Va el feedback de esta encuesta! Gracias a todos por participar!! 🙌La respuesta correcta era: /media
En la mayoría de las distros el directorio por defecto para montar dispositivos extraibles es /media, aunque en muchas distros modernas se usa /run/media (no era una opción en la encuesta para no complicarla mucho).
El mountpoint predeterminado depende de varios factores, entre ellos:
* La versión de udisks que estemos usando: #udisks suele montar en /media, #udisks2 en /run/media).

New Linux udisks flaw lets attackers get root on major Linux distros

I have always had the feeling that PAM is not being looked at as closely as it should be, as well as other parts of Linux.
Also people "Linux Hardening" everyone should be doing it, as it can sometimes help.

Released a new version of my cli disk mounter, om.
Nothing big, mostly I've been polishing the code and doing small incremental improvements:
Ui:
- disallow empty passphrase (until we figure out keyfiles at least)
- display errors in red
- eliminate unnecessary linebreaks on unmounted filesystemsRefactorings:
- drop anyhow, define explicit errors with thiserror
- handle and report most errors inside ui
- reimplement `um` alias by preprocessing argv; this will allow flags that require or conflict with `-u` in the futurePackaging:
- nixpkgs: track nixos-24.11 by default -
Yay, I just published a new opensource project! It is a small program I wrote to solve an inconvenience I experienced with my computer use:
Mounting & unmounting removable devices from command line (on Linux).
Whatever DE I use, I tend to work mostly with the keyboard. So I wanted a short command that would do this for me with as little typing and interaction as possible.
That includes mounting / unmounting at the right place, unlocking / locking encrypted volumes, as well as doing anything necessary to safely remove the device (powering off when supported, locking encrypted volumes after unmount, unmounting other partitions on the same device if present, etc).
It uses UDisks as its backend (but multiple backends can be implemented if desired).
Before I wrote this tool, I was using `bashmount`, which provided inspiration, but I wanted something a bit more ergonomic for my day to day use.
Some of you may have voted in a poll I did a long time ago for choosing its name😉
Hence:
https://codeberg.org/undltd/om
I decided to release it early, as soon as I started using it myself and felt it does the job. If circumstances permit, I'll be able to add niceties and further smooth out the UX, maybe even add features (see the Roadmap for ideas I have at the moment), but I hope it won't become "big and professional" 😉 Maybe I can port it to *BSD at some point🤔
Also, this is my first "real" program in Rust.
Enjoy!
(P.S. This program was written during and despite russian war.)

I've finally released a project I've been working on for the last few months, an unofficial #Rust port of the #udisks client library, which helps to access and manipulate storage devices.
Since there is already an (unmaintained) udisks crate, it has been released as udisks2 (https://crates.io/crates/udisks2). -
I have a removable HDD that was encrypted using #LUKS.
Whenever I attach it to my Linux desktop it gets decrypted after I enter the password.
I'm using #udisks for disk management.
After decryption it gets mapped to `/run/media/<username>/<some-uuid>`.However this UUID changes by one digit every time I attach and decrypt the disk.
Can someone tell me why this happens and how to assign a fixed mount point?
