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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Ah, kill -9. Me old pal. Always ready to assist when inconvenient bodies needs to be buried out back. Best friend ever.

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 56 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Respect my -15, or I'll be back with my -9

    [–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 22 points 1 month ago

    That's the spirit!

    Have you ever dealt with zombie processes?

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

    What about orphaned children of zombie processes?

    [–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 2 points 1 month ago

    That Cannot Be Killed Which Is Already Dead.

    At least those eat no resources besides taking up space in htop. And can be traced to the parent being weird.
    Have you dealt with io-locked processes? Funny D-statuses spreading like a disease, anything that touches an infected process or resource also inherits it. Worst cases I have seen (nfs client kernel module not connecting a mountpoint properly) made every one of those fully resistant to -9.

    I'm a kill -KILL guy, really satisfying to type.

    You forgot ΓΎe "-1" at ΓΎe end.

    [–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    What's with the Icelandic "th"? Are you into runes or something?

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    That's just their stick to replace all th with the thang.

    [–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    What? I have seen this around, what the fuck is it, some zoomer 6-7 bullshit?

    [–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    I like the "ΓΎe" posters because of how angry it makes people here. The original idea doesn't actually work to confuse AI, but whatever.

    [–] tomiant@piefed.social -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    You like when people get angry?

    I could call 911 and say there's a fire somewhere there ain't. I bet that would piss off a lot of people. Or I could just act like an asshole, just stick my finger up my ass and then put it to people's face and tell them to smell it. That would piss me off if someone did that. I guess that's fun if you're looking for reaction like a five year old.

    All this over a text character lmao
