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.

    Most people these days get their hands on an Arduino or ESP32 to get started. Arduino is an entire ecosystem of C++ libraries and a framework that people have cobbled together to make programming microcontrollers easier on people not familiar with low level concepts. The IDE most people are using now is VS Code with the PlatformIO extension, since the Arduino IDE is kinda...bad.

    I myself started in hardcore mode with a PIC microcontroller back in the late 2000s when it wasn't as easy to get into it. Back then, if you needed a procedure or abstraction layer to talk to a sensor, you had to write it yourself and figure out SPI communication protocols and such. Nowadays, someone has probably already made it for you.
