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.

    Ah yes, I'll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.

    It's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before.

    Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.

    To be fair, switching to 240v is pretty easy, just move the neutral to a hot leg in the fuse box.

    Wouldn't that hot leg need to be 180 degrees out of phase with the other?

    Yes but I was’t trying to write a book this morning.

    I'm no electricityologist, but wouldn't that make half your circuits 240V and the other half deadly 0V?

    Major side benefit of finally having a decent vacuum cleaner..
