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!

    • Garnet: Running Debian Sid, so affected by vulnerability; hastily downgraded to 5.4.5
    • Amethyst: FreeBSD still ships 5.4.x
    • Pearl: Obsolete and currently unused hardware, so Linux hasn't been updated since October and OSX hasn't been updated since 2009.
    • Pearl-II: Void Linux still ships with 5.4.x, and the malware requires glibc anyway (I'm running musl); macOS partition still has 5.4.x (which is strange, given that I use pkgsrc, which shipped 5.6.x)
    • LapisLazuli: According to Mageia, everything's fine
    • Spinel: Running Raspbian Stable, which still ships 5.4.x

    Damn that's a really cool way to name your machines!

    Why do I suddenly have the urge to rename mines...

    All my devices, Linux or otherwise, have a host name after fictional a vessel be it water, air, or space. Weatherlight, Swordfish_II, Hammerhead, Pequod, Flying_Dutchman, Serenity, Arwing, Cloudbase, Prydwen, Nebuchadnezzar... I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of. Nebuchadnezzar is my LTO machine that I can never spell correctly... but that's fine, I only log in to do an annual backup to cold and fresh install of any workstation or laptop or cellphone to tape and store in my safe. Have been doing that for 3 years now. I have to look up how to spell it literally every time.

    Cool! I name my storage drives after weather (e.g. STORM19, LIGHTNING12, REDSPRITE24).
