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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • ย

    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 about buying a book with the random numbers

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

    multiply the last 2 an n number of times, with n being the result of /dev/urandom รท /dev/random

    This all sucks. There's nothing more random than a 4-year-old

    Dunno, asked my 4 years old brother for 10 random numbers between 0 and 100 throughout a whole week, most of them were 6, 28 and 50 Funnily enough, there were only 1 number above 50, which was 52... I guess he figured out he was saying too much 50

    I thought this was an April fool's article at first.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    I wonder what could be more random than it or more fun examples?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

    As far as I know they have done different approaches and not just the lava lamps

    From a quick search:
    Double pendulum system in London
    radioactive decay of a uranium pellet in Singapore
