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.

    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.

    What actually are the advantages of system rc over systemd?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Not having to go on an hour-long googling adventure to figure out how to write a simple init script. If you know bash, that's all you need if you're running (for instance) OpenRC. Systemd services are a mishmash of obscure setting names.

    Systemd is definitely more of a pain in the ass.

    It's easier to manage/secure since it's essentially just shell scripts. Systemd touches a lot of things and makes the initialization process more complex, which introduces more security vectors.

    I love the fact that I can't tell whether this is irony or not.
