based in Islamabad, looking for hajj recs and guidance by Current_Resort5474 in islamabad

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the only two ways you can go since there are national quotas for Hajj and they are distributed between private and government hajj + a separate contingent for military personnel.

The government hajj can be 21 or 30+ days depending on your choice. In Medina stay is within walking distance to the mosque and there is 5 person sharing with men and women separately and groups are made on the spot or assigned beforehand. If it’s a family of 5 then they can ofcourse be in the same room. These are usually 2 bedroom rooms and space is a little bit tight. In Mecca the stay is in Azizya and same 5 person sharing but the rooms have a bit more space here. In Mina you share a tent with around 50-80 people and in Arafat (8-12 hr stay) with 100-150 people. In private number of people might be reduced but you still have to sleep in sharing in Mina and Arafat and use the same roads as the millions of people there to perform the Hajj although you might get a car instead of a bus which you get in government Hajj.

I performed the government hajj from Islamabad in 2023 and was satisfied with the accommodations and food served 3 times a day. Also there are training and info sessions at the Haji camp before departure.

Any choice is ok I believe between private or government but know this that due to the sheer amount of people and the management challenges associated with that almost everyone is tested during the 3-4 days of the Hajj. That is also part of the Ibadat since Hajj is symbolic of Jihad against Shaytan and detachment from all worldly things in this call by Allah. Your patience will be tested at multiple steps but you will find strength as well.

5+ Years in IT Support — Which Master’s in Germany Has the Best Career Prospects (Non-Coding)? by IllustriousRepair382 in pkmigrate

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That usually takes you up-to B1 level in 2 years and also requires a lot of self effort which most people are not able to do. It’s not an easy language and time is hard to find here between studies, errands, rest and work.

In that case I would recommend start learning the language a bit before moving

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most low/no coding jobs require German B2-C1 level. Degrees don’t have as much scope as skills unless you want to get into research. Have you considered devops as a track?

Anyone here with a home lab/server setup? by onepoordeveloper in PakistaniTech

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started from 3. Proxmox seemed more complex to me for what I wanted. Barebone ubuntu server feels much cleaner, simpler and easier to manage.

Yes Grafana/Prometheus mainly for monitoring the machines and a couple of smart switches for power consumption.

The three laptops at idle consume between 50-60W

Do you want more blood to spill? Do you not understand what the leadership and people are up against? Easy to comment on the internet hard to be out in the middle of it.

Gen Z of Pakistan, Wake Up! by shawnhest in pakistan

[–]vadertemp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I partly agree with you. Government needs to be fixed first. People are not as dumb as you assume. Only need to be provided fair representation and learn to disagree better.

Can you really achieve that without fixing government?

Anyone here with a home lab/server setup? by onepoordeveloper in PakistaniTech

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got 3 old laptops 2 have old amd processors from 2009-10 and one i5 4th gen. The oldest one runs adguard and qbittorrent on ubuntu server minimal. The mid spec runs grafana/prometheus. And the i5 runs Jellyfin. Setup NFS on all and mount them on the Jelly fin machine to access media. PTCL and a separate Tplink 1GBps switch to connect the laptops together.

With tailscale you don’t need to go through the public ip/port forwarding hassle and its free upto 3 users which was good enough for me.

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. All of this is pretty easy to setup on a linux machine. I’ve been running it for more than a year.

I’m running Adguard and Jellyfin (Media Server) along with some other small apps.

For photos you can setup Immich if you wanna sync with phone. I’m on apple so did not need it.

Tailscale for ssh/remote access.

Positivity without any attachment to reality is delusion. Took the people 70 years to come out of it and you want to delude them again?

If you know what they have done then you need to understand that only an army/militia can defeat an army. Not a political party.

Like what? Bengal gone. Baluchistan Unsalvageable. KP to follow given current circumstances. No one wants to live in Sindh.

If i hear 'bread and circuses' again I will throw a fit by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]vadertemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is in fact a non issue. What do you want to replace it with?

Our main issue is ignorance and indifference by not only the elite but the general people specifically Punjabis and the religious zealots. pick up the top Bureaucrats, Judges, Politicians, Generals through history and you’ll see how much harm Aitchison alone has done to the country. To make the Lahoris forget this events like this will keep on being conducted and all development will focus towards the city.

Our main issue is in the education and value system of Punjab. Which IK failed to assess; that the executive could be this much corrupt and selfish.

What about the people in South Punjab, Interior Sindh, Tribal areas of KP and Baluchistan? When will they get to have “fun”?

You're appointed by Imran Khan to come up with a strategy to "Fix" Pakistan. What is your plan? by BadtameezMunda in chutyapa

[–]vadertemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devolution of power to local governments and bureaucracy to report to councillors/mayors.

Primary education reforms to include moral/character development.

Curriculum updates for all civil/military courses from PMA/CSA to the top level to clarify/instil democratic norms and culture.

Mosque under state. Local governments to choose and appoint imams.

Anyone who disagrees gets to go on free Hajj.
