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.

For example, the HD DVD encryption key saga was originally fought via DMCA notices to Digg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy

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.

!fishing@lemmy.world looks like the biggest per https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=fishing, but there’s also not many recent posts.

It’s not entirely about the Indians (the first chapter is) but based on your description I think you’d enjoy A People’s History of the United States.

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.

I’m on the same train. The original trilogy never did much for me (maybe if I was around in the 70s/80s when it was groundbreaking VFX), the prequels obviously suck, and the sequels are a hot mess too. Now you have Disney milking the hell out of it with all the TV shows and spinoffs. The only Star Wars thing I ever enjoyed was Rogue One.

…then I discovered Dune. And Dune is exactly what I wished Star Wars had always been.

Libraries and examples/tutorials: MIT because do whatever you want with it, that’s the point.

Full programs/websites: (A)GPL because I want these to remain fully free/open.

For real. I’m so sick of every new phone having a slightly bigger screen than the one before it. At first it was nice but I literally cannot fit a phone bigger than my current one in my pocket. If this is the trend then my only hope is vertical flip phones get cheaper so I can at least have one that fits comfortably in my pockets again.

If it’s possible, you could try talking to your IT department about this. Intune policies are configurable by the team using them so your IT department could allow your device as you want it if so. Hopefully they would understand the freedom to use your hardware as you see fit is worth the tradeoff of loosening their policies.

You can still buy Android phones that have manufacturer support for unlocking the bootloader. Once that’s done obtaining root is trivial. Pixel phones notably support this. Personally, I only buy phones I can unlock the bootloader on to show the demand for this feature. It doesn’t matter to me how great a phone is otherwise. Can’t unlock the bootloader? Not buying it.

That said, I completely agree with you. We all pay for and own the hardware, but let the manufacturer dictate what software it can run. That’s like buying a car and letting the car company tell you what roads you’re allowed to drive your car on. I don’t really blame the average use for not giving a crap because end users will never care about this stuff as long as their basic needs are met. It’s a failure of the people in the software industry to stand up for the open systems that built everything we have today. Without that constant fight for openness companies are going to be more than happy to take advantage of a locked down system to create a competitive advantage. Hell, look at what Google is currently doing with WEI in Chrome. If they have their way, the web will become just as locked down as smartphones are now.

Android was initially built on Linux

For the record, it still is.

Elastio offers it apparently: https://elest.io/open-source/lemmy. But they offer many managed services so who knows how good their managing of Lemmy is/would be (I have not used it).

On the other hand, I’ve considered setting up something like this myself. I run my own instance for my own personal use in a Kubernetes cluster, but did the hosting such that everything is scalable to many instances if need be. I just don’t know how much interest there would be in people wanting their own instances to make it worth my time to build out an admin/billing portal and automate it all. If anyone else is interested in this I’d love to know though since it could be a fun project to work on.

Again why? Is this some repetition of the Cold War Soviet-US competition?

Yes, it’s a prestige project. It’s the same reason why some countries spend billions to host competitions like the Olympics/World Cup: it’s an international dick measuring contest.

(For the record, scientific investment in space programs has incredible ROI so I whole heartedly support programs like this even if the motivation for doing so on the part of politicians is less than noble.)

Hashing is typically done server-side. So you need to transmit the password to the server and you can’t have a truly unlimited data limit. Pretty much every web server will reject requests over some size so while it’s entirely reasonable to support something like a 1,000 char password if you really wanted to, having it be truly unlimited with something using a 10 million character password is a security/operational risk in itself.

Same reason some websites still have max password lengths of 12 characters: Bad programmers that don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to the most basic of security concepts.

I’m a Protonmail user (on a paid plan) and like it. The bridge application works decently well on Linux with my desktop mail client. Their 24 month billing plan makes it $3.5/month.
