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

  • 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.

    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.

    "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 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months 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.

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

    [–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    The official way is to use endeavouros

    Consider the jimmies in this thread rustled

    [–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 0 points 2 months ago

    Endeavor makes you horny? Very strange. OP's picture would disagree.

    [–] Laser@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

    Almost, as I said, arch-chroot didn't exist back then, and while the official method is still manual, archinstall is part of the official ISO, while back then, no helper was provided, so you had to do it manually.

    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

    [–] ArfArfWoof@europe.pub 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

    [–] HexaBack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 months 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 7 points 2 months 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.

    Real sysadmins use butterflies.

    Programmers use butterflies.

    Real sysadmins use programmers.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Huh?

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

    Wouldn't that reduce testosterone and increase estrogen?

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    Manually installing feels more :3 to me ngl.

    How else can you use OOP?

    The code is manually embedding bash to comments as Makefile and using pointer arithmetic to access private fields.
