is the command locate too old for debian 13 xfce?
locate is a command I've used in the past, but now, fresh installed with sudo apt get locate it doesn return anything.
locate --version returnslocate (GNU findutils) 4.10.0, from 2024
or, have I forgotten something?
like this
locate uses an index you need to update using updatedb before it is able to find anything.
updatedb may run periodically because of a cron job, but the index is probably missing right after installing it manually.
I guess because that adds extra complexity that isn't inherently necessary and can be added on top, plus it eats resources. You'll spend the cycles either way basically, at least this way it's optional. I don't bother with a file indexer because with SSDs nowadays, find is pretty fast, and how often do you search for files anyway?
Linux has APIs to get notified on file system events (fanotify, inotify) which would allow such a service to update itself whenever files are created/delete immediately, but locate is way older than that, from the 80s. I think popular DEs have something like that.
There's also ways to search for specific files that come with packages (e.g. dpkg -S), because the package manager already maintains an index of files that were installed by it, so you can use that for most stuff outside /home.
And often advanced searches like only this root folder, in reverse order of accessed time, or only folder
On windows I use void tools everything but nothing like it compares in speed and ease of use on linux.
It's one of my many roadblock to transition to linux.
Have you tried RTFM? 😛
Jokes aside afaik you could do everything you mentioned with sort, find (with -type f, -printf and -mtime) and grep (filtering via regex with the -e flag).
Alternatively you could try KDE's file explorer dolphin (or even just its search utility kfind) as a graphical alternative.
My point is switching to linux is not quick or easy, but there are few really impassable roadblocks (games with shitty kernel level anticheat for example) and there is a high likelyhood someone in this community has encountered your problems aswell and migjt even know a solution.
using find to sort all pictures in /pics/ by inverted (i.e., most recently accessed first) access time, and filtering only those with an exposure time between 1/20 and 1/100 seconds
find /pics/ -type f \( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' -o -iname '*.png' \) \
-exec exiftool -ExposureTime -T {} \; -exec bash -c '
file="$1"
exposure="$2"
# Convert exposure to decimal
if [[ "$exposure" =~ ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ ]]; then
num="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
denom="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"
exposure_val=$(echo "$num / $denom" | bc -l)
else
exposure_val="$exposure"
fi
# Filter by exposure between 1/100 and 1/20 seconds
if (( $(echo "$exposure_val >= 0.01" | bc -l) )) && (( $(echo "$exposure_val <= 0.05" | bc -l) )); then
atime=$(stat -c %X "$file") # Access time (epoch)
echo "$atime $file"
fi
' bash {} $(exiftool -s3 -ExposureTime {}) | sort -nrIn voidtools everything it would be
pic: path:"C:\pics" sort:da-descending ExposureTime:1/20..1/100
But actually doesn't work because "ExposureTime" is only available as an sorting order not a filter but you get the gist ;)
Ah yeah okay, I see, that would be quite tedious to implement in bash. Everything looks pretty neat. 😁
Buuut I just looked at KDE's search framework filter options (used by dolphin if you press + f ) and it seems it is indeed possible to search/filter by exposure time with dolphin or via directly in the cli.
Seems like a good and useful workflow for sure. Don't know if something equivalent exists, maybe it doesn't.
I'd personally use find for this, but it is a command line tool, and while I have memorized some of the more common options (directories-only would be -type d for example), I'd have to look at the manpage for more advances options. It's not hard exactly but it's not easy-to-use GUI software for sure.
I've taken to using chatgpt to make me the more advanced find queries, before on linux I would ONLY use find /path | grep -i somenames
So that's already an improvement, if still a bit tedious
The thing about everything is that it's so ergonomic, fast and powerful.
Being able to search anything and sort everywhich way with the click of a button
Check out this sublime search syntax (this not even half of it ! )
And the re-ordering by columns, and there are just SO MANY columns you can add, like search by EXIF camera exposure, no problem !
I really wish there was something as good as "everything" on linux, it's just awesome.
But if there's not something like... whatever it is that thing that makes WizTree faster than WinDirStat, then it would probably work in a very slow compatibility mode

