- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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 figures
We 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.

"The elders of the Internet...know my name?!"
I remember one Christmas dinner one of my aunties asked about iCloud and how are they "storing pictures n stuff inside clouds now?" (physical clouds!)
Everyone immediately looks at me and most of them probably didn't believe me when I said it's just a marketing term for storing your data on a companies "computer"/server.
My family is mostly tech illiterate, but still call me paranoid when I tell them the actual truth behind the tech they're putting their trust in.
The cloud is just someone elseβs computer that you neither own nor control.
Or - hear me out - or it is a bit of cotton on the end of an Ethernet cable.
That's the stuff the elites don't want you to know
Jokes on them, the Covenant have broken long ago
Exactly should've replaced the fluff with quite literally someone else's computer.
That patch panel is a thing of beauty from the front, I'll bet it looks even better ~~walking away~~ from the back
Not bad work, I'd use Velcro.
Hell no, even the servers are vaping now π

Looks like something from HP's lab.

This explains a lot
Don't those blue cables go to various locations in the office for equipment to connect to? You don't have 20 cables leading out to the internet. The purple cables connect to the switch/router/firewall and then one (or maybe a few) connection leads out to the internet.
It's not the Internet, it's The Cloud.
Purple cables go in, blue cables go to the cloud as you can see.
