Yeah its even bad landlording practice. You budget in a 20% buffer in the requested rent payment over the costs to own the rental property in case of late/missed rent payments and for ongoing repairs. If you as a landlord have expenses bouncing you're doing something very wrong!

Root's home directory only works if you're sshing in as root (not a great practice, although its certainly not as bad as on Windows thanks to key auth. You can simply revoke the keys of the admin you just let go rather than resetting a bunch of passwords). The reason its common practice in Windows Server administration is a combination of common practices: having dedicated admin accounts in AD for each administrator, Windows lacking a decent directory for content shared between users, and of course the general laziness that Windows administration attracts and fosters.

Its a pretty common Windows server practice to just throw random shit on the root directory of the server. I'm guilty of this at times when there isn't a better option available to me, but I at least use a dedicated directory at the root for dumping random crap and organize the files within that directory (and delete unneeded files when done) so that it doesn't create more work later.

I think the difference is historically hobbies involved making things (woodworking, model building, sewing, playing music, drawing, writing, scrapbooking, etc.) or were purely physical (hiking, playing sports, shooting things, etc.) partly out of necessity due to home media being practically nonexistent outside of books and magazines which require literacy (a high bar up to about the 20th century)

Within about one generation we went from books and magazines being the only mass market home media to suddenly having access to more home media than we could ever consume. My grandmother has told me about her family getting their first TV and how she imagined it would be like a radio with a little screen you could walk up to and see a static image depicting what's being described when you wanted to but would otherwise listen to like radio

People are now by default consumers, where even just 50 years ago it was still the default for people to make stuff, fix stuff, etc. at home. Boredom drove skill building, now boredom just drives consumption. To make matters worse, mass digitization ultimately came in the form of smartphones with apps powered by addictive algorithms, so people (myself included) are addicted to the cheap dopamine that these screens of colorful lights provide us. This is the crux of the matter, and there's a growing trend (partly driven by enshitification) of de-digitizing as people realize how bad these screens are for our mental health

Could simply be that only 2 have been fully banned by Reddit but most have tons of subreddit bans and/or shadowbans. On the other hand, Reddit is such a cesspit these days I wouldn't be too shocked if they just exist on Reddit shitposting slop

How much do you want to bet they also rolled out bonsuses based on this bogus data? The one saving grace is they started using the new LLM tooling mid-Q4 so any quarterlies would at least be partially based on real data

Yeah back on the days of analogue telephone lines every phone number ultimately required 2 copper wires going all the way from the nearest local exchange to the telephone handset in the home or business, so many smaller towns and rural areas got party lines as a way to save on copper and switching costs. Instead of a dedicated pair of copper wires to every house with a phone, all of the houses on a given block were on one line (all on one electrical circuit), so you'd pick up the phone and be able to talk to (or listen to) your other neighbors without dialing.

Edit to add: in some rural areas they'd even use the barbed wire fences already at farms as a wire for delivering telephone service instead of running new phone lines, sometimes even using Single Wire Earth Return to further reduce copper requirements

500 mL of wine (if verified) is 2/3 of a bottle, not drunk alcoholic rage quantity see 1. If he blew like 0.4, it seems to me it would be reported as part of the article.

Different people have different tolerances. Personally, I can be completely knocked out by that much wine if I don't pace myself

Reasonable doubt. While I’m as big an antifer as the next guy on Lemmy, nothing good comes from jumping to conclusions and misrepresenting the facts of the situation by sensationalizing the title or not putting all the information in the summary. Again, see 1.

Let's read the article

He told the court that later that day, about half an hour before they were due to leave to go to the airport, Lucy had been in the kitchen when her father took her by the hand and led her into his ground-floor bedroom. Littler said he heard a loud bang about 15 seconds later and then Kris Harrison screamed for his wife, Heather.

Literally right before they leave he physically leads her to the bedroom and shoots her. Reeks of honor killing

Jesus fucking Christ he fucking executed her

Too soon man, too soon

Yeah back in the day my friend group was on Skype as well as jumping onto whatever vc server was setup for whatever Minecraft server we were on. Skype was too bloated and bogged the system down especially if trying to do a voice call while playing a game on my old single core Pentium circa 2010ish

Is preventing teens' access to pornography worth sacrificing the ability for every adult to have privacy online?

This is a society level value judgement that has to be made, I'm not necessarily looking for hard answers
