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!

    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 1 year 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.
