nano /etc/systemd/system/DVR.mount
^O ^X
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart DVR.mount
systemctl start DVR.mount
systemctl start DVR.automount
ls /DVR
journalctl -xe | tail
journalctl -xe | tail -n 50
journalctl -xe | grep "DVR"
systemctl status DVR.automount
systemctl status DVR.mount

Now do that again for 50 edit and test cycles

i am leaving out the part where it takes 45 minutes to understand how the FUCK you're supposed to name a systemd mount file, not because it's that complex, but because after the first six attempts when you finally look up the stackexchange post which explains it (and has to cite FOUR DIFFERENT UNRELATED MAN PAGES TO ACHIEVE THAT) you forget to do daemon-reload one time so you spend an extra half hour trying to figure out what you got wrong when you didn't FUCKING get anything wrong. systemd is like a merry go round except you stay in place and the disc spins below you and every two feet is a sidewalk crack that you can't avoid tripping on

And the best part is if you want to completely avoid systemd your realistic options are... a handful of teeny tiny distros, or some of the most notorious hands on distros around. Or Unix.

As someone who is in the process of moving back to a systemd distro because it's just inevitable. And it turns out someone heavily involved with the distro I picked is a massive chud

yeah i mean "you can't fight city hall." linux is mainstream at this point and i'm a mainstream user so i'm getting fucked just like android and windows users when their vendor decides to ruin a feature. it's no different and the people swimming upstream against it now are wasting their one life just as much as the people dailying linux in 2000 and getting mad because they can't play MP3s (because their distro maintainers talked themselves into enforcing a version of IP law that nobody else actually takes nearly as seriously as they do, and which wouldn't prevent them from getting sued anyway since they still link to the fucking repo with the 'illicit' code and no court would be fooled by that for a second)

Man I haven’t run a Linux system in about a decade now and even then it was an old reluctantly-updated Gentoo system so I don’t have any experience with systemd or even fully understand what it is but I’ve never heard anything nice about it and it’s genuinely making me more reluctant to get back into Linux (beyond the superficial MinGW/WSL stuff I use regularly)

the universal linux person response is "you just don't like it because you're used to init and you don't like change!!!!" and i'm like... buddy, init went away in like 2006. i have been putting up with systemd for nearly 20 years and i barely knew how to use init. i hate systemd because it feels like chewing on tinfoil and that's the only excuse i need

I still don’t know why the help text tells you to do to run journalctl -xe instead of “keep a terminal open with journalctl -f -u <unit name you’re trying to debug>” which is way more useful