It's not just some random Israeli music he's playing, it's genocidal anthem "Harbu Darbu" by Ness & Stila. This song has played (and continues to play) a significant role in creating the post-October7 hyper-genocidal atmosphere that's been sweeping Israel and enabling a Holocaust
How to make tagging easier?
When I want to tag a post, I often come across the issue of "tagging uncertainty". E.g.
- Did I use singular (KungFuMovie) or plural (KungFuMovies) on other occasions?
- Did I use 'native' (KurosawaAkira) or Western (AkiraKurosawa) name order?
- Have I even used a tag on this topic before, or is it the first time?
In order to check, I:
- scroll up or down until I see the top of the community sidebar info
- middle-click the link there to the community home page (only available on my own community because I placed one there myself) to open in a new tab
- switch from posting window tab to that new tab
- scroll down until I see "All community tags"
- click on that
- look for the tag I'm interested in
- go back to the tab with the posting window
- write the desired tag
E.g. for this very post, I wasn't sure whether to tag it "tag", "tags" or "tagging". I had to click "Communities", search for "help", middle-click on "Piefed Help", switch to that tab and then look at the tag area to see which form has been used previously.
Some ideas that might make tagging easier:
- a "See all community tags" link next to the tags field in the posting window (easy to do?), opens in a new tab or a pop-up
- auto-suggest one or more tags once you start typing one in the tag field (hard to do?), like on Mastodon
- any other ideas, anyone?
like this
It's kind of a "wisdom of the crowd" thing. The idea that on average, in aggregate, most of the time, it starts to make sense and be useful. But individual posts are often tagged very "wrongly".
Having said that... For space reasons the tag list in the sidebar is limited to 30 tags and I'm sure there is more we could do to improve the utility of it. Maybe a separate page which has a rotatable tag cloud at the top and below that the list of posts dynamically updates based on whatever is the currently selected tag...
Honestly?
At this point, given their very limited range of usefulness (one-community-only, mods can't add, remove or edit tags on posts, clicking #tag won't find #tags or #tagging, the work required to try to avoid such 'tag splitting', Lemmy users can't add them, Lemmy users can't see them), I'm tempted to just stop bothering with tags altogether.
But then I remember "Search this community" doesn't really work...
:::spoiler jackiechan tag vs "Search this community" for jackie
- piefed.social/c/action_movies?… (8 results)
- piefed.social/search?q=jackie&… (1 result)
:::
So if I give up on tagging and community search is broken, what option does that leave for anyone trying to find something in a community? Flairs? Or just plain, old Ctrl+F? (Yes, I've had to resort to this with Piefed, with varying degrees of success.)
(I've already learned to keep an Alex Lemmy page open all the time, so I can do things like search a community.)
So I guess I have to keep tagging if I want Piefed users to be able to ever find anything. And I guess it will still involve me doing all those steps I listed in OP. 🙁 Not exactly a candidate for !piefed_joy@piefed.social

How much of my digital soul am I giving away by using "The Transit App?"
atleast where I live transit has all the metro and bus lines, and real-tike tracking of when the next bus/metro is, while osmand just has the metro and like 3 bus lines, so it's kinda useless for transit.
Osmand ia great for biking though.
I don’t know anything about that app aside from what it does, which is what wayze does and wayze was an Israeli spying cutout.
Just use a map and get on a stop or loop ahead of your appointment. I’m finding it hard to imagine a serious use for that app but it’s possible I just don’t understand.

Hi everyone.
I'm a member of the flotilla and preparing to leave for Gaza soon hopefully. A lot hanging on logistics and other things still but I will know more the coming days.

Sorry for the changes had to switch up on the phones a bit.
We will set sail in September. I hope to be be able to update a bit on these channels and setting up new accounts for this purpose.
Any tips, shares and discussions are welcomed and I hope to be be able to update on the journey a bit here.
Official updates will be made from official accounts but this will be my personal experience and as a backup for when other communications no longer are available.
Palestine will be free!

Hi , so I still can't update much more but to say we have been delayed. A lot of work do to here and amazing people to meet . Huge support from the locals here in Italy. The dockworkers union will stop all Isreal transports if any interference with the flotilla. As well as other actions from university groups and others.
When I applied for this my thoughts was that the likely outcome would be interception . Now I'm getting more and more hopeful that we will actually be able to go all the way to Gaza.
DNS app asking for my location. How bad is that?
Well, for one, I'm not giving OP the piss for downloading the app. We all get suckered at one time or another. However, as I highlited, 1000 downloads, no reviews, and just someone’s name, is cause to pause and do some diligent searches regarding the app. If it were legit, most likely you'll find someone who has used the app and voiced their opinion. For instance, when I go to github, the first thing I want to see is when was the last activity, how many stars, how mature is the project, read the issue tracking section, etc. After a while you get a spidey sense about stuff.
Be cautious and verify.

Gaza Genocide Provokes Anti-War Dissent Among Mormons
Gaza Genocide Provokes Anti-War Dissent Among Mormons - Inkstick
Campaigners are targeting the hearts, minds and multibillion-dollar investment fund of the Utah-based faith.Taylor Barnes (Inkstick Media)
As a former Mormon I find this mildly interesting, but I don't have much hope that large numbers of LDS people will begin to protest against the genocide. The pro-Israel thing is deeply embedded... as in, I'm pretty sure there are an awful lot of LDS people who will see the sacrifice of a million or two Palestinians, even if totally innocent, as a reasonable price to pay for God's Chosen People getting the Land Of The Covenant to usher in the Second Coming.
Even deeper than that: Mormons are mostly herd animals. Dissent has been trained out of them (unless the dissent is authorized by the First Presidency).
Alternatives to GrapheneOS
Wanted to get a new phone since my S20 is starting to show its age. And with all the enshitification of Android lately I thought it'd be good to try a different phone OS.
However, I don't really want to buy a Google Pixel so GrapheneOS is a no go. I was really interested in the Fold 7 but it seems that will not be possible to get without Android. Thought DivestOS was good but it looks like support ended in 2024.
What other phone OS are people using?
No, it is not.
They forked LinaegeOS, which is 0 security oriented, stripped it of all its private services (like Seedvault) and now want the user to pay a subscription for their non encrypted backup servers and a shitty DNS blocker
