I just joined Lemmy! I tried to a while back but I struggled to find communities to subscribe to. I found much better tools this time and I think I'll be staying. It's such a relief to feel like I can upvote/downvote/interact with things without being tracked or modifying my feed. Hello Fediverse :)

I've been working on a script for the past month which mounts and unmounts encrypted drives from a terminal command line. I've finally reached a state where I'm happy with it and feel it's quite complete.
I made it to help safely automate the backup of all the devices on my home network while helping me feel more secure about my encrypted drives. Mainly by ensuring I still need to type in my passphrase for each encrypted drive and making sure my encrypted drives are reencrypted after the backup data transfer is complete.
I'm now tempted to rewrite my first script in the same format as this current script so that it would be easier to add more features to it that's been sitting in the back of my mind.
I like this idea.
