Glad to see an accessible post of Iranian history

As someone who is an AUR maintainer with at least 150+ packages, I always dread seeing new AUR packages. A lot of people don't read the packaging guidelines, don't use tools like `namcap` and `extra-x86-64-build` to test their packages, nor do they read other PKGBUILDs to write their stuff. It's pure slop, and I have wasted too much of my time fixing shitty PKGBUILDs because I wanna use that piece of software

First time I saw the word Dank in the Big 26

More like some toolkits have really poor wayland support (cough anything GTK/Gnome cough)

LibreOffice works for me on wayland lol. I don't know why you would wanna do fractional scaling on a per app basis whenever you got one screen. But, for your libreoffice woes, try using a different backend?

Libreoffice includes support for gtk3, gtk4, Qt6, and other backends: https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/master/vcl/README.m...

Maybe you need to try wayland with an alternative backend?

Wayland supports HDR, it's very easy to configure VRR, and it's fractional scaling (if implemented properly) is far superior to anything X11 can offer.

Furthermore, all of these options can be enabled individually on multiple screens on the same system and still offer a good mix-used environment. As someone who has been using HiDPI displays on Linux for the past 7 years, wayland was such a game changer for how my system works.

You could use techniques like HPLC to determine the concentrations within the sample if you know what's in it.

Couldn't WD-40's formula be reverse engineered using analytical chemical techniques? GC-MS, NMR, etc.

The clergy weren't explicitly backing the Shah, they were just fearful of anything like communism happening, since most communist countries/communists are aesthetes.

Iranian clergy as an institution starting coming into political power, really, around the time of the Russian-Persian wars, were one of the highest ranking Shia scholars in Iran issues a fatwa supporting the war against Russia.

I fear so much for the future of Iran. Iran needs to decide its future, free from outside powers. Iran's entire 20th and 21st centuries of paranoia and strife can be traced back to, partly (imo mostly), to British, Russian, and eventually American interference, meddling, and domination in the 19th, 20th, and 21st century respectively.

Iran will never have a happy store as long as it remains an "interests" for greater powers.

Make sure you're using pipewire. If your bluetooth headphones require Bluetooth LE, make sure it's enabled in the bluez settings. Also, make sure your bluetooth adapter supports Bluetooth LE.

I remember looking for Crucial DDR5 SODIMMS at Microcenter a month ago. There was barely any stock and only a few sticks left. I talked to the sales associate at the counter, and he let me known that RAM prices were increasing. As an aside, I was eyeing this ram for a month before getting it. Hearing what he said made me go for it.

Also, I feel bad for the aftermarket market. Crucial was always the best option for upgrades to OEM systems or laptops.

Reminds of me being a hospital resident, but instead of saving patients lives and increasing the profit of the hospital's shareholders, you're just increasing the profit of the fab's shareholders.

> I also had a similar problem a while back. Some speedtests showed more bandwidth than I could get in regular HTTPS downloads. I could get multiple downloads running at the same time that in total added up to the expected speed

Yes, this is behavior I am seeing on my end too. On Arch Linux, I enabled parallel downloads for updates via pacman. Whenever updating my system, I can saturate my connection, but as soon as I get down to one huge package, like wallpapers or rocm-llvm, the download speed for that package is only 8 MB/s.

Ok, thank you! I'm gonna gather as much documentation as I can.

Considering the fact that I get full speeds everywhere whenever I'm using a VPN, am I right to assume that there is an issue with AT&T's internal routing? And, that issue doesn't effect every path? I'm not really an expert at doing networking stuff, but I wanna gather as much empirical data to construct a report and do statistical tests n stuff.

I got a problem with my AT&T Fiber service at the house. We pay for a 500 Mbps plan, and I can get 600 Mbps up and down via ethernet on speedtest (probably due to over provisioning). However, I can only download stuff about 8 MB/s from most places. I believe this to be an internal issue as whenever I connect to any VPN service, I can get the full 600 Mbps. Furthermore, some servers are able to serve me at full speed, but this is rare. Usually GitHub git servers can upload to me at full speed, while GitHub tar balls are uploaded to me at about 8 MB/s.

Seeing as everyone in here has a lot of bad experiences with ISPs, should I straight up skip attempting to talk with them at all and go for an FCC complaint/government complaint?

APUs have the GPU and CPU on the same package, or sometimes even the same die (with tiling). If there was to be an Nvidia GPU and AMD CPU type system, they would have to be separate packages.

I've switched devices and had my Signal history and identity carry over. Signal does do chat backups.

If only Signal wasn't blocked/banned in Iran without a proxy...

I love this era of BMW interiors. The warm glow of the red lights from the dash cluster is really cool and nostalgic.

> Iran is Telegram

I don't know about you, but I personally talk with Iranians more on Whatsapp than telegram. I know the Iranian government did ban whatsapp for a while, but its still popular. I remember reading an article on here about a whatsapp leak, and it mentioned that there are over 60 million whatsapp users in Iran. Considering that Iran has a population of around 91 million, that's a huge majority of the country.

I own a steam controller and have been using it for multiple years. It's actually really comfortable with the way it sits in my hand. Far more comfortable than whatever sony had going on with the PS4 dualsense stuff

I often find it easier to read man pages in the browser. Use `man --html=<browser executable>`.

In my experience, handbrake doesn't expose every option from ffmpeg and is more focused on transcoding. One nitpick I have with handbrake is that it doesn't support VAAPI encoding nor Vulkan Video Encoding for AMD cards on Linux.

I know some window developers use use WSL for all of their devving, and they are obviously gonna be working through the terminal.

I use fractional scaling on the desktop (150%) and haven't noticed any performance degradation or unexpected slowness. Do you have any information on what someone should be looking for?

Overall, fractional scaling is the killer feature on KDE Wayland, especially with its XWayland integration. Whenever I use fractional scaling in GNOME, XWayland gets a resolution that is way higher than my actual display. I believe it is done so in a way (I could go be wrong) where XWayland gets a 2X resolution of whatever the fractional scaling resolution is, so it can be down sampled to the fractional scaling resolution simply. This results in me having to change the resolution in my games, which a lot of them don't support custom resolutions. Then, I have to use gamescope, which has shitty mouse input and increase performance degradation, especially on a laptop APU.

I maintain the AUR package for this. `mcpelauncher-linux` and `mcpelauncher-ui`. If you just do a simple `paru -S mcpelauncher-ui`, it should build just fine.

For me personally, blender uses ROCm and ROCm hiprt for Cycles tracing and cycles raytracing acceleration. I am using a Radeon RX 6800 and AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, and it works on Linux. ROCm HIPRT really does speed up cycles rendering (at the cost of more Vram usage). Of course, using the AMD driver on Linux, you get access to the system's RAM with GTT.

Konsole from KDE is under the GPL/LGPL license.

The AUR targets Arch Linux only and I don't wanna run into the chance of there being a mismatch of packages I'm using and what other people r using. It makes it easier for me to ensure that, for example, the versions of the libraries I'm compiling against actually work. Like, if there is a library update in the arch repos that doesn't hit the cachyos repos by the time I do a build, it could have issues.

There is an arch x86-64-v3 repo, but I found it to be very far behind in terms of the most current packages, and I've experienced bugs with it.
