    Nobody likes to talk about how almost everything is blocked from Iran. Not just as of late, but for years.

    sanctioning intellectual resources and knowledge really must be illegal. I can understand it for proprietary things. But FOSS stuff being unavailable? That is pure hypocrisie.

    Too little too late. I left Fedora back i ~2006ish when they were interrogating people over the IRC support channels about their nationality before even deigning answer questions about links to official downloads or official distro documentation. They have always been racists and will always be, as they are condemned to suck the corporate tit.

    Site is currently down (undergoing maintenance). What does this even mean? a forum for Syria specifically? a mirror?

    If this is a forum or the like shouldn’t it be an Arabic / middle eastern forum? that would make more sense
