The point of this post is to find out if people are interested in reading such stuff or it’s not worth the trouble.

So I’m a software engineering graduate who grew up and still in Syria, and we can say we have pretty special conditions we live in, power is out most of the time, and the internet connection isn’t that good, plus the shit ton of sites that are blocked by US sanctions (even GitHub acts like a removed here), not to mention I have pretty old hardware that I love to use the most of it.

So most of the times I come up with weird workarounds and manual interventions to get stuff working, so I’m thinking about sharing such workarounds and so, both in English and Arabic if people want that too.

I’ve been using GNU/Linux for quite some time some time so most of my adventures happen on these systems.

So, I would appreciate it if you guys let me know what you think of this, and if you find it worth reading, I don’t actually have any idea of where to post my tiny adventures (it’s mostly gonna be your usual text and images)

    You could always test the waters by writing up a few of your workarounds in Lemmy posts, and seeing how much interaction they draw. If they’re well-received, the effort of building and maintaining a blog might be worthwhile.

    I post stuff to my blog mostly for myself to look it up later and to possibly help people with similar interests. So, why not just do it and see how it goes?

    It sounds like interesting things to read, especially unusual fixes on older hardware in adverse conditions.

    As mentioned you can start off here on Lemmy to see if it gets traction, and then move to a dedicated place. Or just keep posting here on Lemmy :)
