Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    You, like me, must be old.

    I also frequently pass -l to the ssh command.

    I'm not old, I just like how short the command is

    Fair enough, I can respect that.

    I didn't get that.

    Checked the man and it's not deprecated. So what does it have to do with "old"?

    Nowadays most Linux users seem to use ssh user@host. When I was getting started, that didn't exist (or at least I was unaware of it) so I still frequently use the -l flag instead.

    Nothing wrong with it, just that at least I mostly encounter its use by experienced users.

    OIC. Good to know in case I ever have to work on some old CentOS 5 box lying around ever again.
    It also looks kinda proper, using that instead of the @, so when making shell scripts, I might want to prefer this.
