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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.

    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.

    I was gonna come in here and say "Joe Biden" but i couldn't figure out how to turn it into a reference to the government spying on people.

    I don't know when I'll next get the opportunity to ask this, so

    How do people pronounce this: "gee lib cee" or "glib cee"?

    I have the same question about clang

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    idk what the official pronunciation is, but i say "gee lib cee" and "clang" (like the onomatopoeia)

    No libs on my system, only leftists allowed 😀😀😀

    Having maintained Linux systems for over a decade, I instantly distrust anyone who claims they understand Linux regardless of what they say next.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

    I have 20 years of Linux experience. I tell people 'I know a few things.'

    Would never say I know everything or understand everything though.

    Just like an xkcd comic I expect to see someone reply that has 30 years experience or something.

    Name em?

    find / -type f -perm -a=x -exec ldd {} 2>/dev/null \;

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

    It solves the problem but you get several megabytes of output, better pipe that into a file and do some filtering and finish with sort -u

    Why would you want dynamic linking? Afraid you will change your mind?

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

    This seems really cool!

    But dynamic linking saves space AFAIK

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    It also makes updating easier. When a lib has a bug it can be fixed by updating one package. If every application on your system was statically linked, each one of these would have to be updated individually.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    But then you definitely wouldn't have errors with different apps requiring different versions of the same library.

    But then you definitely wouldn’t have errors with different apps requiring different versions of the same library.

    That's why libfoo.so.1.2.3, libfoo.so.1.2.4, libfoo.so.1.3.9, etc. exist. Flatpak also exists. Just link to a specific version of a freedesktop.org Runtime.

    Because static linking everything sucks.

    pkg-config --list-all

    The bar is too low

    Praise be pkg-config

    Why is Lib capitalized when Linux is case sensitive and Lib files aren't a thing?

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    xbps-query -l | grep -i 'lib'

    Reminds me of an interview i was in. I was like, this isn't even in my job description... 7 interviews later. Come to find out, they were HAND DEPLOYING Linux servers to try to scale for double of their user base. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

    None. I use Gentoo and everything is compiled statically.

    We clearly need a "Periodic Table Song", but for libs. πŸ˜…

    ls -R /usr/lib/

    Easy

    I named most of them Marlin Jr, and Coral Jr, but I guess we can name one of them Nemo.
