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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β

    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 remove France.

    side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is "fuck". When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it's correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it's usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn't even use AI, just a list of common errors. It's been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.

    Its name is dangerously close to fsck. Can you fuck fsck?

    That's the beauty of it - you can!

    For people that don't get the joke: this messes up your system

    [–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

    If you're out of the loop: this is part of the joke tricking people into dedicating precious hard drive space to an unnecessary language pack.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Now a days you have add β€”no-preserve root after the laggy French pack to fully remove it.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

    Not with the asterisk! The shell automatically expands the asterisk before sending the args to rm, removing every French language pack in your root directory.

    I prefer to use kudasai ... but as some may already know, it should be at the end of the ~~sentence~~ command πŸ˜…, so I added a custom hook to my ZSH config to make it run commands as pacman -Syu kudasai.

    Essentially you can add any type of string matching in the function. Add this to the end of your .zshrc file:

    function kudasai_preexec() {
        # Check if the last word is ' kudasai'
        if [[ $1 == *" kudasai" ]]; then
            # Remove ' kudasai' and prepend 'sudo'
            cmd=${1%" kudasai"}
            eval "sudo $cmd"
            # Prevent the original command from running
            return 1
        fi
    }
    
    # Register the preexec hook
    autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
    add-zsh-hook preexec kudasai_preexec
    

    Edit: as downside you always get 1 exit code with this implementation ~(little_annoying)~ .
