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!

    Or the router, in another state, and the person with access to the closet/server room knows how to push a few buttons at best.

    That happens once… and you get misconfigophobia for life.

    FYI with many routers, switches, and firewalls there are ways to automatically rollback changes in case the device is unreachable after applying them. Usually the command is called something like "Rollback".

    You usually supply a time limit when you run the command and if you don't confirm the changes before that time limit it will rollback. So if you run rollback 30 and then do something which breaks the network connection, the config will rollback in 30 seconds. If it does work, you simply cancel the rollback.
