What opened your eyes to what's happening in Palestine?

Gee, that's assuming quite a bit right out of the gate.

We’re a group of activists in a Western country

Care to name yourselves then or do I just take it on faith this isn't astroturfing? This whole post is pure propaganda from a user with an otherwise blank profile.

While I have sympathy for the average peaceful person living in these areas, Hamas is a terrorist organization. Bring on the downvotes.

What is up with you and Taylor Swift conspiracy theories today?

I use Grub for my bootloader so I'm probably not the best person to ask for rEFind problems, but a good place to start for everything Arch related is the wiki. The page for rEFInd has a configuration section that outlines where the config files are and how to read them. Check that everything there matches what you expect it to be: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#Configuration.

If you've verified that your bootloader config is correct and it's installed on the drive you're booting from correctly another config to check is /etc/fstab to ensure you have a root device set in there too. The wiki is your friend here too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab

You'll need to post more info about your bootloader/fstab config. The error ERROR: device ' ' not found implies there's something set to an empty string.

Works for me with Lemmy-UI. I'm guessing whatever client/browser you're using is including the period at the end of the sentence in the URL.

I suppose you could argue an "illegal number" is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number.

Non-snarky answer: My guess is that after not answering any questions they'd assume you're just trying to waste their time and tell you to leave or actually be arrested for trespassing.

An interview is just a test.

Whenever I speak with students/new grads about interviewing I actually specifically advise them that an interview is not a test. Yes, you need to have a certain level of base skills, but beyond that, an interview is much more like a date than a test. I say this because you can do everything right and still be rejected. It doesn't mean that you did anything wrong or there's anything with wrong with you, but rather there just wasn't a match between you and the company you were interviewing with at that point in time. There are so many factors entirely outside of your control that determine if you're given an offer or are rejected to the point that I find it really tough to consider it a "test" in the academic sense where you need to score a certain value to pass or fail it.

Likewise, it's incredibly common for students/new grads to focus heavily on the technical skills while completely ignoring the soft skills. The best thing you can do in an interview is make the interviewer like you and want to work with you. It's amazing how many people will overlook subpar technical skills either consciously or subconsciously if they feel comfortable with you (the amount of borderline incompetent people I've seen hired that are otherwise smooth talkers is astounding). It seems like the author of the linked to article here might be falling into that trap too. He writes about his technical experience heavily but does not touch on the soft skills at all, even questioning at one point that he may simply be bad at interviewing which is a strong sign to me that he's not presenting himself well in the interview.

This is something that transcends software engineering. If you're a sociable and likeable person you'll go far further in life than the person that is quietly a genius but doesn't work well with others. I wish more people folks in this industry would focus on that side of the coin instead of simply saying "grind Leetcode more to get more offers."

If you're not overweight and simply want to become more athletic I personally think the most important thing to do is to find an activity you enjoy. That's something you have to discover for yourself.

For example, I can't stand working out for the sake of working out at a gym. But I do get really motivated by climbing, hiking, trail running, and skiing. Climbing builds strength and has a certain level of problem solving involved too so it's mentally stimulating. Hiking and trail running are excellent cardio and have clearly defined goals to reach a certain summit or some endpoint. And skiing is just a blast in all forms. All of that keeps me active and having fun while I'm doing it. That makes me want to do it more which allows me to set bigger objectives and then it builds on itself.

Yeah, I understand that, but my question is about if I can do both an outdoor directional WiFi bridge AND omnidirectional access point with one device. I'm not concerned about the indoor situations on either end as that's all wired networking. The buildings are metal siding and roofs so I can't do a normal indoor access point to serve outdoor devices as the metal construction blocks virtually all of the signal even a few feet on the other side of the exterior wall.

Interesting, would you say it's acceptable to use something like this as both a bridge and something to connect to for phones, for example, around the outside of a house too in any direction? Or is the antenna for that too directional?

Never Gonna Give You Up

Don't feed the trolls y'all.

Here's why making assumptions about someone's motivations less than 24 hours from an event is misguided at best: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/us/alaska-airlines-off-duty-pilot-arraignment.html

Still want to claim this was deliberate terrorism?

Would you question it if he had a foreign sounding name?

That's irrelevant. This isn't a race/nationality thing yet for some reason you feel the need to make it one.

Also, if it was something like suicide or something, we would have heard about it by now.

It has been less than 24 hours. How in the world would we have known this person's full intentions by now?

And what evidence do you have to support that claim? You don't know this person's motivations. You're making assumptions here too.

What does this have to do with Linux?

Brendan Eich is not involved with Mozilla anymore.

He also created JavaScript though. So by your logic how can you use the web in general?

I tried for years to breakup with Google search, but always kept coming back to it for one reason or another. I started using Kagi a few months ago and have not even thought about Google since then. I really can’t recommend it enough, especially now that the $10/month plan is unlimited searches.
