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!

    What a garbage.

    Just use Linux, SELinux, strong sandboxing, repositories, nonexecutable home directories, strong access control, offline backups.

    How about a testing environment separate from production

    [–] cerement@slrpnk.net 20 points 3 months ago (3 children)

    and phased rollouts …

    I watched a ocean of computers go dead on the floor because I couldn't convince the sysadmin to do exactly that when pushing a major change.

    Any more details?

    This sounds like the setup to a fun story.

    Best I can do is push it worldwide on a Friday morning

    [–] luckystarr 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Does that cost money?

    [–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Yes. And time.

    We make a lot more money by testing in production, and let the users tell us what's wrong. It's much faster.

    We've successfully replaced the entire support team with an HTML form creating tickets for the one developer.

    Surefire way to receive that efficiency performance bonus.

    But how do I integrate everything into Microsoft 365 with that snazzy OneDrive feature? /s

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

    You will escort us to sector zero zero one.

    Crowd strike did this to Linux in April.

    [–] Xanvial@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

    Pretty sure it's happened in Linux before, but because it's much less users, obviously it won't have same global outage like what happens now

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

    I mean, I run Fedora and ran many others and had multiple crashes.

    Fedora Atomic Desktops not anymore, but still not perfect.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

    And log monitoring with off machine collections
