got it, also I was overthinking it bit too much. I simply have to enable sharing

Bookmarking this location in file manager also causes problem.

I’m not mounting home directory itself but my samba mount point directory was inside home directory. For e.g. /home/user/share1

Is there an explanation somewhere about how to do this? I was thinking I needed uPnP server on HTPC but after reading some more realized that’s probably not the thing. Then I found VLC should be able to do it (https://www.baeldung.com/linux/upnp-dlna-clients)

we just select Universal Plug’n’Play from theLocal Network category on the left.

but after that it doesn’t just show up under device where I can cast

I think gmediarenderer is what I’m looking for

Oh wow, I just kept thinking renderer somehow opens ports for accepting streams. Let me revisit it then.

I currently have systemd solution but it only manages to mount when needed.

just tried Dolphin (KDE file manager) - same experience. Going to experiment with autofs next

It was through fstab until recently. About 2 weeks back I moved to mount them on demand (systemd, will confirm exact method when I’m in front of computer) however this still doesn’t address unmount part when I switch network.

Not really tied to gnome, it’s just something I’m using. Would KDE work better ?

Thanks will have a look at autofs

I want to recommend pop OS but it would be wise to switch to it after there is 24.04 (or later release)

In my personal experience pop os has been absolute rock solid especially with flatpaks However latest stable is quite old (they are working on new desktop environment before upgrade).

Headscale server on cheap vps with tailscale clients.

Delta icons on f droid (almost certainly) https://f-droid.org/packages/website.leifs.delta.foss

There is no current Valhalla config for osmand. I’m using graphhopper for now (waiting for Valhalla integration)
