cbarrick, (edited ) to linux 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.

cbarrick, (edited ) to linux in The Wine development release 9.0-rc1 is now available

That page is a pain to read on mobile. I copied the main part of the announcement here for readability.

The Wine development release 9.0-rc1 is now available.

This is the first release candidate for the upcoming Wine 9.0. It marks the beginning of the yearly code freeze period. Please give this release a good testing and report any issue that you find, to help us make the final 9.0 as good as possible.

Did you try to set up that container to serve HTTPS?

It sounds like you have some service configured to serve HTTPS, and it’s having trouble starting because the cert is broken.

Only that particular service will be broken. The rest of the system is fine.

Check systemctl status --failed for more info.

Edit: I’m only talking about the X.509 error. The AMD error is probably related to your hardware.

cbarrick, to linux in Integrity and config errors Ubuntu

X.509 certs are commonly used in TLS/HTTPS.

Why is one needed in your boot process?

Is your drive encrypted?

cbarrick, to linux in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?

i have yet to encounter a user request to change Fkey to Fn.

It’s me. Hi. I prefer Fn over Fkey.

The only software I use that recognizes F-keys is htop, but it also supports other key codes.

On the flip side, I use the volume and brightness controls on my Fn keys all the time.

cbarrick, (edited ) to linux in How safe are my data if my hard drive isn't encrypted?

An encrypted hard drive means that someone cannot physically steal your hard drive and read its contents.

Encryption-at-rest is generally moot against RCE exploits, because your OS will happily decode files that your programs have permission to read.

That said, on modern systems, encryption is cheap. So set it up if you can.

Edit: I replied to the original post.

cbarrick, to comicstrips in JPEG

Dunno. Haven’t had the chance to try the argument.

But like, I’ve literally never heard someone say “jay-pheg”.

cbarrick, to comicstrips in JPEG

Yes!

I’ve always been in the “jif” camp.

Now I have a new counter!

last Thursday of November

Ackchyually, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

This is different from the last Thursday, because 2 out of every 7 Novembers tends to have a fifth Thursday.

They added “za” (slang for “pizza”), which is a strategy-breaking change.

It makes the letter “z” soooo much more powerful.

So PA is a weird one because it’s so wide.

Yes, Philly is undoubtedly on the east coast.

But Pittsburgh is on the other side of the mountains.

I wouldn’t call Pittsburgh the “east coast”.

cbarrick, to comicstrips in Equation by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

The Bellman Equation describes a “principle of optimality" for decision making.

Essentially, choose the action that maximizes your expected future “value.” The problem is how you choose your value function, and how you estimate the outcomes of your actions.

cbarrick, to asklemmy in Whats the best Chromebook for the money?

The HP Elite Dragonfly is the best Chromebook currently.

But, as always, the “best for the money” is always relative. The Elite Dragonfly is the best, but the price reflects that.

Wait, really?

I always assumed China had these massive complexes because of the population density.
