- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

- 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

4. No recent reposts

locateenjoyers unite.Corporate users in shambles because mlocate.db cannot be generated without root.
Idk why but I've always been a locate enjoyer myself. But find has more usecases.
Like what?
Find can find stuff based on permissions or other variables and interact with files, like delete etc
Locate is just a database of filenames
Grep. Couldn’t live without find exec grep.
You rarely need find with grep if you man grep. Grep does it all.
Grep is going to find all .java files in /home/user/workspace? And then conditionally search them? Not so sure about that.
grep -R --include=\*.java "pattern" /home/user/workspaceIndeed! Covers most of the instances where I would otherwise have to use find.
