Patch, in openSUSE Logo Contest Concludes With Winners Selected

I’m not enormously bothered by the designs themselves; the new logos look fine, although I preferred the old logo.

But what really bothers me is that they’ve gone with a whole disjointed mess of different designs for each of their sub-projects. Why on earth wouldn’t you take this opportunity to design a coherent family of logos? Bizarre missed opportunity.

cbarrick, (edited ) in Stat command shows birth *after* modify time?

FWIW, the stat structure in Linux does not include birth time [1]. It only gives you:

  1. atime: The time of last access.
  2. mtime: The time of last modification.
  3. ctime: The time of the last change to the inode.

I assume the stat command is using a filesystem-specific method to get the birth time.

Anyway, I don’t think any of these stats is guaranteed to be consistent with the rest (or even correct). For example, it is common to disable atime tracking to improve I/O performance.

Assuming the data is accurate, I think the other comment about the file being a copy is the best explanation.

duncesplayed,

The stat command is using statx, which gives you a slightly different struct. statx is the cool new Linux-only system call for stat-ing. Not every filesystem will support the new btime field. (And, as you correctly say, many of those time fields are wrong, anyway)

cbarrick,

Ooo neat. I was not aware of this syscall. TIL!

The struct returned by stat doesn’t, but statx contains creation time as well as well. I believe ext4 is already tracking the creation time even if stat can’t provide it.

The stat command on modern distros should get you this additional metadata, unless you use an FS that doesn’t track or expose it, of course.

The text editor that’ll be coming with Cosmic looks pretty slick! I’ve got a loooong way to go with learning rust so maybe I’ll take a look at the iced/pop libraries when Cosmic comes out 👀

You can start with the libcosmic repository, and the examples contained within. We’re going to work on revamping our design demo application soon, which will be a learning resource for COSMIC application development

I don’t know what exact situation could have happened here but I imagine a copy could have also copied the metadata into a new file. So it creates a new file as the destination (setting the birth date), then as part of copying the file it copied the access and modify times.

GustavoM, in How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Does a single board computer counts as a phone? Then a Orange pi zero 3. (Not like theres anything else to do other than read/lurk online communities, code and the occasional cloud gaming nowadays, so eh.)

MigratingtoLemmy,

I completely agree with your statement (that’s how my day goes too), but I wanted a mobile device. Thanks

v81,

Can it make phone calls?

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, “it just werks” just like Xorg – don’t know why folks still make such fuzz regarding this subject.

t. Managed to install Sway on a single board computer with zero Linux support – Orange pi zero 3.

lenan, (edited ) in Firefox Sidebar Addon like Brave or Vivaldi?

I use Tree Style Tab for the sidebar and Simple Tab Groups to get workspaces. They work quite well together. Customize userChrome.css to get rid of the sidebar header and other things and you get something like this

Corr,

I’m very non-adept with CSS. Any chance you could share the code you use to remove the header? Thanks either way!

Corr,

Never mind, someone else linked something that worked for me.

update: currently testing mini cinnamon on a VM at the moment

Looks pretty good, tho I haven’t really gotten in the setup yet (really close tho!)

thespezfucker,

I’m currently using typing on said vm? pretty cool right?

penquin, in How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux
@penquin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

This is way too long and complicated for just a bios update. Dell laptops actually have a “update bios from flash” option in the boot menu. So all you need is a USB stick formatted to FAT32, copy the bios update file (that you download from their website) into it, boot into boot menu and choose “update bios from flash”. I have done this so many times and even made a YouTube video about it.

terminhell,

Mostly on the newer bios machines. Older ones don’t. Same for hp. Lenovo is all over the place.

Not really bad, but as many others have pointed out, the previous logo was better and more recognisable, I see no real reason behind this change

Pantherina, in How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux

Other thing: so many Laptops dont get updates anymore. I wonder if we could squeeze one out for the Logofail vulnerability

onlinepersona, in openSUSE Logo Contest Concludes With Winners Selected

This is fine.

feef, in openSUSE Logo Contest Concludes With Winners Selected

This looks like shit

mmh yeah… but no.

wreckedcarzz, in How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Does Dell… not offer a way to update the bios via flash drive or network? The fuck? Every board I’ve ever owned had the option to at least flash from USB.

JWBananas,
@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

They do. Even back in their pre-UEFI days, it was possible to flash BIOS from a properly-formatted USB drive by holding down a magic key combination at power on. But it was not exactly publicized as a supported method.
