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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.

    sudo apt install sl

    Thank me later

    I'm officially done with Google, I think. Search results for 'sl' were nothing useful. But the AI response takes the cake.

    "SL" can refer to several things, but in the context of Ida-Viru County, it most likely refers to Stockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), the public transportation system in the Stockholm area.

    I don't live in that county, not even close tbh. And even if I did, how would the public transit system in another country, across a sea, be all that relevant to me?

    I now used an actual search engine to find this article and will install it, except I don't think I'll see it all that much because I don't think I've ever misspelled 'ls' as 'sl' :(

    I remember people groaning in the CS lab in college when they realized they hadn't locked their machine before walking away for just long enough to let someone install sl.

    They left a root session open? Then they really deserved it.

    Oh, maybe it was just the sl binary downloaded somewhere.

    Logging in on the high school computers there was a way through some folder tree into the wallpapers of all the teacher accounts. Boy did we have fun with that, they never found out who did it though

    I am a menace around unlocked computers. Was at a job and found a colleague who left his computer unlocked and had customer information open in a co working space on his screen. Set his computer language to hebrew before locking it.

    Another time in college I found an unlocked computer in a library. Set their profile picture to Chris Chan with an overlay image saying "#ThisIsMyAuthenticSelf #Unafraid". On this system, the user was not likely to see their own picture, but other people they contact will.

    Couple of jobs back, the custom was to either set the background image to something disgusting and borderline NSFW, or go on the equivalent of Slack that we used and announce "I'm getting everyone pizza tomorrow" for them. The latter was considered just punishment for a security violation.

    You used to be able to set a web site as a background on windows XP.

    I used that to terrible effect

    I used to set default webpages on display models in stores to direct competitors sites.

    Make sure to add “Defaults insults” to /etc/sudo while you’re at it.
