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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Immediately noticed even though the packages have been out for over a month?

    Easily could have stolen a ton of information in that month.

    Yeah but tbf it was deployed on mostly rolling release and beta releases.

    No enterprise on prod is worried because they're still on RHEL 6 /s

    [–] kopasz7@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Why the /s? We are migrating our host to RHEL7 since months.

    we've skipped 7 and are jumping straight to 8. The process has been going on for two years now. 9 was released 2 years ago

    [–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

    Ours goes to 11.

    My innocent home lab bum thought 4 years would be enough to assume people got off of an EOLd distro lol

    Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn't be the first back door that's live in Linux systems.

    On what? Servers using Arch Linux? Debian Unstable? Fedora 40?

    [–] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Phew, thankfully everyone follows appropriate procedures and doesn't just roll out beta updates to production in their systems.

    Right?

    I hope so lol. At that point that is natural selection though.
