2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

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 remove France.

And this is why every time a developer asks me for shell access to any of the deployment servers, I flat out deny the request.
Good on you for learning from your mistakes, but a perfect example for why I only let sysadmins into the systems.
You're not wrong! Devops made me lazy
Please examine where devops allowed non-system people to be the last word on altering systems. This is a risk that needs block-letter indemnification or correction.
It's not that devops made ya lazy. I've been doing devops since before they coined the term, and it's a constant effort to remind people that it doesn't magically make things safe, but keeping it safe is still the way.
Ah not to discount devops, I mean that in a good way.
Devops made me lazy in that for the past decade, I focus on just everything inside the code base.
I literally push code into a magic black box that then triggers a rube goldberg of events. Servers get instanced. Configs just get magically set up. It's beautiful. Just years of smart people who make it so easy that I never have to think about it.
Since I can't pay my devops team to come to my house, I get to figure it all out!
We have it at my company its just a very small group and we have to manually enable it for production and its through tools like teleport. Staging and the like its free game there for them for debugging, same infra through. Gives us best of all worlds
