I have gotten in to a weird iOS issue and idk what the clean way to handle this is

i’ve got multiple accounts, notifications can open a post, reply, quote, or repost, and each notification belongs to a specific account. so the user might be on account A when they tap a notification for account B.

something like:

struct NotificationDestination {
    let accountID: Account.ID
    let postID: Post.ID
    let kind: DestinationKind
}

enum DestinationKind {
    case post
    case reply
    case quote
    case repost
}

The issue is:

account A is active
notification comes in for B
user taps it while the app is waking up
account switching starts
timeline restoration starts
post resolution starts
then another notification comes in for A lol

so i have stuff like:

await accountManager.restore()
await timelineStore.hydrate()
await postResolver.resolve(postID)
await navigationCoordinator.navigate(...)

But obviously these things are all racing each other. i was thinking of putting the notification intents behind an actor:

actor NavigationIntentQueue {
    private var pending: [NavigationIntent] = []

    func enqueue(_ intent: NavigationIntent) {
        pending.append(intent)
    }
}

But idk, this feels like a lot of machinery just to open a notification

Then you get into cases where the post is deleted while you’re restoring, but the quote is still there, the reply is still there, etc. Is this just an annoying app lifecycle issue?

After having a bad time recently, this has cheered me up so good!

I was out in the city and bumped into a friend and his wife. I shook his hand with a Salam, and said “hey” to his wife.

Later he called me and said it was inappropriate for me to greet her, and he felt disrespected. He has no issues in saying Salam to my mother if he sees her out with me.

Where I come from, I don't really see how I can just ignore a woman because she's a woman, especially when she's standing right there. It was literally just a quick hello, nothing else.

He said it's unIslamic and against the rules of Islam. I said I'm happy to apologise to her if she felt uncomfortable or disrespected, but he said I should apologise to him instead.

I don't really know what to think about it tbh.

What do you guys think? Especially Muslim men and women, is just saying “hey” to your friend's wife really inappropriate?

I'm also thinking as to why he didn't bring it up when it happened.

And if you're married, would you have a problem with your friend saying hello to your wife?

Why do some Muslims ridicule or judge Muslims who eat non-Halal meat, when they themselves may drink alcohol, fornicate, use drugs or do other things that are clearly considered haram?

I wanted to ask this because I’ve noticed something that I find quite strange.

I’m not asking which sin is worse or trying to compare them. What I’m questioning is the attitude.

Salam all,

I'm looking for a bit of advice. My friend's recently gone through a marriage breakdown and he’s started smoking, around 15 a day now.

I've never been married myself, so I don’t really understand what he’s going through, and I’m looking for advice from Muslims who’ve been through something similar or managed to quit smoking.

He’s got a child who he shares custody of and spends a lot of time with. I told him straight, “If you’re not here, then nobody will be there for him.” (We spoke about how smoking can lead to death through cancer, and how his son would have to deal with it) and that hit him hard and he became emotional.

I know addiction isn’t that simple though, and I don’t want to make things worse. I’m also looking into advice from smoking cessation services.

For now I’ve told him to try getting down to 10 a day by the end of the month, and I’ll be seeing him again soon.

If anyone’s been through this, especially from an Islamic perspective, what actually helped you quit and how can I support him?

I keep seeing loads of stories about Muslim men getting to know women, giving them hope, then messing them about or just walking away.

I've come across stories where e.g. one woman was literally about to get married, and the guy let it all fall apart because of his mum. Bro, you’re the one getting married, not your mum. Respect your parents, 100%, but you’ve got to make your own decisions and stand on them. Another guy had a woman travel overseas to see him, waited until she’d booked her flights, then started demanding she pay some of his costs. Then you hear about cheating, sleeping around, using prostitutes and just playing with women’s feelings.

What is actually going on? We live for this world and the next.

We’re really quick to tell Muslim women how they should behave, but some Muslim men seriously need to look in the mirror. Being a good Muslim man isn’t just about going mosque, having a beard and telling women what they should and shouldn’t be doing. It’s about your akhlaq, how you treat people, being honest, having some shame, taking responsibility and not messing people about. I’ve more or less given up on marriage myself, and it’s sad because.

And just as a small example from today, I got hit by a car while cycling by a Muslim brother. He swore at me, ridiculed me and drove off without even checking if I was alright. Thankfully I’m not badly hurt. That bad character is insane and it reflects. A Muslim sister who had her kids in the car actually stopped and checked on me. That honestly stayed with me.

I’m not saying all Muslim men are like this, because they’re not. But commonly a lot of you lot need to seriously work on improving on a huge scale. Stop playing with people’s hearts, stop making excuses and start actually living how we should and fear God.

I genuinely wanted to find someone, settle down and do things properly. It’s a shame that the actions of some of these men make people lose hope in marriage altogether.

For the women: Don't tolerate their crap.

You all push Filastin Hurra - but what about freeing your own hearts from zulm?

Got hit by a car today while I was out cycling and honestly I don’t really know what to do. I think I just need a bit of support and some kind words tbh.

I was turning right at a mini roundabout and I indicated with my arm on approach, but the driver just carried on straight into me, as I was half way over the roundabout. There’s a dent on his wing, and bonnet and the mirror cap came off. He swore at me, and I stopped on the exit road, but the driver just drove off.

I don’t have a bike camera unfortunately. I don’t think I’ve got any major injuries and I’m not really in pain anywhere, although my shin is hurting a little bit.

I’ve just been feeling proper sad and emotional about the whole thing. I haven’t eaten or drank anything all day either, just feeling a bit shaken up really.

A woman did stop to check on me but I told her I was fine. She didn't have a camera but she saw what happened, we don't have the VRN.

I feel like people sometimes hear “on deen” and automatically think someone’s gonna be a perfect husband or wife. Being practising is important, but it doesn’t automatically mean you’ve got good character.

You can be practising and still be selfish, difficult, immature, bad at communicating or just not very nice to live with.

And tbh, there isn’t even one set definition of being “on deen”. People practise differently and everyone’s got their own strengths and weaknesses (we all sin differently, bar the major sins of course).

At the end of the day, you’re marrying a person, not just their level of religiosity. Character, kindness, patience, emotional maturity, communication and how they treat you all matter. You want someone you can feel safe with, laugh with, grow with and actually enjoy life with mutual mental and physical attraction.

For me, I’d rather have someone who genuinely has a good heart and treats me well than someone who looks perfect on paper but doesn’t know how to treat the person they’re married to.

Look at the whole person, not just the label of "on deen".

Could someone please help me out with this? I've spent the last 3 hours trying to sort this, but no avail.

I’m running several services inside FreeBSD jails on a FreeBSD 14 server. One of my jails can communicate with the FreeBSD host and other devices on my local network, but it cannot access the internet. The host itself has no connectivity issues, and my other jails can access the internet normally.

The affected jail has a static IP, a default gateway, and uses an epair interface and bridge. PF is enabled on the host, and I’m also using NAT to allow the jail to access the internet through the host. I can ping the host from the jail, but when I try to ping an external IP such as 8.8.8.8, it times out. DNS also doesn’t work.

What should I check in my FreeBSD jail networking, routing, PF/NAT, and DNS configuration to find out why this particular jail cannot access the internet?

Hi everyone,

One of my side project is going fairly well, the only issue is support management. My inbox is getting full and I'm looking to setup some sort of ticket management system/CRM, however I'm not sure what to go with.

I've used ZenDesk in a corporate environment before and liked it, something similar would be great.

Do you have any recommendations please?
