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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I trolled myself by "learning" that I could delete all files in a directory, including hidden files, with rm -rf ./*. The mistake being that I (more than once...) accidentally put a space between the . and /.

    I forced myself to use trash (from trash-cli) when I lost my first server install from this.

    Nowadays, I've removed the alias from rm that asked me to use trash, and am still using trash if there's a chance I might want to keep something.

    I just alias rm to trash and if I really want to remove something I just escape the alias: \rm

    Could do that, but they have different flu args.i respect the power of rm now.
