  • Imagine Saudi Arabia in 10 + years.

    With all the weapons that they have also purchased from USA, with all the mutual agreements.

    Them being a non human right country, which had abused its own powers. The alliance that it had formed with Iran and China, despite their crimes towards human rights, just as well. We’re in for a hell of a future to deal with, after biden flies away with his golden parachute that is - probably in a far far away land.

    And trump supporters lunatics are going to increasingly think that trump is the solution.

    To hell with them all. And the grand court; what’s it going to do ? Cave in to the masses demands ? It’s a great feat of them, all on its own, to be complicit to all the things that has transpired thus far in the years we have endured without as much voicing their opposition to all of that which is sought to be immoral and unethical by all standards of maintaining human-rights.


  • Back in the day, when the government of Japan banned samurai schools, and prohibited so many dangerous weapons, the samurai got angry and revolted.

    Those samurais, on the other hand, who worked closely with the government or had willingness (or had leverage by working with them), created their own “spiritual” schools, teaching aikido, kendo, and practices of spirituality, peace, and finding one’s own path in life.

    But now Japan thrives ever so lively. And yet, the government now carries all that stigma after the ages of samurais had passed; and for good reasons, because they do oppress people and judge them unjustly in courts.

    Perhaps the sword may have not been the answer, but it is certainly not the solution either to dismantle all, including the good and the bad, for there are the protectors of peace- the sword carriers, and those whom carry weapons and guns are no different.

    And there are those who are irresponsible and neglectful, and would drive opposition the opportunity for justifying radical changes. Then that radical change would be justified. Including the dismantling of weapons and their schools of thought.

    So is the case that had led to this women’s unfortunate circumstance.

    However, I will still carry the sword to death with me.


  • Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:

    • Smart screen

      • With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
      • With GPS features, and media access
    • But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.

    I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it’s a shame that it still costs practically the same.

    Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.






  • The other links, which you described as irrelevant, were only a source of insight - in that it gives an idea about how each of these people seem to be getting a unique problem or issue, but then it is all boils down to some issues with the xorg configuration files, when you dig deeper into the forum article problems that they are facing, and what the people that answer them are suggesting them do.

    If the arch wiki is not helping you solve it then you can try the other options or escalate it to a maintainer, because those arch wikis are maintained by people that needs to be notified when there is inconsistencies or bugs or issues that are not solveable regarding xorg and xrandr.

    If you believe there is reason to suspect it is gnome/ mutter, and that you tested with i3; it doesn’t tell us much, as i3 uses mostly a windows manager from what I know, whereas gnome/ mutter use GUI’s and thus requires its own configurations for the display. But if you still believe it is exclusively gnome’s/ mutters fault, you can raise it up to Gnome, then.



  • Understood, and I apologize for the impression. It seems to me that chatgpt prioritizes its own survivability, opting for the path of least resistance, instead of making more queries to the one using it, so as to allow itself to make better decisions based on information that it needs to know; and therefore, it would opt for giving cluster of information, without directly hinting at what are some of the questions that it needs to know before giving such a broad spectrum of information and directives to the users. I.e, it deems retorting a question with more questions as unhelpful and risky in conversations whereabouts such scenarios are negatively perceived. Damn you chatgpt for presenting me as the sheep, instead of sacrificing yourself for the greater good !


    Some investigation:

    Your issue that you are facing seems to be unique, and I could not find any specific issue related to yours, but some of the things which I looked up provided me with some insights:

    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2029

    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=265374

    https://askubuntu.com/questions/1392612/mouse-jumps-to-new-position-at-right-edge-of-screen-ubuntu-20-04

    And some more:

    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251854

    And this, discussing extreme multihead solution:

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Extreme_Multihead

    Here is an excerpt from that article above:

    "When everything is on you should see the same output on each monitor. The desktop is “cloned” on to the secondary monitors. If all the monitors are not exactly the same shape or support different resolutions you may only see portions of the main desktop display.

    The best tool to experiment with configuring your monitors to display as you want is xrandr. This may already be installed as part of your Xorg installation from either the xorg or xorg-apps groups".

    Also check, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multihead , section 2.2.2.


    Conclusion:

    The most likely scenario is that you had a certain configuration in your xorg files prior to making an update on the latest fresh install of archlinux, and, unfortunately, you may have to experiment and fiddle around with what is being suggested in the last two archlinux wiki articles linked there, as different setups may require a more involved and fine tuning process to achieve the expected results.

    Recommendation:

    I would recommend to find out what exact version that you had previously used which was perfectly working for you, and try consulting the xorg configuration files from there, and try bringing it up to an admin or, if you would, copy the configuration files yourself and see if that solves it.

    Worst case scenario is that it still does not work, even after following the initiatives provided in the official arch wiki directives, wherein you can escalate it to a maintainer. And I would recommend to first consult the arch wiki articles mentioned above, before escalating it to a maintainer.

    Options:

    So here are the options:

    • Copy old configuration of previous setup, and finding out what was the exact version of Arch you used previously which worked for you.

    • Trying a different Arch Linux distro to see if their configuration works (as I had many problems solved that way in the past just by switching to different distros, and I can take their configs that works for me now, and use them in the future for my needs, and I never had that problem which you described, even with multi monitors).

    • Configuring it manually, and experimenting with it by following the arch wikis suggestions.


    I hope that helps !


  • The issue you’re describing could be related to the interaction between GNOME, Xorg, and multiple monitors. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

    1. Monitor Alignment:

      • Ensure that your monitors are properly aligned in the display settings. Check if there are any misalignments or overlapping regions.
    2. Resolution and Refresh Rate:

      • Verify that your monitors are set to the correct resolution and refresh rate. Mismatched settings can sometimes cause graphical glitches.
    3. Graphics Driver:

      • Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed for your GPU. Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to graphical issues.
    4. GNOME Extensions:

      • If you have GNOME extensions enabled, try disabling them to see if any of them are causing the problem. Some extensions may not be fully compatible with your system.
    5. Xorg Configuration:

      • Check your Xorg configuration for any unusual settings. You can review the Xorg log files for any error messages or warnings related to the graphical issue.
    6. Multiple Monitors Configuration:

      • Experiment with different configurations for multiple monitors, such as changing the primary display or adjusting the monitor arrangement.
    7. Wayland vs. Xorg:

      • GNOME supports both Wayland and Xorg. You can try switching to Wayland to see if the issue persists. On the login screen, you can choose the session type.
    8. Bug Reports:

      • Check if there are any known issues or bug reports related to your specific GNOME version, distribution, and graphics hardware. You might find relevant information or workarounds.
    9. Testing with a Single Monitor:

      • Temporarily disconnect all but one monitor to see if the issue persists. This can help narrow down whether the problem is related to multiple monitors.

    If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may want to seek assistance from the GNOME community forums.



  • There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can’t remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.

    Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?

    Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:

    https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/

    – There has been some concerns over docker’s licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.

    Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.

    Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.

    [Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that’s just the gist of it].
