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 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    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.

    Not pictured: another bottom panel showing the Cloudflare wall of lava lamps https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/

    I thought this was an April fool's article at first.

    I wonder what could be more random than it or more fun examples?

    As far as I know they have done different approaches and not just the lava lamps

    From a quick search:
    Double pendulum system in London
    radioactive decay of a uranium pellet in Singapore

    Your nearest Cloudflare office will also have a similarly chaotic art installation (called the office's "Entropy"), if there's another office closer to you. For example, Austin has a mobile with lot of translucent glass/plastic reflecting and projecting colored light all over the ceiling

    This all sucks. There's nothing more random than a 4-year-old

    Dunno, asked my 4 years old brother for 10 random numbers between 0 and 100 throughout a whole week, most of them were 6, 28 and 50 Funnily enough, there were only 1 number above 50, which was 52... I guess he figured out he was saying too much 50

    [–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

    But there are a lot of quantum processes going on in the atmosphere, no?

    You can change the link of a post after it’s already popular? That seems very exploitable to me :l

    What about buying a book with the random numbers

    multiply the last 2 an n number of times, with n being the result of /dev/urandom Γ· /dev/random
