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!

    Me updating my Arch install in the morning at school (there's faster connection):

    But, with current install I finally started writing logs of all manual changes I make (config updates, created symlinks outside home dir, package installations, etc...). I'll finally know what I did instead of trying to guess what weird thing I did 2 years ago.

    This is a fantastic idea. Keep a config diary. I can imagine a teenager doing this and eventually getting in trouble with the law. Parents open the diary only to discover scribbled bash scripts in confusion.

    For real, though, I'm going to journal it all and upload to NextCloud.

    Until recently I kept (most of) my initial setup and config files in a repo with some hacky bash scripts.

    Until recently because I finally replaced the bash mess with Ansible and it's so much better.
