- 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

- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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.

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.

Disempower users until they stop leaking leaking data.
Infantilise users until they stop clicking random links in shitty phishing emails.
Disempower power users until they can’t create security incidents by running shittily patched shadow IT on random open ports.
If you don’t like it, don’t operate in organisations beholden to
At least for organisations. As a private individual, I want my wide open ports on a public static IP at home.
That this even exists, is another reason why we need to switch to ipv6. There will be no maintaining "reputation lists" for 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses
Very easy to solve - just make the entire IPv6 address space have low reputation. (/s)
Yes, by default they will all have to be. So if you want any internet, you will have to allow strangers to communicate to you. You will have to be not a savage about it. But you will also have to be able to block outright abuse. So IDS, IPban, dns blocking, anti fish proxy, client side certificate and "drop all" as the default firewall policy. And compared to nat4, you'll be opening ports rather than forwarding them.
All this except ids is already standard issue in openwrt.
