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.

    Huh?

    I don't think that's how that works.

    Wouldn't that reduce testosterone and increase estrogen?

    Manually installing feels more :3 to me ngl.

    "Low estrogen in men can lead to increased belly fat, reduced muscle mass, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and mood changes"

    Oh shit, it's true!

    [–] KernelTale@programming.dev 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    See, it's totally cis to take estrogen injections!

    [–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

    Low estradiol in men is generally treated with testosterone replacement though. Since testosterone is processed into estradiol in the body, the effects of the low estradiol listed above are pretty much the same as low testosterone. In most (there are edge cases and iatrogenic causes of course) men the lower levels of estradiol are d/t low testosterone levels.

    archinstall?

    Back in my day, we needed to do all of that by hand, and there wasn't even arch-chroot, no, we had to bind mount dev, proc and and sys manually as well!

    Though in fairness, before that, there was the AIF, which I also used, but that doesn't sound so manly.

    I found people that shared their minimalist arch install scripts and just copied and pasted through a ssh shell

    ruled I ruled afternoon! Took a little longer to get everything going and when I was done, I used that install for like 10 years

    Am I just stupid? I thought the official method was still pacstrap then chroot!

    [–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    The official way is to use endeavouros

    [–] ArfArfWoof@europe.pub 8 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

    Hurr durr, technical blabber about why you need to reject modern conveniences and install from punchcards!

    [–] HexaBack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

    punchcards? heh, newb. i flip switches on a kit computer to compile arch linux entirely from mental math

    /s

    [–] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 3 points 6 hours ago

    I find it funny that you added the /s at the end as if thats possible. But it is arch we at taking about so someone with high socks and adhd can prove me wrong.
