Welp... that was quick (around 4 minutes to get banned at "/c/linuxsucks)...

https://lemmy.world/post/48373187/24337188

It's sorrowful some people choose to hate, complain, ridicule, and block everything that does not fit their choice...

With just a single idea shared, a lone message posted in a community, with your finite priceless time and experience invested, you may get banned instantly, and permanently, instead of actually learning and discover together...


The single message that resulted in my immediate permanent ban:

::: spoiler Message It's not Linux, but your distribution, or you, what makes it "unsafe".
There are numerous options to harden your Linux environment, and it's relatively trivial to keep it safer if you ever want it, or actually stop blaming and complaining.

For example, to limit the access for root or custom group hwaccess, without much fuss but to give you an idea, for the most popular distros as Debian-based:

  1. Add a Udev rule:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hwaccess.rules

KERNEL=="mem",        GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="spidev",  GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev", GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
  1. Set at boot:
setfacl -Rm 'g:hwaccess:rwX' -- \
    /sys/kernel/debug/ec \
    /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/config;

You may then setup SELinux, AppArmor, and secure it via SecureBoot's shim, too.
Yet, you chose to effortlessly complain instead... :::

You broke the comm’s rules:

Rules:

  1. FOSS (especially GPL) advocates and Linux (specifically GNU/Linux) evangelists aren't welcome (GNU Hurd will count as Linux). -We ask that you block us and we will perma-ban for violations of this rule.

That is entirely on you.

Oh... I see... Thank you!
I could not even imagine such a rule when I noticed the post at home page of LemmyWorld instance, and commented on it... ^^"

I wonder, what will happen when the mods of the community realize their server doesn't use FreeBSD or something? Self-termination?

limer@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 58d (1 reply)

Ydi, you spoke reason in a troll community that has rules that any tech savvy person could see as a danger sign.

Don’t feed the trolls

madthumbs@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 55d

Reason? Do you see this advice on noob or help communities for Linux? Is it actually honest? (no) You all go around preaching and evangelizing, then blaming the user when they fail and it doesn't live up to your grand endorsements.

YDI for feeding the troll.

Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 58d (1 reply)

Oh no. Anyway

artwork@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 58d

Yes, indeed... it was just... unexpected to get banned in just 4 minutes participating in that community... ^^"
Though, re-considering the purpose of the community, it may be...

Linux gives userspace access to /dev/mem /dev/spidev I²C/SMBus EC registers and PCI config space which is terrible for safety.

I might be ignorant, but isnt that information technically different per distro?

artwork@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 58d (2 replies)

Of course it is! Thank you! And hence mentioned it in the comment, too!

Harvey656@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 58d (1 reply)

There's been a ton of antis recently spreading straight up misinformation.

Saw one recently saying anticheats dont work on linux because the apps can't run root. Which is massively wrong. Weirdos.

just wait until they find out that you have to literally use a exploit to load your own kernel drivers on windows

frongt@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 58d

Yeah I mean technically PTB, but it's a community specifically for that, so what did you expect?

csolisr@hub.azkware.net · 2 pts · 58d (1 reply)

Do they happen to have the same moderators as the subreddit? Because they're also famous for being trigger-happy with the ban-hammer

madthumbs@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 55d

"they actually enforce the rules" -cope harder.
