  • systemd seems to like mounting stuff on /media. However, I would consult the Linux filesystem hierarchy documents around (eg. Wikipedia and then follow the references) for the most compatible place.

    /srv /mnt tend to suggest themselves. /home is for your personal stuff not shared user wide stuff.

    Don’t put stuff in local directories, leave it in a NAS location and mount it where you need it using fstab or auto/mount units and the appropriate filesystem. Maybe I’ve misunderstood something you wrote to think of this last bit.





  • Syncthing is fast. I have an IPv6 setup too which seems to help.

    I have my downloads directory on my desktop linked to a downloads directory on my Android; you can’t link to the real Android downloads directory anymore so I use another.

    When the file is removed from the desktop downloads directory it disappears from mobile.

    I tried using Bluetooth between them but it’s more fiddly than Syncthing with my config. Switch Bluetooth on on desktop, connect to desktop, send file, disconnect, move file. Whereas Syncthing is always on.

    However, before I started using Obsidian notes I used to transfer URLs using Signal’s Note-to-self thing. Signal on both desktop and mobile.

    Obviously, I sync between mobile and desktop Obsidian using Syncthing.
