2. Be civil
- 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

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.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
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.

I'm reading a lot of personal blogs that don't use JS at all, or at least are still functional with JS blocked. A somewhat surprising amount of websites work without it.
The issue with JS is that while I assume that your use of JS is relatively minimal and you're not malicious, I don't know that, and even if you're not actively malicious, your site might still be compromized by exploited JS vulnerabilities, site hacks or uninformed/negligent choices of third party libraries/plugins/CDNs (NPM is notorious for supply chain attacks and lots of otherwise alright sites include font CDNs or even analytics). I'm not super anal about not using any site that doesn't work without JS, but having it off by default is definitely good practice and sometimes I do decide that I don't want to see a site that badly.
Although I don't have any illusions that my website can't be hacked what I can tell you is that nothing on there is standard. Every single inch of my website is custom made by myself (graphics, code, music, everything) and since its closed off (there's no posting on it, nor any SQL) I THINK its relatively safe. I do strive to do that, heck it doesn't even write any cookies. (I did that deliberately since we have the cookie law around here, and I decided to go overboard and not have any cookies on AmigaCam at all, stateless)
I do agree with you though, I mean one can never be too safe.
The security issues are the reason that, if I do decide to enable javascript, it's in a disposable whonix qube. Which is basically what the bottom left panel of the meme is describing. Whereas the bottom right describes my general lack of desire to enable it at all.
Quite sensible!
