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.

    Reverse engineer denuvo and other kernel-level anti-cheat gaming software and use those methods to write a real sudo command.

    It's already been done, it's called PowerRun.

    Nothing special about it, it just runs everything you load into it as TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM.

    I am Jack's extremely surprised brain 🤨.. I share Windows Update Blocker by the same company (well... sorta... I don't think they're a real company) and I constantly get backlash "it's not open source, god knows what it's doing in the background!", even though I have analyzed the binary (to an extent) and never noticed anything malicious about it (and I have shared this as well with the community). BUT, I share this (also closed source) and people thank me 🤨? WTF 🤨...
