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.
  • ย 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    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.

    Don't those blue cables go to various locations in the office for equipment to connect to? You don't have 20 cables leading out to the internet. The purple cables connect to the switch/router/firewall and then one (or maybe a few) connection leads out to the internet.

    It's not the Internet, it's The Cloud.

    Purple cables go in, blue cables go to the cloud as you can see.

    I remember one Christmas dinner one of my aunties asked about iCloud and how are they "storing pictures n stuff inside clouds now?" (physical clouds!)

    Everyone immediately looks at me and most of them probably didn't believe me when I said it's just a marketing term for storing your data on a companies "computer"/server.

    My family is mostly tech illiterate, but still call me paranoid when I tell them the actual truth behind the tech they're putting their trust in.

    Why are those patch cables so long?!

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

    Well when you have to release a patch to a customer and they are quite far away...

    (e: also I have my house networked with patch cables to every room via the attic, some are 100')

    The cloud is just someone elseโ€™s computer that you neither own nor control.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

    Exactly should've replaced the fluff with quite literally someone else's computer.

    Or - hear me out - or it is a bit of cotton on the end of an Ethernet cable.

    That's the stuff the elites don't want you to know

    Jokes on them, the Covenant have broken long ago

    That patch panel is a thing of beauty from the front, I'll bet it looks even better ~~walking away~~ from the back

    Not bad work, I'd use Velcro.
