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!

    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.

    What did you use in place of the built in firewall?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Nothing, because I'm behind a router

    It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.

    My router has a firewall. There's no point in double firewalling

    There is if one of them doesn't do the job properly.

    No, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. Why not 3 firewalls in case two fail?

    I'm not allowing programs in two places "just in case" what a ridiculous suggestion
