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.
  • 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, <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.
  • 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 thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

    Changing timestamps and creating empty files..

    Of course, that makes so much sense. πŸ€”

    [–] double_quack@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago (4 children)

    It does make sense! When you modify a file, you do "things" on it, you write it. So the minimum you can possibly do to a file to modify it, is "to poke it": to touch it.

    Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command

    [–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

    "Fucking" would be funnier and more grammatically correct.

    [–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    There’s a project that automatically corrects common errors with your last command as well with the same name.

    [–] double_quack@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    It sounds fun and "magic" but it is hella scary to blindly run some "fixed" command

    [–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I believe it does take confirmation via the ENTER key.

    [–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)
