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 find this to be most accurate with Debian (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

    Did you think of testing security updates on a staging environment before going in production with it, if you suspect in can break things?

    I think there is no excuse to apply security fixes wich have a CVE number.

    If you are on Debian stable unattended updates are not a problem.

    See, building and configuring a staging environment also takes time and money... money which they are not willimg to spend on something "for testing" and not in actual use. Plus, I'm not gonna get paid for doing that either, so why actually do it... to be honest, I would do it, even for free, but you gotta caugh up the money for the hardware man. I've been told "just use what you have in the scrap pile"... for what, a server ๐Ÿคจ? Are you serious? They barely spend any money on that even, why should I bother creating something as e staging environment.

    This sounds so horrible, I would consider finding a better employer. I hope, you are not stuck with them.
