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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    I accidentally did this on a work computer, just going with tab completion. Things started to break very quickly. I don't think I could even run sudo or rm lol. Total wash. Had to reinstall (this was on my first week in office - so embarrassing!).

    Made me puke in my mouth

    definitely nsfw

    Missing setuid. You have just bricked your system good job

    I did chmod -R 666 / when I started playing with Linux in 1999. It did not end well.

    Sudo didn't really exist back then, you ran things as root like real men. /s

    (sitting cross-legged on the floor drinking a juice box) "How DID it end, grampa?"

    6 permission mean read+write, but no execution rights. So you cannot execute any commands and system bricks itself.

    Sorry, that's a huge turn off. Filesystem perms exist for a reason and should be respected

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

    Yeah, this is modern day slutshaming

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

    Back in my early days of Linux I ran this exact command, I forget why, but for some reason my WiFi stopped working immediately after and then SELinux started yelling at me for some reason. I tried to fix SELinux and most certainly commited an innumerable amount of cardinal sins.

    I had to reinstall whatever distro I was running at the time

    Does anyone else pronounce it "schmod"?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

    Never have.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

    Nope. Sorry lol.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I pronounce it spelling out only C H, but spelling them in my native language, so it sounds like "chee akka mod" and of course the same goes for "chee akka own"

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

    Yup same, β€œsΓ© ash mod” here o/

    Most Linux filesystems, being case sensitive, won't find the SUDO command.

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    With alias all things are possible.

    alias SUDO='sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root'

    If you shout at your shell, it refuses to listen

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

    Glad I'm not the only one that thinks like this.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

    CHMOD command does not exist either. It's just the meme's font that is in all caps.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Taking the term open sourced to a whole new level!

    Everybody has permissions!

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

    It's still not really open-source until you open up all the ports now don't you think?
