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.

    Hah. ‘95 ish here? I was like twelve the first time I fucked up a Red Hat distro.

    I mean I was 12. Dad is a Unix admin…..

    “Don’t do that.”
    “Why not?”
    “Okay. Do that…. Find out. Yiu have the install media, right?”
    (Does “that”…)
    “wait… you actually did that?! We just got done installing it…”

    Edit to add: “newer and faster” in web browser terminology usually means “bloated and resource intensive”- like how they now all open up multiple processes to load and run faster. (iirc there’s a way to turn that off in Firefox.)

    I beat that. When I first installed a BSD in 1988 - I was 16 and stupid - I thought I would copy files like on Amiga or MSDOS by "copy filename c:" and did cp filename /dev/sda.

    You only do that ONCE.

    My dad was a genius. He helped me build my first pc out of spare parts from his computer-parts-rack.

    It was a pentium 486. He taught me enough that I could recover… and then helped when I asked for it, but gave me space to fuck up on my own. Because you will fuck up.

    But it’s okay, cuz you have the install media and everything “important” backed up.
