As a nixOS user, proud to say github is my backup. I like making Microsoft pay for my mistakes.

I just use github for my secrets file, that's what I really don't want to lose. I keep the encryption key in a separate repository of course so no one can just look in and see my passwords.


It also works for important documents. Birth certificate? GitLab repository. (Not GitHub, I lie to Microsoft about my age and don't want them to know.) SSN? GitHub organisation name. Love notes from my high school crush? Duh, obviously I don't want to lose those. They're on the Blockchain, for proof of originality. Bank details? I have a website on Netlify with those. Makes it easy for all those nice foreign gentlemen on the phone to send me money.

  • 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!
