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.

    I was gonna come in here and say "Joe Biden" but i couldn't figure out how to turn it into a reference to the government spying on people.

    I don't know when I'll next get the opportunity to ask this, so

    How do people pronounce this: "gee lib cee" or "glib cee"?

    I have the same question about clang

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    idk what the official pronunciation is, but i say "gee lib cee" and "clang" (like the onomatopoeia)

    Having maintained Linux systems for over a decade, I instantly distrust anyone who claims they understand Linux regardless of what they say next.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

    I have 20 years of Linux experience. I tell people 'I know a few things.'

    Would never say I know everything or understand everything though.

    Just like an xkcd comic I expect to see someone reply that has 30 years experience or something.

    No libs on my system, only leftists allowed 😤😤😤

    Name em?

    find / -type f -perm -a=x -exec ldd {} 2>/dev/null \;

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

    It solves the problem but you get several megabytes of output, better pipe that into a file and do some filtering and finish with sort -u

    Why would you want dynamic linking? Afraid you will change your mind?

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

    This seems really cool!

    But dynamic linking saves space AFAIK

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    It also makes updating easier. When a lib has a bug it can be fixed by updating one package. If every application on your system was statically linked, each one of these would have to be updated individually.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    But then you definitely wouldn't have errors with different apps requiring different versions of the same library.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

    But then you definitely wouldn’t have errors with different apps requiring different versions of the same library.

    That's why libfoo.so.1.2.3, libfoo.so.1.2.4, libfoo.so.1.3.9, etc. exist. Flatpak also exists. Just link to a specific version of a freedesktop.org Runtime.

    Because static linking everything sucks.

    pkg-config --list-all

    The bar is too low

    Why is Lib capitalized when Linux is case sensitive and Lib files aren't a thing?

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    xbps-query -l | grep -i 'lib'

    Reminds me of an interview i was in. I was like, this isn't even in my job description... 7 interviews later. Come to find out, they were HAND DEPLOYING Linux servers to try to scale for double of their user base. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

    None. I use Gentoo and everything is compiled statically.

    ls -R /usr/lib/

    Easy

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

    We clearly need a "Periodic Table Song", but for libs. 😅

    $ locate -r '\.so$' | wc -l

    We're going to be here a while.

    I named most of them Marlin Jr, and Coral Jr, but I guess we can name one of them Nemo.
