  • I’m using the EasySSHFS package from F-Droid. Similar to mounting on Linux, you must create a folder as the mount point. For example, on my phone I first manually made the folder called /storage/self/primary/mnt in a local root terminal in connectbot (create a connection, protocol local, type in “su” to become root, grant access when prompted, then type “mkdir /storage/self/primary/mnt” to create the directory)

    In the EasySSHFS new connection setup, i put that path in the seventh field on the form. In the sixth field is the path on the remote server that you wish to mount, for example /home/khorak

    In the other fields give the username and password (or key file)

    The last field contains the mount options, I did not need to change them but you can if needed.

    EasySSHFS needs to be allowed root access.

    Once you mount, the folder created previously at /storage/self/primary/mnt will contain the contents of the remote server. In my case, using this path makes it appear like it is on the sdcard in android. I can watch videos using VLC or listen to mp3 songs etc as if they are local on my phone.


  • Rooted yes, custom rom no (pixel 7). But on previous phones, custom rom once the manufacturers stops providing updates. Using Magisk, all my banking, Netflix, McDonald’s, etc still works because I have it hidden from those apps. Root apps I use are things like adaway, wireguard module (not using android vpn), sshfs, 3c toolbox, tasker. And generally having root shell access to do whatever I want to do.





  • I have used Linux as my main for 20 years, but I have a dedicated windows computer for games (hooked to my TV in the living room). A lot of my steam games work in Linux nowadays, but the windows computer just works without fuss. I use it ONLY for games and turn it off when I’m not playing anything.

    Ironically some older games (older win95/98/XP era games) work better in Linux under wine or emulation…

    I have also used a windows vm with gpu pass-through to play games on my Linux machine, though I’m sure a lot of your anti cheat would probably not allow that. I don’t bother with that anymore since so many games work in Linux with proton.

    For non-gaming use I feel that 99% of dual boot scenarios should probably just be virtual machines instead. I have a windows VM I fire up for proprietary software or work related stuff when necessary.



  • SSHFS is shipped by all major Linux distributions and has been in production use across a wide range of systems for many years. However, at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and there are a number of known issues (see the bugtracker).

    The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues.

    When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.




  • It’s a Japanese game compatible with the Japanese Master System or Mark III, which uses a different sized cartridge than the overseas SMS. The Japanese Sega SG-1000 used this same size cartridge, and the Japanese SMS/MKIII were backwards compatible with them.

    The Samsung Gam-Boy (South Korean version of the Master System) also used the Japanese-style cartridges.

    In Japan, they used the “Gold Cartridge” branding for first-party releases and “Silver Cartridge” for third-party releases.
