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.

    This is the kind of dad that will backtrace you.

    apt: could not get lock: permission denied

    [–] wreckedcarzz 35 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    deletes some lock file and it works again

    FBI OPEN UP

    [–] jaybone 10 points 7 months ago

    Plot twist: the FBI is the daemon that has the lock.

    Reminds me of one time I was running an update at work and a coworker came up and asked are you coding because I have an app idea.

    I said all I typed up was "yay"

    [–] redbr64 41 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Did you then tell them "I use arch btw" and then get a confused question about architecture?

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

    I had to because I had a sticker

    [–] RGB3x3 2 points 7 months ago

    "It's pronounced Ark, short for Architecture. It's French."

    "Fuck off, Kyle."

    I once had someone at school declare, "Oh shit, you're hacking stuff!". I forget exactly what I was doing at the moment, but I either had a Latex doc open in vim, or I had ncmpcpp open. Not nearly as exciting as whatever he was imagining.

    I genuinely wonder how many government systems are vulnerable to being broken by someone issuing a command to update to the latest software version

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Not as many now that governments have opened there eyes to cyber warfare

    [–] aliteral 1 points 7 months ago

    So we just need to infiltrate the governments and do the Kerrigan compiler thingy?

    jokes on you, I made my dad switch to linux and he loves it

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

    My dad wanted chromeos for some Reason. Better then before i guess.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

    Without the capitalization, I read ChromeOS as Chromeos and that made me think its the new hottest breakfast cereal.

    what distro does he use?

    [–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

    Pipe that stuff into lolcat and you are hacking the government in gay :3

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    So I just learned this mere seconds ago messing around in the terminal because of this thread. You know toilet the big text program in the terminal that does kind of ascii art text? A major difference between it and figletis it can do colors, and there are two color presets guaranteed to be available. Try toilet "hello there" --gay

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

    Neat. But lolcat has a better gradient

    [–] aliteral 1 points 7 months ago

    Aside from neat tricks, I have never ever used it for something productive... But they are still great commands to have fun!!

    Most accurate. Gentoo users all still live in their parent's basements

    Heheheheheh >:3

    [–] mlg 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Imagine having to run two commands to upgrade your packages

    [–] NickwithaC 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)
    sudo apt update && apt upgrade
    

    Still one line!

    [–] dev_ashish 4 points 7 months ago

    Well he said two commands, not lines :)

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

    I like

    sudo nala upgrade -y
    

    Works well :-D

    a reminder to hack the government?

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)
    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

    Just don't hack too much time...

    [–] redbr64 12 points 7 months ago

    sudo apt install hollywood

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I'm actually thinking of pranking my girlfriend some time by editing her bash aliases so that:

    alias update='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && hollywood'

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

    It'll look the same to normies lol

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

    Emerge -avUDN @world

    You now hack all the governments at once!
