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!

    Oh, the software is actually called SANE. I thought you were just making clear how bad Brother's drivers were.

    Oh, yeah. lol. It's the Linux scanner framework. It has a network protocol that will talk to other SANE services and allow scanners to be shared.

    My scan programs all go through SANE, so you don't need the Brother drivers on each PC you want to scan from (just the machine that is interfacing with the scanner; in my case, it's a Docker container on my server).

    Learning I could do that was pretty life changing. lol
