2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    *our upvotes

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    That's a revolutionary move.

    Reformists might ln /usr /ussr.

    ln: /usr: hard link not allowed for directory

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Oh shit, that's right - it's a dir. Perhaps cp -rl /usr /ussr then? πŸ˜‚

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

    Just do a bind mount?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

    No no you have it all wrong

    No sym links in mother Russia

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

    in soviet russia sym links you

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

    It's a hard link.

    [–] stupidcasey 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Shouldn't that be a shared folder?

    [–] NorthWestWind 20 points 1 month ago

    sudo chmod -R 777 /ussr

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

    Could you do that by changing some configs or is this hardcoded too much?

    I mean a link would probably work but that'd be ~~cheating~~capitalism.

    [–] horse_battery_staple 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    sudo mkdir /ussr && sudo ln -s /usr /ussr

    [–] trolololol 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

    Or make a FS module that can redirect requests from usr to ussr, and every time it does a redirect it creates a log entry so you troubleshoot and fix the source of the problem.

    Then have a cron job that sends the logs daily to both Santa and Putin

    I love this idea. Matroiska Linux let's go

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    a link, like others said, is the reformist way. we should rebuild the entire kernel to use /ussr instead of /usr because we are revolutionaries

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the Linux Kernel itself does not enforce a directory structure at all. It's the user space (including the init ram image) that mounts the system directories wherever they want them.

    Edit: Besides inside mountable system filesystems like sysfs or /proc etc

    honestly i have no idea

    [–] phcorcoran 15 points 1 month ago

    Superuser do? How about soviet worker do?!

    [–] Rooty 7 points 1 month ago

    Makes ideology based changes to a system without regards to consequences

    Renders it partially functioning at best, completely inoperable at worst.

    At least nobody was purged this time.
