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!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process if you don't enter anything for few minutes, "yay" aur manager looking at you, and you got to do other things than sit and look in the monitor all day long, things like cleaning house or touching grass for example

    sudo visudo

    At the end:

    Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30

    USER is obviously changed to your username.

    If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable

    See, this is why I love xbps. Does everything in one blow, no bullshit.

    Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn't happen
