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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Good old git blame lol! Not only can you determine when the change was made and where, it’s trivial to look up the author of the commit: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/commit/562e0d570d93cfcfdebab1215a2f04efa64a24f8

    To be fair, the author’s first language may not be English…

    Is anyone interested in submitting a pull request? Looks like Github contributions are accepted.

    My dude. It's not a bug, OP just used small i instead of capital. Please don't bother developers over this.

    I think descriptive and useful error messages are OK to report as enhancements. They don’t have to be functional bugs.

    There might be a reason it was never fixed. Something stupid like a lot of 30 year old scripts relying on this out come. Hope not, you're right that error message is ass
