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!

    really just doesn’t do what I needed to do.

    This has been my experience, or sort of does what I want it to do, but I have to rethink what I need it to do instead of something really simple. Like a "new type of shared file system" that replaces NFS/Windows sharing. So instead of files in a standard file system one can manage with a file browser, it has "indexed" your files in such a way that the actual files are renamed into data chunks, and one "finds" files by their non-intuitive search engine that can't do even basic search engine tricks like "AND/OR" searches, wildcards, and the results are hit and miss. "But it's faster and more elegant!" So how do you restore from backup when the system fails? "When the system does whatnow?"

    Yeah, no thanks. I can recover files from a file system much easier than some proprietary encoded bullshit fronted with a bad search engine over a proprietary and buggy index.

    I asked the other week if anyone made a system that left files alone and just indexed them and gave you a place to store meta without moving them. Options do seem to exist, but they need LOTS of extra work
