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 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 figuresWe 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.

    Something about child processes, maybe?

    [–] greenashura@sh.itjust.works 53 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I hate this, here have an up vote

    [–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 4 months ago

    That is probably the actual answer though lol

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 35 points 4 months ago

    Forking children

    [–] huquad@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 months ago

    Killing children and such

    [–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 67 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Because legal discovery data retrieval is almost entirely automated. You are always going to end up with some irrelevant shit in there because it matched a keyword search somebody used for discovery.

    Source: I used to do this when companies I worked for got subpoenas for email data.

    [–] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 4 months ago

    Yup probably because "children" and/or "child" is referenced in there

    That's hilarious. I'm guessing its a result of an auto-redacter which is set to redacts urls or something? since the original would be

    --enable-largefile
    Enable support for large files (http://www.sas.com/standards/large_
    file/x_open.20Mar96.html) if the operating system requires special compiler
    options to build programs which can access large files. This is enabled by
    default, if the operating system provides large file support.

    I can't see any obvious keywords there, it would be very telling to be able to determine what theye filtering on, if we had enough unredacted/redacted pairs to find out

    [–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago

    Large files huh? "Large" like "4k videos of blackmail material" large or what are we talking here?

    Fedora just runs my large 4k videos of totally not pirated movies just fine, I've never had a file too large to access.

    [–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

    Auto redaction of dated urls maybe?

    [–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    there is another URL at the end of the document without redaction.

    [–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

    yea I'm not sure, maybe something to do with the term SAS but yea not enough unredacted stuff to really know.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    data dump flood to hide the pertinent stuff.

    like dumping a very large bale of hay on the needle.

    And the needle was

    forking children

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    I like how it asks of you are 18 or older

    [–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 15 points 4 months ago

    It'll have been an important question to Epstein, for very wrong reasons

    [–] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Bash officially cancelled for being in the Epstein files

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, finally, a command line shell for the 90s.

    [–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

    someone wrote RTMF instead of RTFM?

    [–] 4am@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 months ago

    He had it on a hard drive or someone emailed it to him.

    [–] ghost@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    You know that dude was running a private on-site server.

    [–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 4 months ago

    Goddamn so everyone’s a bastard, eh?

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    did RMS visit epstein island?

    EDIT : hey, when you have a billion, you might as well get a thinkpad and try out this "lin-ux" thing

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -3 points 4 months ago

    I wouldn't be completely shocked
