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.

    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.

    Image Transcription: Comic

    [An Engineer Helping A Designer]

    Panel 1

    [Two people stand in front of a computer. One, the designer, has blue hair with a full beard and moustache, with sideburns, and a large nose. The other, the engineer, has brown hair and wears a hoodie. The engineer is typing at the computer, with a window up on the screen, while the designer stands with their arms limp by their sides.]

    Engineer: No problem, we can fix this on the terminal

    Panel 2

    [The designer has their hand up to their beard, with wide eyes and a mouth rounded by amazement. The designer has a slightly confused expression, eyebrows frowning a little.]

    Designer: Whoa, you're a hacker!

    Engineer: No, it's just the terminal.

    Panel 3

    [The designer has their hands in the air, their mouth wide open, their eyebrows arced and both eyes looking in opposite directions in a look of bafflement. The engineer is rolling their eyes.]

    Designer: Where are all the buttons, icons, and dropdown menus?

    Panel 4

    [Now with both hands to their beard, the designer has returned to their look of amazement, but with a hint of fear in their eyes, their pupils contracted to tiny white dots. The engineer looks relatively unphased.]

    Designer: Is this... the matrix?

    Engineer: Yes.

    Superb work! Were you a volunteer on that other site before?

    [–] MurdoMaclachlan 15 points 1 year ago

    Thanks! I was; I figured since I'm here I might as well do some transcriptions instead of lurking like I did over there before I joined the transcribers.

    Uses terminal, but has a paper cheat sheet for all the commands.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Paper cheat sheet? What's the point when you have the man page?

    [–] zekiz 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It's the cmatrix

    When I was in school someone was once looking what I was doing and I opened the terminal and pinged google. It was midly impressive and I still cringe that I even considered doing this for what amounts to clot.

    I keep a tmux screen with a bunch of pings going. Whenever I want to look busy, I switch to it, rub my chin, and wonder what I'm going to have for dinner.

    Have you heard of the Hollywood pkg? Basically just mimics Hollywood hacking screens, it's fantastic

    🤣 I was doing the opposite - I was making Winforms apps to exploit my school system (mainly browsing other users' documents) without standing out. They had restrictions set in Windows Explorer but somehow never actually bothered to setup permissions on the file server.

    I ended up creating a folder on the fileserver (normally restricted) and dumping a bunch of games in there (such as gta3, gta VC and gta sa). The IT staff found out after a few weeks because people were stealing laminated posters to shim the computer lab doors open, just to play the games from the fileserver...

    I put a bunch of games in one of my files but they found it and destroyed them :(

    For a person not used to command prompts, a computer without a GUI is like a person without skin - horrifying to look at.

    Nice attempt to swap the stereotypes
