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!

    I had an applicant very obviously read to me that Wikipedia article about Active Directory.

    Knowing how to quickly look something up isn't a bad skill. The problem is when that's all they do

    Sure, look up specific configuration points or architectures, but looking up AD is a bad sign.

    Worse, it was just a generic question about exposure for a low-level position. I.E. Can you tell me what big thing this is used for?

    When in doubt I ask them what RAID 45 is.

    Ooo and there's even a serious looking page "explaining" it as the first result when looking it up on Google

    I'm definitely stealing this idea

    Steal away. An old boss knew the person who maintains that page. If I remember correctly it's entire reason for being is for that one question.
