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!

    Grub rescue should come with a hug or maybe a nice picture of a landscape.

    A random gif with a cute cat or a dog would be nice.

    Difficult to stuff this in the MBR for non EFI users. AFAIK grub can display background pictures though.

    Be not afraid, for I bring good news of a functioning CPU and memory, tools to inspect your disks, and as foretold in the time of the smartphone you may even still have Internet access to read all of the documentation.

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

    Implying I can understand the documentation even when it's available.

    I learnt a ton about Linux by fucking up my boot config and being too stubborn to just nuke and pave

    This is either you preventing suicide or extending the partition rescue nightmare.

    it's significantly less scary if you have a backup

    blows off dust

    here we go.... april 2007? uhoh...

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Eh, it's not like much happened between 2007 and now, maybe just a couple of updates

    😁or if you only store OS stuff on your local drive and have all data in your cloud including game saves

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    And by cloud you mean your server in the basement, right?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    Always put the important servers in the attic, where they get fried by the summer heat, instead of the basement, where the flood hits worst.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

    you could put the server on a floatation device in the basement.

    Joke's on you I use my server as pink-noise producers

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    I have it at my Friends Location and it is backed up on a hetzner clone that we can switch to without interruption if our own ship goes down

    Of course running stable debian, 😁 secure stable debian in server distrohoppibg at home

    "sudo kms" is such a mood 😭😭😭

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

    I have a server I've abandoned because it does this every time it reboots. Use an old desktop from work instead.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

    sd-boot or directly booting EFI stubs rocks
