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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is ~~(was?)~~ in jail.

    Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser

    Wiki says he is still there:

    Criminal penalty: 15 years to life imprisonment (parole in 2022 refused, next hearing is in 2027)

    Thanks for the link, seems interesting.

    Hans Reiser, who created reiserfs, was convicted of murdering his ex-wife. It was quite the deal at the time.

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Oh cool.

    [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    His wife was a little less impressed /s

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Cool as in interesting information, not cool as in cool to kill your wife.

    [–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

    To be fair, it was a controversial feature at the time, some people said it actually encouraged the development of btrfs as an alternative.

    Hans Reiser murdered his wife in 2006. That’s not a joke, ~~or~~ but it’s also a meme.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

    It is a meme.
