Thcdenton, What does chmod do?
stoicmaverick, My pet theory is that it is a weapon designed for me personally to shorten my lifespan by means of elevated blood pressure while I try and set up and maintain an instance of paperless-ngx via docker compose and a Wi-Fi document scanner.
Thcdenton, Jesus Christ I just threw up in my mouth a little.
0x4E4F, 
It changes the mood. One o is missing from it because the main dev was Russian and really bad at spelling in English.
Thcdenton,
pelotron,

0x4E4F, Linus Is Nuts, Use Xtreme caution.
Petter1, Why do some specific Nvidia grafic cards require that you use legacy BIOS to start up your linux, while it works flawlessly on macOS using EFI??
0x4E4F, Because Apple has money and revenue, and Linux doesn’t.
Petter1, 😮 I did not expect such accurate answers, lol
victorz, Which cards?
stoicmaverick, It’s easiest if I just link you to the Wikipedia article on money. Here
poinck, What is flatpak?
possiblylinux127, A packaging format for linux
0x4E4F, You sure you don’t know anything about Linux 🤨?
0x4E4F, A really flat pancake.
Sheeple, 
A flapjack is a comic character
stoicmaverick, It’s a type of Kool-Aid that everybody’s been drinking recently
0x4E4F, (edited ) My appoligies, this answer is more correct than mine.
JackGreenEarth, How do I set up a VNC server from my Manjaro machine? If anyone wants to give a real answer I’d appreciate that too!
0x4E4F, The real asnwer is, you don’t. Manjaro is an Italian based distro, and we all know how much Italians work in real life, so this distro doesn’t really work either. Your best choice is to ditch Manjaro and use TempleOS for your VNC server.
unionagainstdhmo, 
If you’re on GNOME I believe there’s a remote desktop option in settings under sharing which might set it up for you
JackGreenEarth, I can only see ssh sharing there, no remote desktop option. And I am using GNOME.
unionagainstdhmo, It looks like Manjaro doesn’t install the necessary components by default. Found a thread on the Manjaro forum that’s a few years old but apparently all you need to do is install a package:
<span style="color:#323232;">sudo pacman -S gnome-remote-desktop </span>Otherwise there are plenty of other options out there like Remmina
ryannathans, Nice instance
unionagainstdhmo, Right back at ya
sleen, What’s the cp command?
Sheeple,
brckd, it sends your files directly to the communist party of china
0x4E4F, It does creepy pedo things on your files.
acockworkorange, Except for PDF files, they’re kindred spirits.
0x4E4F, (edited ) Yes, they’re the only exception, though there are efforts to get them working with the cp command.
deathbird, xfce: what should it stand for?
lseif, x-face. because using it makes u go X(
laurelraven, Xtra Feral Computing Elements
0x4E4F, X Fucks Custom Enhancements
leaky_shower_thought, how is the x org x server related to x formerly known as twitter?
callyral, 
wayland.social
laurelraven, They’re distant cousins, but they avoid each other at family reunions
0x4E4F, It’s his second cousin from his aunt’s sister in law side.
Snapz, How many orbs do you need to use to make it show the yellow screen?
0x4E4F, 5 to 10, depends on the shade of yellow you’d like to get.
treadful, 
What kernel parameters should I use?
0x4E4F, The parameters that suite your needs.
laurelraven, All of them, just to be sure
HStone32, How do you reverse the bit-stream scalar using the systemd fractional scaling initializer?
stoicmaverick, There’s an EMACS plugin to do it.
0x4E4F, You remove the scalar with pliers, then do some welding work on the initilalizer to get it to the proper shape (systemd is known to have unstandard sizes of shape and size plugs). Then, you chop the bit-stream into single bits and insert them one by one into the initializer, hold them there, then plug the initializer in systemd and let the bits fall in it. EZ
militaryintelligence, What does L.I.N.U.X stand for
Blue_Morpho, Linux Is Not Uni X
Really_long_toes, I like that
0x4E4F, Linus Is Nuts, Use X
vynlwombat, Where is the start button?
isVeryLoud, Top left!
0x4E4F, Right next to the reset button usually.
southsamurai, 
Can Linux be used as a sex toy?
Hellmo_Luciferrari,
southsamurai, Jfc!
unlawfulbooger, If you want to hear someone talk about penetration testing (heh) these things:
DEF CON 27: Adventures in smart buttplug penetration testing (semi-NSFW obviously)
Artyom, Good thing it’s written in rust. Memory leaks and race conditions are my two biggest fears while buttplug shopping.
0x4E4F, Yes.
marcos, Hum… Ok.
Why does systemd have a directory of active scripts if it needs to activate the scripts on its internal configuration too?
McMonkyNSFW, Ever since the strike ended, the Directors can greenlight any script they want.
0x4E4F, Why do birds fly? Only god knows…
possiblylinux127, Because that’s how it was designed
