Ahead of the Linux 7.0-rc6 kernel due to be released later today, quite a number of EXT4 file-system fixes were sent out this morning.

Ted Ts’o sent out the latest round of EXT4 fixes for Linux 7.0, which appear heavier than normal with various Syzkaller issues resolved, some memory leak fixes, a use-after-free bug, a potential crash, an fsync bug, and a variety of other fixes all making it into this stable pull

    Equal parts mad and cool that ext4 is still getting meaningful updates

    I remember when it was the new hotness 2 decades ago

      Wow, ok. Now I feel old. Yeah, I remember updating my system from ext3 to ext4 (an incredibly easy process). I can’t believe that was 20 years ago.

        When I first switched to Linux around 20 years ago, ext3 was the new default on the Ubuntu installer, while a few holdouts on the forums were still recommending ext2 to new users to see whether and how ext3 would hold up to real world usage.

      I’m left handed and in the Jerboa app the vote buttons are on the left. I’ve accidentally voted on posts when scrolling the feed quite a few times by now.

      I miss the old Relay Reddit app where I could move the controls around to avoid that issue.

          The pickings were slim when I initially went to Lemmy, but I might take a look at some of the others again soon. I am also hoping a Lemmy app would support UnifiedPush in the foreseeable future.

            I initially used jerboa for a long time, but I don’t remember what made me try something else. I settled on Thunder, but initially it was very weird and ugly. Had to spend a bunch of time in the settings to configure it in a way that made sense to me. Now it feels natural.

      Let’s hope it’s an accident. I have an app that allows for voting by swiping on a comment/post. It used to be quite sensitive and I found out I had down/up voted unintentionally when swiping back a couple of times.

        I used to be upset about this phenomenon until I realized Social Media is full:

        • people who can’t see one palm in front of them
        • literal children whose parents are scrolling videos for them to watch.

        All due to screen addiction. So while it is tempting to reduce everything to bots, trolls, or mustache-twirling villains who won’t let us have nice things, the reality is we humans too tend to misclick things. 😶‍🌫️

      lol this is why I think being able to disable downvotes from non-subscribers is a good idea
