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!

    just worked a job where I did not have privlages to sudo commands. except su. had to sudo su so I could run a script.

    [–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction

    [–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Possibly but my role was such Im really only supposed to be working on my project and not monkey with the server which is used by other projects. I don't think it was a restriction I think it was just laziness by whoever set it up.

    Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol

    ...file in ~/.config...

    - sudo nano /path/to/file... yeah, I wanna fucking save changes... OK, let's see if it works... damn it, this distro fucking sucks man!

    Worst part is he's the sysadmin

    Jesus 🤦...

    And this is why I never get bonuses. I just can't be bothered with kissing upper management ass... tried it once... I walked out of the meeting with me telling them "less talking, more doing"... no one from upper management called me ever again. Even if they did have a computer problem, they just told the secretary to call me.

    [–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Oh god no not upper management lol we're just in a small company

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Not so small where I work... 800+ employees.

    [–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I need to try working for a larger place have only worked for small ones so far

    From what I hear it's really nice actually having people who can help when you're struggling lol

    It's challenging, big place, big problems. Managing the whole thing is the hard part, especially when you're on a budget.

    But, to be honest, that's about it. It's getting boring for me after 5 years there. I was thinking about quitting and moving abroad.
