboy just sounds wrong tho

Since I don’t know your level of expertise, I’ll go step by step. Forgive me if you already know how to do some of this.

In terminal, type “sudo nano /etc/fstab” (without quotes). This brings up a file where you can add the mount point so it mounts at boot and set options for the mount. Go to the end of the file and enter a line like the following, substituting your info in the appropriate places:

//[static ip for nas]/[top level folder on nas you want to mount] /[mount point in Linux] [file system type for mount] [mount options, nas login credentials, permissions] 0 0

Mine looks like this: //192.168.1.0/Media /mnt/Media cifs _netdev,user=anonymouse,password=*****,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

The “_netdev” option is the one that delays the mount until after your network is up. The “file_mode” & “dir_mode” set the mount permissions. There is info out there showing how to insert a reference to a credentials file instead of placing them in fstab in plain text, but I didn’t bother since I have my computer and user profile pretty well locked down.

To get _netdev to work, I had to enter the following in terminal (without quotes): “sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online”.

I couldn’t find all the sites I visited while setting this up, but here are a few:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/429604/fstab-not-automatically-mounting-smb-storage?rq=1

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Options

Hope this helps!

I’ll look up the exact info when I get home and provide links if I can find them again.

The summary is that I had to add a line to /etc/fstab with the ip and folder route of the nas drive and folder, then the mount point in linux, the file system type for the mount, options that give login creds/group id + establish permissions I want to apply to the mount, and an option that keeps the drive from trying to mount until my network is connected.

Finally, for that last option to work, I had to enable a process that I forget the name of. I think it was in systemd, but I was able to initiate it from the command line.

I finally got my time machine to work!

It’s worse than the mic. They’re taking screenshots and sending them to a server that analyzes the image to determine what you’re watching.

C’mon man. It was right there.

“Please review the attached guide, which can be conveniently found on our website.” This translates to, “Stop wasting my time by asking me basic fucking questions that you could easily find the answers to on your own!”

I guess next you’re gonna tell me that Olive Garden isn’t Italian.
