Laith Marouf joins Photo-Journalist Courtney Bonneau to report on the latest attack on Lebanon during its so-called Ceasefire with the Zionist Colony, as a “...
❞ The defense establishment, and following its lead, most Israelis, expect one thing from the Palestinian: surrender. Voluntarily and quietly. It's expected that the Palestinian won't defend himself, won't resist, won't fight the occupation imposed by Israel. If she dares defend herself, she will immediately become a target. If he appeals to the United Nations, he will be accused of "political terrorism." This system is designed to see the Palestinian as the ultimate and immediate suspect, even when she's the victim. … According to this system, a Palestinian who picks up a stone is a terrorist, but a settler who burns down a village is "frustrated.”… This isn't security or self-defense. It's apartheid, it's ethnic supremacy, and it won't last forever. ... Israel claims that Palestinian resistance of any kind is violent and illegitimate, but the question is: What does legitimate resistance look like in a situation of ongoing occupation? Is the Israeli justification of self-defense an exclusive right, or does this right also belong to the Palestinians? ... we've never heard a Western leader talk about the right of the Palestinian people to self-defense. In the eyes of the world, the Palestinian should simply die in silence. ❝
In Israeli eyes, a Palestinian who picks up a stone is a terrorist, but a settler who burns down a village is 'frustrated.' This isn't self-defense, it's apartheid, and it's unsustainable
A Financial Times exposé reveals how BCG consultants worked with contractors and Israeli think tanks to design logistics for aid delivery and population movement in Gaza.
I bought a Lenovo laptop, one from the the bargain bin, 11th gen Intel and 8gb soldered RAM
Even if I reinstalled Windows to make sure all the bloatware was removed, it was almost unusable. At boot I was left with only 800mb free memory, and "Lenovo vantage" kept reappearing automatically like malware. (It's a useless electron app that wastes half a gig of ram to show you on screen when you press caps lock, check driver updates and try to upsell you on extended warranty)
At idle the machine was as loud as a jet, with crystal disk mark always complaining "the nvme drive is over 65°C!!" (I'm guessing from the constant swapping)
Battery life was a disaster, 2 hours at idle with no foreground apps open
I thought that it was the CPU too slow for my use and the RAM not enough, so I was planning to spend some hundreds of euro to buy a new laptop with at least 16gb of RAM.
Then I installed cachyos and because I'm masochist I chose hyprland at the "easy" install screen that asks you which of the 19 available DE you prefer.
After a week of suffering trying to understand all the text configuration files for everything (it was a shock, everything needs the terminal) I'm now getting used to it and... It's like I got a brand new laptop??!?
Memory: clean boot now obviously is reversed situation. I don't have only 800mb of free RAM, the whole system uses only 800mb
Temperatures: by default cachyos is set to show the CPU temperature on waybar, and it's always around 40-45° C. The fan is way quieter. At idle they can even stop, before they were like a hair dryer even after a clean boot
Battery life: astounding. I can't believe that I can use it for a whole afternoon. Accidentally fell asleep and when I came back after two hours it lost only 10% (on idle, screen turn off automatically)
Gaming performance: tried only with casual games but with something like tinytopia I get 60fps on ultra when on windows it was choppy on high
I think this is a bit of a hyperbole... Hyprland uses about 1.6 GB of RAM on cold boot, not 800 MB. Also, Win11 uses 3.5 GB on cold boot, not 7 GB (although it escalates quickly). Additionally, there was no reason to use CachyOS/Hyprland as your first (?) Linux. Mint would do just fine, with its 1.3 GB ram usage (and down to 950 MB if you disable a couple of services via its gui). It's just that I'm having hard time believing that you stuck through with Linux when "everything requires a terminal". Something tells me that you're already a seasoned Linux user, and that you're overstating the situation for clicks. Not cool, if that's the case.
I have the L 14 GEN two so it’s probably the same processor and I don’t know if my eight GB is salted or not but I was able to upgrade to 16 GB anyway I noticed that in Lennox I get significantly better battery life. It probably goes from 2 to 3 hours to 4 to 5 maybe.
Almost every laptop I've owned in the past 15 years has been this way. Just an old machine people wanted to discard because of viruses or crap performance. They'd give their "junk" to me and go buy a new laptop. After swapping it to linux with a few tweaks here and there, I swear that "junk" would outperform the new one they dropped all the money on.
I've used Linux as my primary OS for many years, but I keep a copy of Windows on my current laptop for gaming. I know the gaming story on Linux is pretty good now, but having to hibernate and reboot is enough of a barrier to launching a game that it helps me stay more productive.
