Biography

He was the son of the Shaybani Arab Khalid ibn Yazid al-Shaybani and the grandson of Yazid ibn Mazyad al-Shaybani, both of whom had repeatedly served the Abbasid Caliphate as governors of Arminiya,[1] a vast province encompassing most of the Transcaucasus, with Armenia, Iberia (Georgia) Albania (Azerbaijan).[2] His brother Muhammad ibn Khalid also served as governor of Arminiya. This succession of Shaybanid governors enabled them to become firmly entrenched in the region, especially in Shirvan, which came to be ruled directly by Haytham. Haytham soon adopted the Persian title "Shirvanshah", and after the murder of the Abbasid caliph al-Mutawakkil in 861, Haytham and his heirs became de facto independent rulers of Shirvan.[3] His brother Yazid ibn Khalid declared himself independent as the "Layzanshah", thus starting the Persianization of the family of Haytham.[4] Nothing more is known about Haytham, except that he was at an unknown date succeeded by his son Muhammad I.

gollark: I suspect it's whatever you're doing to bptr after each broadcast. That looks dubious and the log says it's a "loadprohibited" error, which sounds like something memory.
gollark: I don't think this affects *me* very badly, since my configured disk encryption all runs in software without any weird TPM interaction, I don't use "secure" boot, and it seems like this would need physical access or unrealistically good timing, but it's still not very good.
gollark: I wonder if AMD's PSP has similar holes. In any case, they should really just not be sticking subprocessors with closed-source non-user-modifiable firmware and root access into every CPU.
gollark: I don't think there's a reason they couldn't other than bad performance. Which might require you to turn down quality, increase bitrate, decrease resolution/framerate or whatever else.
gollark: I think the LattePanda ones are just x86.
