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.

    rm -yrf ~/*

    (Just in case, don't do that)

    You know that Linux has protection against rm -rf / since a few years ?

    Guess it's a sign that Linus got milder on the way, growing old :-) And the terrible BOFH joke of this grew old and boring as well. Gotta take care about new Linux users.

    what? Will it warn me for removing the french language pack? That's what I call bloat!!

    [–] exu@feditown.com 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Actually that's RMS getting older. Afaik only GNU rm protects the root.

    🙂 👍

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

    That wasn't the command I wrote though

    [–] 737@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

    rm is part of GNU or busybox though.

    [–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

    They said ~/

    I don't think there's any protection for the current user's home directory

    What do you mean that's not the name of your cat and I shouldn't type it in my terminal?

    Only at work when logged in to the admin account.
