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.

    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.

    Debian user here, something wrong with getting the maximum lifespan you can out of devices and keeping them out of landfills?

    Before I upgraded last year, I was still using an i7 from 2010 with 8GB RAM and a 1 TB mechanical spinning drive. I jumped to a 12 core socket AM5 Ryzen 9 with 64GB RAM and a 4TB SSD. When I upgrade, I do it all at once and make sure it can last and actually do use the machine for a decade or more. The one before the i7 (which is now a hand-me-down Minecraft box for my kid) was an Athlon XP from 2002 (still got that one in the basement, any retro collectors wanna clean it out for me? Case comes with big Quake and Nine Inch Nails logo stickers on the front applied by yours truly in my edgier days lol). In the span of 30 years I will have owned exactly three daily driver PCs.

    I am totally this meme. My vehicles seem to follow the same pattern as well. Jumping from a tape deck to a touchscreen was fun.

    ... getting the maximum lifespan you can out of devices and keeping them out of landfills.

    The ultimate coffee device for max lifespan is vietnamese phin filter. $10, will never break.
