  • Mounting locations are a convention, not a standard, mount whatever you like wherever you like. In your case, I’d mount it under /mnt/ntfs, /mnt/windows if it a windows main partition you want visible, or by drive letter if it’s a secondary drive on a dual-boot system.

    Or however you want. I would keep it under /mnt, but you don’t have to.

    Do maybe sure you have user permissions set up properly if this is a multiuser machine though

    Edit: also I would interpret

    If /mnt is for temporary

    ‘temporary’ as in ‘may become unmounted without seriously fucking the system’

    / and /home aren’t temporary. Everywhere else is







  • I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

    Ah, the good old reverse polarity bootleg ground.

    Fun fact: RPBG is the one fault that those plug-in outlet testers can’t recognize

    Edit: Wait, no, that would be hot bootleg ground, they should catch that. RPBG has the hot and neutral switched, and also a bootleg ground to the neutral that’s actually hot







  • The comment you’re replying to is deleted, but from your comment I assume it was about hydrogen as fuel?

    Hydrogen fueled vehicles are generally electric, using a hydrogen fuel cell, rather than being internal combustion using a hydrogen engine. Compared to battery electric, hydrogen has the benefit of fast refueling and higher energy density, but has the drawback of difficult storage and lack of refuelling infrastructure.

    As a vehicle fuel, I think hydrogen does have a future, but only in commercial/industrial, particularly shipping. Semis already have predictable routes and stops/depots, and building hydrogen refuelling stations into those depots wouldn’t be too complicated.

    Hydrogen passenger vehicles, with gas stations being replaced with hydrogen stations, will never happen.
