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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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.

    What about WSL?

    [–] jet@hackertalks.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I think that's what really killed the cygwin popularity

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

    I used to use Babun at work. Essentially a nice bundle of a bunch of nice stuff for Cygwin.

    It had this package manager but if you updated Cygwin itself then it would break everything. I had to get the Cygwin.dll file from a coworker because the install process downloaded it but I didn't want to reinstall lmao. I remember it being a pain because so many IT things were blocking us trying to share a dll file.

    Still struggle with ipv6, like something from the 1990's

    [–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    Had ipv6 stable with tunnels for years. Even the 1st provider offering ipv6 was using tunnels. All was well, until we needed to switch to SLAAC over pppoe. With creative source based routing, as I didn't want to sacrifice my tunnels before it was stable, I never could get it to work.

    Years later, new provider, same technique, same ipv6 tunnels as main ipv6 option, I just gave up, SLAAC proved to unstable/unreliable in my setup. (Probably my doing, but I just can't get that route to reliably recover after a pppoe reset)
