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 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β

    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 remove France.

    Sitting around waiting for things to compile is one of my least enjoyable life experiences

    Can I offer you some pre-compiled binaries on these trying times?

    [–] surewhynotlem 1 points 2 years ago

    As a developer, I thoroughly enjoy watching the flood of successful compiles. It's the only time that actually happens the first time..

    Whenever I try to get I to nix, I take a took at the nixpkgs and it scares me straight

    When I installed Gentoo back in the very early 2000s I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. I printed out the entire install doc, then launched into the install with no working computer and just the paper doc.

    I didn't know what I was doing but the install doc was good enough that I got a working installation!

    I remember baffling some people on a forum asking for help with something dead simple and them not understanding how I had a working system without understanding that thing.

    "But... you installed Gentoo from scratch, how do you not know this?"

    "I just followed the install doc!"

    I had a university lecturer who would talk on such a complex level I'd just fall asleep from confusion. Turns out he used to be a Gentoo dev. Figures.

    Me trying to fumble my way around setting up my own lemmy instance. To be fair though, all their instructions are wrong.
