I suppose lack of RTL support would be show stopping, so I’d have to wait for that first. Thanks for the hard work!

Yeah I was familiar with that one and spoke with the creator. Unfortunately they had trouble with adoption because r/Arabs refused to let them advertise. They also were not federated.

No, not at all.

What I think is lacking is an Arabic-speaking space and Arab-related discussions.

It’s not. I think you misread what I said, and I already explained to you that it isn’t. It’s to have an Internet space for Arabs. My mention of the Palestinian cause is using it to motivate people to move over to Lemmy, in light of the censorship against Arabs.

This is not meant to be an anti Israel lemmy. It is an Arab lemmy.

I don’t think it is harmful to give people the option to spaces primarily speaking about local matters and concerns, and primarily occupied by local people. It does not take away the other spaces.

We are already in an age where it is almost impossible to undo globalization, and nothing I do will prevent those who frequent mixed and international spaces (or more accurately Western dominated spaces) from doing this. It is only giving them a place that didn’t exist before for content they couldn’t post or read elsewhere.

Most of the world already has this. I don’t think Arabs having it will be harmful.

I think you misunderstand my intentions. An Arabic lemmy instance is not aimed at isolation. People will be able to ineract with us without issue, and we will interact with them (federation will be open). The only purpose is to have a space where we are free of corporate censorship, and a space where you (whether an Arab or not) will find many other arabs, rather than most of the internet that is English-speaking, and most of the remainder speaking a west european language.

If anything, this would de-isolate Arabs. The primary Arabic speaking spaces on the internet are networks of friends on Facebook, isolated from the rest of the world. At least this way you can find us, and see that we are normal human beings (as unfortunately some racists in the western world are surprised to find that out) and you can talk with us.

The small existing Arab spaces that are accessible to the outside world is cringy, unserious, terminally online memers that ruin our image and do not represent us. Probably many of them are 4chan-ers

Which is exactly what this UN resolution is about.

It’s a post about Reddit attitudes in c/Reddit. What other kind of content would you expect here?

It’s acquire bad reason imo. If anything, the resolution is very forgiving. It could literally pass and nothing absolutely change, yet they still chose to vote against it.

But they literally define which rights those are. There is no “natural” base, it’s just whichever they decided to protect (and often times even those are infringed upon)

If someone came to me and said “someone just murdered your parents who live in another country”, and I asked for proof. Your inclination is “this guy loves to see photos of dead parents”? Or is it that “this guy wants evidence that this random stranger’s claim is true”?

The meme is poking fun at the fact that this event never happened, and there’s no evidence of it.

I obviously am not happy to watch decapitated children. The meme is poking fun at the fact that Israel lied about this incident.

It is a meme yes. Just because it tackles a current even doesn’t change that.

Israel already admitted there’s no evidence, and withdrew it.

From my understanding, it is okay if a stage3 archive does not exist for your target. Make sure to pick the closest one. Your approach seems right imo. I am not sure if hardened or LLVM is better though.

My understanding is that a stage3 is kind of a starting point. In many cases you can switch profiles, and all that will happen is it will just have to do more compilation to get there. Choosing the closest stage3 saves you time in that initial compile.

But some profile switches can cause trouble. For example, switching between glibc and musl may not work. But switching between, say, non-desktop to desktop is perfectly fine.

I don’t think there’s any significant downsides. I suppose you are dependent on their infrastructure and uptime. If they ever go down, or for any reason stop offering their services, then you’re out of luck. But yeah that’s not significant.

The reason I want to do this is it gives me more control over the setup in case I ever wanted to customize it or the wireguard config, and also teaches me more in general, which will enable me to better debug.

I use gentoo, so my swap is pretty large because it often compiles from source. I have it at 16 GB for my raspberry pi and 32 GB for my pc. I think I’ll be bumping up the raspberry pi to 32
