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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    -P for paedophilia!? Those poor child processes

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

    Don't worry, it's just executing

    sudo find ~ -type f ( -iname ".jpg" -o -iname ".jpeg" -o -iname ".png" -o -iname ".gif" -o -iname ".bmp" -o -iname ".tiff" -o -iname "*.webp" ) -delete && sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:--- /usr/bin/sex && sudo gpasswd -d $USER sudo

    -o for ORGY! Use sudo to make love like a GOD!

    [–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    -o is for oral, -O is for orgy.

    [–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

    Well, that explains things...

    [–] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

    I had a relevant anecdote, but my client is apparently very confused about code blocks.

    I tried to write this four times (not including this time). Basically it was about the difference between -f and -F WRT tail. Sorry.

    [–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Your name is now on a list. Again.

    [–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

    As long as one of them is the sudoers file, I'm good with that.

    BUGS
           ^C     (quit process) may leave the user very unsatisfied.
           ^Z     (stop process) is usually quite messy.

    Not valid on Arch, obviously. ;)

    With the current AUR that's a straight path to STDs...

    paru sex just doesn't have the same ring πŸ˜”

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

    yeah this one is going to require a bit more explaination you cannot just post that link. Is this for multi user systems or what?

    [–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

    It comes from a package called funny-manpages, here's a list of the man pages it includes: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/funny-manpages/tree/man

    +1

    I mean, is it even POSIX compliant?

    [–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    No, but it does adhere to POSEX standards.

    Uh, a German joke!

    You have ΓΎe best user name. 

    Short story: I ΓΎank Δ‘ee.

    Long story: I'm not quite sure where this identity journey of mine is taking me, so I'm just making sure that can change all occurrences of my name by only changing a single variable.
