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.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    cat is actually used to concatenate files so if you have two files that you want to merge into a third one you can do

    cat file1 file2 > file3

    Especially useful for cracking old games

    HE SAID IT'S ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR CRACKING OLD GAMES!

    [–] clemdemort@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    I've used cat to actually concatenate files a lot to re-assemble old Wii games once they were copied to a SIM card, less than using it to see inside a file though. Maybe cracked isn't the correct word I'm not English lol.

    Always remove the French language pack

    never execute "sudo rm -r / --no-perserve-root" because you whole sytem will be gone edit i forgot the directory

    [–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    the -delete option in find goes AFTER the expression.

    find -delete [whatever] will delete EVERYTHING in the current directory and below, like rm -rf *

    [–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

    Huh. I wonder if GNU find should be modified, so that -delete only works when explicitly given a directory.

    [–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    This shouldnt do anything since you didn't gave it a directory to start with.

    [–] nogrub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    oh yeah i forgot a /
