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!

    Spreading the word of IEC units: it's "1.46 TiB" and "200 MiB" btw.

    You can pry binary-based terabytes from my cold dead hands

    Except when it is actually decimal

    Yeah, that why IEC units carry only one meansing. It's all that stupid JEDEC that standardized SI units to binary multiples. Dumbest shit I've ever seen.

    When you make up new words - see 'fetch' - you can decide it means everything you want.

    Doesn't mean that validating hard drive vendors' scams is somehow right to do.

    Which scams? HDD/SSD AFAIK use SI units so that checks out for me.
