Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!
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.

Be not afraid, for I bring good news of a functioning CPU and memory, tools to inspect your disks, and as foretold in the time of the smartphone you may even still have Internet access to read all of the documentation.

😁or if you only store OS stuff on your local drive and have all data in your cloud including game saves
And by cloud you mean your server in the basement, right?
Always put the important servers in the attic, where they get fried by the summer heat, instead of the basement, where the flood hits worst.
you could put the server on a floatation device in the basement.
Joke's on you I use my server as pink-noise producers
I have it at my Friends Location and it is backed up on a hetzner clone that we can switch to without interruption if our own ship goes down
Of course running stable debian, 😁 secure stable debian in server distrohoppibg at home

"sudo kms" is such a mood 😭😭😭
I have a server I've abandoned because it does this every time it reboots. Use an old desktop from work instead.
sd-boot or directly booting EFI stubs rocks
