Interestingly, the NZ average data rose from 16 to 23 between the 80s and 2016, I wonder if it's related to the rise in concrete slab houses where raised houses on piles with a crawlspace were previously the primary way houses were built. Granite countertops possibly play a part too.
Yeah, this is standard practice everywhere for home buyers.
Everywhere? The risk varies significantly by where you are in the world. Where I live, I've never heard of anyone getting a radon test. I was aware this was a thing in some countries, but our soils have very little compared to some countries. Our average radon in homes is around 23 Bq/m3 which is around half the average in the US (50Bq/m3), and the EPA suggests action if in the 75-150 range. (Which is quite a range!).
Is there anything that prevents a tech bro buying the hardware and accessing the network to post with their LLM the way they do with the internet today?
Ah yes, I guess it was Flattr! I read the top of the above linked wikipedia page and it talked about visiting pages with a browser extension, which didn't sound right. But I see now in the history section it has:
Its first version required users to click on a "flattr" button on websites to "flattr" content.
I remember something that I think was a bit different to Flattr. People would put buttons on their sites, then you'd kind of thumbs up or upvote or something when you visited the site if you liked it. At the end of each month, your specified donation amount got split based on the the proportion of likes on each site. I think it would be separate buttons for e.g. each article on the site, or perhaps you could like more than once as I seem to recall being able to give another like each other time you visited.
For a while there were a bunch of sites I'd visit that had it, but I can't remember seeing it since perhaps 5-10 years ago.
I got a kobo recently and was amazed to find you can sync it with calibre-web to basically run your own book store. Browse and download any books from your server. Pretty cool.
Your instance would have private/public keys for communicating with other instances. By changing software, all that is gone, and you might find other instances rejecting your federation activities, this is doubly true if you used the same username, because they would already have a record of that user with a different public key.
I'd suggest using a subdomain or a new domain, re-using a domain for a different Fediverse server is likely to have issues. A subdomain would be treated as a different domain so would be fine.
This is also something to know for a different scenario: taking your lemmy instance and changing the domain but keeping the content is likely to break federation as well.
You said it makes sense that in the US people get paid weekly (and pay rent monthly) so having a service that lets you pay rent off each week makes sense.
I'm asking why in the US people don't pay rent weekly. Where I live it's the most common way of doing it.
Is it different from running a bash script you downloaded without checking it? E.g. the installer that you get with GOG games?
Genuine question, I'm no expert.
