Oh, thanks. The site is back online.

This is good news, but the title makes it seem a lot more interesting than it is. Everyone here already uses VPNs for everything, 'cause it’s all banned.

This is weird though, because other distros like Arch, Debian, and their derivatives (even corporate ones (e.g. Manjaro)) were working fine. Even Flathub didn’t require a VPN. isn’t that hosted by Red Hat too?

Site is currently down (undergoing maintenance). What does this even mean? a forum for Syria specifically? a mirror?

If this is a forum or the like shouldn’t it be an Arabic / middle eastern forum? that would make more sense

Both Wayland & Linux try to support Nvidia, but Nvidia wasn’t cooperating. Software, especially software as big as DEs can’t stay tied to old tech & hardware forever.

I’d say GNOME kept X11 around for long enough and Linux worked hard on supporting old fussy hardware.

In Rust and lots of other languages you have to end each statement with a semicolon. The semi colon is usually placed right after the statement, but in this example there’s indentation after each statement before the semicolon so they’re all aligned.

There’s also the curly brackets, they’re padded in the same way, but those usually define where a scope (block) starts and ends making it even worse.

(j/k. fuck no)

There’s already an Egyptian and a Moroccan Wikipedia version. The Qalb language uses the Lebanese dialect. Don’t give them ideas, the threat is real.

There’s also Alef, which I thought was the only Arabic programming language 'till now.

Edit: after searching around, there seems to be lots of Arabic scripting and programming languages, most are discontinued:

• Abjad
• Alef
• Amuriyah
• Ankaa “Phoenix”
• Jeem (Where’s Baa’?)
• Kalimat
• Qalb

In their repo, under “Limine’s Design Philosophy” -> “Why not support filesystem X or feature Y? (eg: LUKS, LVM)”:

The idea with Limine is to remove the responsibility of parsing filesystems and formats, aside from the bare minimum necessities (eg: FAT*, ISO9660), from the bootloader itself. It is a needless duplication of efforts to have bootloaders support all possible filesystems and formats, and it leads to massive, bloated bootloaders as a result (eg: GRUB2). What is needed is to simply make sure the bootloader is capable of reading its own files, configuration, and be able to load kernel/module files from disk. The kernel should be responsible for parsing everything else as it sees fit.