At home, my laptop sits on a stand with great airflow, but when trying to play The Witcher 3 on a desk while traveling, it overheated and throttled to the point it wasn't playable. On Linux, the thinkpad_acpi driver allows setting the fan level to "disengaged", which sounds like "off" but actually means unregulated and results in a considerably higher speed and cooling performance than the usual maximum. Some research led to the conclusion that while manual fan control is possible with certain apps on Windows, there is no way to exceed the maximum automatic speed.
It only took a couple minutes to set up Lutris and Proton to run the game, and as expected the mild abuse of my laptop's fan does make it playable. What I didn't expect is considerably faster load times, but I got those too.
Just a handy tip if you haven't already your laptop might sound like it's about to take off because it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Just search up a tutorial on YouTube for your laptop and be amazed at how much dust you will find clogging up your fan.
Also yeah that terminal thing is just arch and hyprland you really through yourself in the deep end there (I personally havnt used arch before). Linux mint on the other hand is super easy to use and the terminal is only there if you chose to use it.
In the end I'm learning how everything works "behind the scenes" with a shock therapy (disclaimer: while I didn't use Linux as my personal desktop, I have a decade of experience with Linux servers, otherwise this migration would have been impossible to understand for me)
I was expecting for example an easy toggle for dark mode instead needs to set several constants on the terminal (for GTK, for qt, and so on)
Everything needs one hour of searching but I'm documenting everything for future reference in a markdown file
And I had to set home as a git repository because otherwise a literal comma in a wrong spot would crash everything and I wouldn't be able to revert it
For example I wanted to show the WiFi status on the taskbar (default doesn't show) and I forgot a comma in the JSON configuration file. The taskbar (waybar) didn't even start next time and I was presented with a completely empty wallpaper lol
Al-Qassam Targets Occupiers, Vehicles in Top-Tier Op. in Khan Younis, Yemen Continues Missile Attacks
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced Saturday the execution of a top-tier operation against Zionist occupation forces in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
According to details released by the Brigades, the operation took place on Friday morning near the Directorate of Education in the al-Mahatta area, in central Khan Younis. Resistance fighters stormed a gathering of Zionist soldiers and their military vehicles, the statement added.
Al-Qassam targets 2 Zionist tanks, APC
As part of the operation, al-Qassam fighters targeted two Merkava tanks using two Shawaz explosive devices, resulting in its crew members being either killed or injured.
In addition to the tanks, the Resistance fighters also struck an armored personnel carrier with a Yassin 105 shell.
When Zionist rescue forces arrived at the scene, they were attacked with light and medium machine gun fire, the Brigades pointed out.
During the operation, al-Qassam fighters observed the landing of helicopters conducting an evacuation that lasted several hours.
The Brigades also reported a second operation on Friday, in which its fighters targeted another Zionist armored personnel carrier using a Yassin 105 shell on al-Bi’ah Street in central Khan Younis.
Al-Quds Brigades documents complex, top-tier operation in al-Shuja’iyya
Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement, released footage on Friday documenting a complex and top-tier operation its Resistance fighters conducted on Wednesday in the eastern al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood of Gaza City.
The al-Quds Brigades operation targeted Zionist military vehicles and soldiers, as well as homes where occupation forces had taken cover, engaging in direct confrontations at close range.
The commander of the operation reported that the Zionist soldiers showed no initiative or response, resorting only to screaming and fleeing without returning significant fire toward the Resistance fighters.
He added that the fighters encountered charred bodies of officers and soldiers, confirming that 40 Zionist soldiers were either killed or wounded, and stated that the occupation continues to lie and conceal its losses as it always does.
Yemen launches ballistic missile in solidarity
Zionist air defenses scrambled to intercept a ballistic missile launched from Yemen over occupied Palestine early Sunday.
At 2:45 am (local time), the Zionist military command warned that a missile was launched from Yemen, later announcing that its air defenses successfully intercepted it. Sirens sounded in settlements in the southern occupied West Bank as well as some settlements near the Dead Sea.
The strike comes as Yemen reiterates its military support for Gaza, vowing continued operations until the aggression ends.
Yemenis affirm their continued support for Palestine
On Friday, the Yemeni governorates of Saadah, Raymah, and Marib witnessed massive rallies in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in solidarity with the Gaza Strip under the slogan: “Steadfast with Gaza, prepared and mobilized in the face of aggression.”
Participants raised slogans affirming Yemen’s unwavering support for Palestine, in light of the ongoing Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, emphasized the continuation of the Yemeni ban on Zionist shipping, affirming its success and praising Yemen’s ability to continue the battle.

And if you choose the btrfs option with limine - you also get automatic snapshots in the bootloader.
