How does Mars rover Perseverance which uses linux sync time?

I saw a post saying that Open BSD has added Coordinated Mars Time (MTC). This is an April Fool's joke I think. But it got me wondering since the helicopter uses linux and time is a critical aspect in running command sequences etc. How does it sync time. How much long it would take it to sync time over the network. Do they have some other provisions to sync time? May be this question is silly or not related to linux per se. I am asking out of curiosity. What do you think?

Edit: I was mistaken it is the helicopter that uses linux and not the rover itself.

After many years, I'm back on Linux. It feels AMAZING!!!!

Friends,

Today, years after my first ever install of Linux Mint all the way back in 2010, I have finally returned to linux. After years of browsing reddit (and being a linux fan, always perpetually subbed to r/linux, r/linuxmasterrace, r/homelab, and other similar subreddits) and lurking on some linux-based subs I have finally experienced a computer that's not just some bottom of the barrel "will it run linux, I'm-just-fooling-around-with-this" machine, but a pretty powerful budget gaming PC.

It feels good.

This machine is intended to be a kick-ass home theater/media pc and will more than likely travel with me (My job requires travel occasionally, and I wanted to have a machine that I knew could allow me to still have some fun on the road. Pelican case is included in the purchasing this round, so that I can keep my pc safe). I might end up dual booting down the line, but for now this machine is my HTPC running Linux, very proudly.

Hopefully I can run some of my music production apps inside wine, if not, dual booting would be a little more necessary a little faster.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone on r/linux for keeping the content great, keeping the community growing, and for continually reminding me that I should probably install linux (and I did!).

Since it's been a while since I've been on linux, and in order to stimulate the comments section- what's your favorite FOSS app which you would recommend to me? While I can still run terminal commands (just like riding a bike!), it's been a while since I've been in this ecosystem!

How to use OneNote natively (small caveat) on Linux!

All my college notes are on OneNote and the web interface is super slow, so I had to keep using Windows 10. However, I realized, there's a mobile version of OneNote! I can run that emulated!

Steps:

1. Download android an android emulator compatible with your distro (I used Anbox https://anbox.io/)

2. Download the x86 compiled version of the OneNote apk from the web (I used apkmirror)

3. Follow Anbox instructions on how to install an App (https://docs.anbox.io/userguide/install_apps.html)


Done!

This is very bad workaround, but I doubt Microsoft will create a native port anytime soon. I have a pretty beefy system (Ryzen 5600x, 1080ti, 16gb ram) and it's fast, but it may not work well on lower end systems.

Hope this helps fellow people who are stuck using OneNote lol

Hypothetical alteration of app on Linux

I was curious, imagine I wanted to take the Reddit app but just modify it slightly. I want to be able to pre-load certain subreddits, posts and my notifications in the background. That way, when I open the app, there's no loading. Everything is ready to run, and opens immediately.

I don't think this will be possible on my Android. I can't modify the app. Maybe I could modify some other open source Android reddit app? But it sounds like a complicated undertaking for an advanced developer, since I haven't done Android development yet.

So, what about a more free, unrestricted ecosystem of Linux? If I downloaded some pre-existing Reddit app to a Linux operating system, would there be an easier, more general command to somehow have the app pre-load the app pages in the background, without me manually having to re-code parts of the app?

Thanks very much
