REPLACEMENT
This version (240121) replaces version 230121 (Systemd) and version 230109 (OpenRC).

WHAT’S NEW in exGENT Build 240121?
The boot loader Grub Legacy has been replaced by Grub2. In exGENT versions before 170309 the file system wasn’t writable when running exGENT live (from DVD). Now you can emerge (install) new programs/packages even while running the system from a DVD or USB stick. If you do that and later decide to install exGENT to hard drive all your changes...

About Linux timestamps maybe

Posted 01-17-2024 at 02:57 PM by maybeJosiah
Updated 01-31-2024 at 03:42 PM by maybeJosiah (format times maybe)

All Linux has changed time AKA ctime, access time AKA atime, and modified time AKA mtime. Some Linux also has created time/birth time AKA crtime. Like universally all these may be accessed via "stat" with Bash. You may read "stat --help" in your terminal for more specific information. Changed time is last time metadata changed, and others are self explanatory. On some distros "crtime" may be replaced by "btime" and/or "ctime" may be replaved by "chgtime"....

If you don't have xdg-desktop-portal, and file dialogs don't show up for firefox, edit this on about:config

2 – Auto (typically depends on whether Firefox is run from within Flatpak or whether the GDK_DEBUG=portals environment is set)

The settings are:

widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker – Whether to use XDG portal for the file picker

Bookmarking a search, then editing it on the bookmark manager, is the easiest way to add custom search engines in firefox

Posted 01-17-2024 at 01:08 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

Chrome provides a somewhat more straightforward way to add custom searches with custom parameters. Some people suggest rather cumbersome ways to do it in firefox, like editing some text file with some xml formatting, then allowing some developer option in about:config, then dragging and dropping the file somewhere.

But unless that has some hidden advantage that I haven't imagined yet, a much handier way is to first go on some web search, do some generic/token/fake search with the...
