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!

    I found out that this tool http://www.convertlit.com/ provides a program with a funny name. I wonder if there are similar programs with offensive names or puns like this one. For example, I remember reading a fortune output saying something along the lines of

    man Why did you get divorced? 
man: Too many arguments.

    And of course, there is the cliche touch grass.

    My go-to joke is

    cat /dev/urandom | pxz | grep haxx

    Or if you want to be nasty

    setsid sh -c 'cat /dev/urandom | pacat -p'

    As for puns, less command does the same thing as more on MS-DOS.

    What those two commands do?

    [–] pelya@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

    The first one is a fancy CPU warmer. The second one will play loud noise through your headphones, and setsid will make sure you can't stop it with Ctrl-C.

    There was a thread about console commands seen in movies or TV, when the actors need to do some 'hacking' on camera. And the most common one was just installing updates to your Linux distribution of choice.
