So just to help a little bit without getting too technical…
df -his your friend to find out which physical drive or partition relates to which directory (called the “mount point”)If you want, you can set up each drive/partition to be mounted a bit Windows-esque.
For example:
- Drive 1, partition 1 will almost certainly be root
/ - But drive 1, partition 2 can be mounted to:
/mnt/d/ - And then drive 1, partition 3 can be mounted to:
/mnt/e/
And so on.
You’ll need to look up
fstabto understand how to do that.I understand it’s tricky to get your head around initially as I felt exactly the same coming from Windows to Linux.
Once you get your head around partitions being able to be mounted anywhere, it actually becomes really handy
- Drive 1, partition 1 will almost certainly be root

new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.
THIS.
I would recommend watching “Louis Theroux - Among the sex offenders” to get a better understanding of the lack of treatment available for people who don’t want to offend but feel compelled. Some of them are crying out for treatment!

Obviously these aren’t hacked as per the article

You get a phone call from someone claiming to be from 23andme but they’re not…
Hi it’s Jim from 23andme. Just going through security with you. You did a test with us on the 5th Dec, your mother is X and your father is Y. Ok that confirms who I am. So as I said it’s Jim and in your results we see you have a genetic condition which means you will have early onset dementia. We offer a preventative treatment. Want to enrol in the trial? It’s $200.
Not the best example I admit but an example of how that data could be misused and you’ve just paid “Jim” $200

In case anyone wondered how to potentially get around this…
- Pay for a server in another country that gives you SSH access
- Create SSH SOCKS tunnel:
ssh -N -D 8008 your-server-ip - Open your browser and set the SOCKS server to
localhost:8008(in Chromium/Firefox you can search for this in Settings)
