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!

    ๐Ÿคจfor what exactly is a printer needed in 2024?

    Hard copies. You should always keep hardcopies of your most important documents, financial records and certifications. Especially when users can be locked out of a cloud storage these days because an AI decided to flag their account.

    Same. But I still keep critical paper work in a fireproof safe, just in case.

    Jesus invented thumbdrives and HDDs SSDs etc for this very reason, the cloud is just my offsite back up of that... having been kicked off "the cloud" by MS some years ago, fcuk those guys.

    I recently learned that SSDs do not reliably store data for long amounts of time when unpowered.

    When I can't wrap my head around a technical document or journal article, I print it. My brain craves paper. I'm a software engineer, so believe me that I would be live inside the computer if I could.

    ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I definitely read better on my smartphone than on big paper, I always get lost if the medium is too large..

    Maybe thatโ€™s just my age๐Ÿค”

    I've heard cybersec guys say they print off things like recovery codes and keep the physical copy stored. Also, entire governments still run on pen and paper (shitty inefficient governments).

    " And every citizen thatโ€™s living in this city Is a digit on the charts weโ€™re climbing Political systems are too inefficient They split like the atom and burned in the fission Now every department and every decision Defer to the herds of our corporate divisions " shitty inefficient governments are probably better than otherwise
