Said communities would rather indirectly "house" them in tax-funded prisons? I'd point them to studies on how incarcerating and enforcing these laws end up costing Americans more than it does to house people, such as this: https://homelessvoice.org/the-cost-to-criminalize-homelessness/

What a strange state of affairs. People may not live outdoors because that looks unsightly. But you will also not give them a place to go.

Hope there are enough homeless shelters for them to move into. Otherwise you would be suggesting the inconvenience you face from having to see them sleep in the streets justifies making it impossible for them to in their desperate situation have even that.

Its under a subsection on "modesty". But I don't know why it's under the section on prayer.

They are general rules on clothing, you can look up "awra for women" to get at the same stuff.

The meme is meant to get something similar across. The people who ask questions like that somehow seem to expect all the suffering people there are going through to be ignored or something.

No, it is obligatory according to the major schools of law in Islam, which the manority follow.

Here's the section from Encyclopedia of Islamic law: a compendium of the views of the major schools by Laleh Bakhtiar (archive: https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofis0000bakh/page/70/mode/2up )

While its true there are outliers like fundamentalists who go to extremes and progressives who deny many rules, there are four major schools in (Sunni) Islamic law that the majority of people follow and they all take at the very least the ruling that the covering for women is everything except her face, hands and feet - when among men who she legally can marry ("mahram").

 

I'm not sure how widely known this is, I'm hoping at the least some other beginners will benefit :)

SSD caching is when an SSD stores the most frequently used contents of a slow (but usually larger) hard disk. When attempting to access something from your hard disk, it will be fetched from your SSD if available, otherwise getting it from your HDD. All the while you will be shielded from this complexity and pretend to work off of the HDD (transparent caching).

Linux comes with lvmcache, which lets you do this with surprisngly few incantations in your terminal.

I had fun installing a distro making use of this (as expected performance has benefited quite a bit). If you are, too:

  • Guides on lvmcache assume you already know the basics of Linux's logical volume manager (lvm). There don't seem to be any that bring it all together.

  • On setting lvmcache up, the lvmcache manpage was nice and clear. RedHat's guide was good too. Other sources meanwhile were lacking in one way or another.

  • A volume with lvmcache set up, I learn that Ubuntu's nice-looking new installer doesnt support installing on lvm logical volumes. Frustratingly, everything online was on using the old installer, leaving me wondering where I had messed up so that my lvm volume wasn't showing up on my installer. Heads up.

Thanks for reading!

Thats a strange thing to say. Even if the changes havent been dramatic where you live, it certainly will with time if we dont limit the damage done.

I think your laughing at her fall might have had something to do with it. (I assume you laughed, I can't imagine not)

 
 
 
 
 

I use Ubuntu installed on a hard disk. My computer also comes with a tiny (16GB) SSD that I've another Ubuntu installation on. While a fresh install on the SSD worked great, this is too small to hold all the packages I will eventually need.

Is there any way to only have the core bits of the distro on the SSD, and have all the other packages I later install on the HDD?

I want this so I can have a fast boot (boots slowly using the HDD) and since I'm happy with the speed of apps as they work while now installed on my HDD, I'd like to keep using them off of it.

All idea welcome :)
