US terror attacks leave 10,000 Iranians without water


Iranian officials say overnight US strikes destroyed a desalination facility supplying drinking water to about 10,000 people.

Hamzeh Pour, chief executive of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company, said US strikes hit desalination pumps and electrical infrastructure in Bunji village, in Jask, cutting off water supplies to 20 villages.

"The supply of drinking water to 20 villages with a population of approximately 10,000 people has been completely disrupted," Pour was quoted by Iran's Tasnim News Agency as saying.

[solved] possible to use brightnessctl without root?


Edit: I just had to restart the computer - perhaps a login-logout would've suffices for the udev rules to take effect? (brightnessctl adds some rules to allow non root users in the video and input groups to manipulate the necessary device, in my case intel_backlight.)

I'm on Artix with OpenRC on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480. I'm running dwm on X. I have successfully configured dwm's config.h - adding wpctl commands - to allow adjusting the volume with the F2 and F3 buttons. Works like a charm. Now, I am trying to do the same thing with brightnessctl, but whatever syntax I use, nothing happens. I have tried adding my user to the video and input groups, to no avail.

Should I chown or chmod the device under /sys/ to allow my user to manipulate, in my case, intel_backlight? Or is there some other option?

brightnessctl works when used in the CLI no problem.
