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.

    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.

    It's a lot better than the system that just randomly throws in your USB drives with your SCSI/SAS/SATA/PATA drives. Or the systems that calls everything a SCSI drive when it usually isn't a SCSI drive.

    I thought this was a Wendy's.

    Yeah wasn't it something like SATA and USB got lumped in with the ~~SATA~~ SCSI storage controller or whatever which is why it's practically all /dev/sdx? Back in the days of yore when men were men and sheep were scared there'd be /dev/hdx and /dev/fdx for hard and floppy drives?

    /dev/sdx wasn't originally for SATA, it was for SCSI drives. Back when men were men indeed!

    That is correct, unlike my typo.

    Yes, /dev/hdX was IDE disks.

    It all falls under the SCSI protocol now, they get separated at low level by another driver.
