Just spent about 4 hours trying to figure out what was causing the system to reset to UNIX epoch

...turns out it was a CI build (system is a Gitlab runner) running in a docker container and the execution was C code that resets the localtime for our embedded devices.

Just a word of warning for anyone working with CI/CD, docker containers will reset your host system datetime quite easily it seems.

Dumb question about having multiple ip addresses on one server

I have a server with multiple ip addresses assigned to it. I would like to have different applications listening to the same port on all of the addresses assigned to the server. I was wondering what general field this falls under so that I can research this topic more. Typically in this application I would specify the address/port to listen on as 0.0.0.0:<port> or 127.0.0.1:<port>. I am not sure how I would go about changing that between the different instances of the applications to make them function independently. Any info would be appreciated and again, sorry for the dumb question!

Started Linux via the recovering tool of windows now windows is broken

So I've put MX Linux on an USB drive.

I started my PC again and for some reason the recovery screen of windows came up. As smart as I am, I selected to use the USB drive through that menu.

It crashed.


Then I booted linux from the bios by selecting the USB drive.

Linux starts but I noticed during the install that I forgot to create a partition for it.

So I went back and tried to start up windows.. it can't boot.

But I can still get into the recovery menu of windows by selecting some windows boot drive in the bios.

In that menu I can't to anything. Whatever I click on, it either crashes or tells me that it didn't work and that nothing was changed.

Is there a way to save windows or do I need to install it again via some USB drive?

It's 6am and I'm trying to get this working for some hours.

failed to run a qtwayland compositor

I'm trying to run a qtwayland compositor but it fails and I get return to the login screen.

I checked the log file in \~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log :

>QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment. Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory) qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" even though it was found. qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

When I try to run it as a normal program it works fine, What is the problem?

Installing a game.

I'm trying to install a game for Linux that I've been trying to play for a while (https://teamterrible.itch.io/the-baby-in-yellow) and it says to paste in this command after some other steps. I did those but it always said "bash: GMTK2020: No such file or directory" It would be nice if anyone could help!

&#x200B;

Or just give me steps for the installation process.

Keysound: a keyboard sound software

Hello everyone, I am a beginner at cpp. As I learned cpp for a while, I wanted to practice the skills of cpp, so I wrote this software. The code is not well, but the soft works well.

Here is the code: https://github.com/fgheng/keysound

Here is some video:

You can define each key with a special sound:
