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!

    When I did that, I used veeam to create the VM backup files to disc, then called a script to compress and encrypt the files, then called a second script to copy the encrypted files to tape. It worked really well. I used the free veeam license, so backup to tape wasn't included, but copy to tape was.

    E: FinalBoy1975 seemed to have invented something that could be the solution, but they used masking tape, which I found tears easily. Now, if they'd use scotch tape, we'd be golden hahahaa
