  • If you can see how the other machines on the network access the drives, like with net use in the windows command prompt, then you will know the protocol and address and share name to connect to.

    If it’s something like \\computername\a\path\here that’s a windows file share which you can connect to with samba. On modern Linux desktop systems you can sometimes get away with opening a file browser and typing in a location like smb://computername/a/path/here and it may just work

    Keep in mind computername could be an IP address instead, and some file browsers are sneaky about letting you type in a path (nautilus/gnome, which I think is Ctrl+L) if smb://… Doesn’t work smbfs:// may be worth a try









  • I didn’t learn to touch type until I overpaid for a keyboard with blank keycaps. I didn’t make much of an effort other than struggling to type without a way to check what keys I was about to press, but it seems to have mostly worked. As a consequence I never learned dvorak because qwerty was tough enough, maybe next month I’ll switch 😅

    My typing speed feels faster but it’s probably not great for things I don’t normally type, plus I haven’t measured it
