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!

    This really isn't dangerous unless you already screwed up badly. If it wipes, you just restore from backup/DR.

    You do have backups and a DR plan for your prod servers, right?

    Didn't some company have a script running that would randomly kill stuff to always test redundancies?

    I vaguely recall someone telling me that about netflix

    I vaguely remember reading a news story about a firefighter that did that a while ago.

    Sure do! They're on the prod servers and were one of the first things deleted!

    the backup was connected via /media/backups so that's gone too!
