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!

    According to this super user question, someone said that !! won’t work in a function, so you must use the fc -ln -1 command in a subshell instead. Note the response that says eval shouldn’t be used (not sure why)

    Yeah but instead of a function you just make it an alias.

    Oh good point, I didn’t think about that

    Eval shouldn't be used on userinput. Meaning that if smb other than you may use this to change the system he could put malicious code in the eval part.

    Probably doesn't matter on shell level
