Configuring download directory for Chromium and Firefox snaps

Posted on by

So I read this and this and solved my problem. Basically I bind /temp/download to /media/$USER/download and then I can set the download directory in Chromium and Firefox snaps to /media/$USER/download and my downloads go where I want them. This was actually harder to figure out than it should have been.

I’m gonna follow these instructions to replace a disk in one of my ZFS arrays on my workstation ‘trick’. Have ordered myself a new 6TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive for $179. I hope nobody minds if I make a few notes for myself here…
