Sister communities:


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!

    Even the system files like those in /etc ?

    Yes. I use a hacky script to copy them to the right place

    [–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

    I do the same thing.

    [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    No. I only set up /etc/fstab and /etc/ssh/sshd_config once and they will never change.

    Package manager: This package contains an updated sshd_config file, would you like to replace your existing file with the package maintainer's updated file?

    Me, every time: LOL, no

    Shit, thanks for reminding me. I needed to take care of some pacdiff files
