I paid $1.80 for my first domain (which was a .lol TLD, a little obscure but worked for me). It’s now renewing at $26, though. The more well known ones are a fair bit more expensive though, and rarely have introductory sales. There are a lot of random weird domains nobody’s ever heard of that only renew for a few bucks a year on going though.

It wouldn’t work for a Lemmy instance, unless you don’t mind changing instances every year, but you could theoretically get domains for less than a dollar for at least a few decades by constantly changing domains every time you’re due for a renewal, to make the most of the introductory discounts lots of them have

Omg I forgot Hugh Jeffreys was a thing. Haven’t watched him in about 4 years!

Interesting. I very briefly ran a test Lemmy instance off a raspberry pi I had laying around, but shut it down because I was worried about having an open port on my network and exposing my IP to the world. Then I tried to run an actual Lemmy instance on a proper VPS and ironically had more issues with that than running it at home!

What on earth is your instance name?

Yes, but in regard to the title, nobody was accused, therefore nobody can sue for defamation.

How is it defamatory? It’s not defamatory. It doesn’t accuse a specific person of stabbing anyone, and a situation can’t be defamation. Unless shopping centres or suburbs can sue for defamation, in which case, they still couldn’t, because it objectively happened.

Jif is an oven cleaner here. Because I hate everyone, I started pronouncing it Gif. Makes a lot of people very very angry

Is US an abbreviation of an initialism (USA)?

Is pronouncing LED like an acronym common? I’ve never heard it, and it would take me a while to work out what they’re on about if they’re talking about “lead”

I ditched DVDs, but I’m actively expanding my VHS collection. They’re basically vintage now. Cool retro tech I can’t ordinarily buy/use. We do have a player, but I’m not going to dare play these because I don’t want it eating my tape. I’ve tested other tapes, and it hasn’t, but I don’t trust it

IT’S HEEEEERRREEEEE

Despite having spent ~280 hours on the series, I’ve still only seen 2 of the episodes in the box set

(Yes they’re VHS tapes)

I had a dream a few nights ago about going to Cairns and it was pretty much the same story

I just about exclusively Lemmy from mobile, and auto carrot hates my guts. I end up sounding illiterate most of the time

Wha

Nah, but I stole the article off Reddit (although linked to a better source, because fuck 7news), and the top comment on that thread was also “Woodgrove, Melton. Saved you a click”

This comment looks familiar…

Thanks z! I’ve updated the title

Side note: it really irks me that almost every ABC article has “allegedly” somewhere in the title.

I get they’re all paranoid about being sued, but this isn’t alleged, a kid was ACTUALLY stabbed. That can’t be disputed, and you can’t be sued for defamation for claiming that something that actually happened, happened.

For some people it’s “POV:”. For me it’s “allegedly this situation that very obviously happened, happened”.

We briefly owned a rabbit when I was younger. The next door neighbour packed all her stuff up and moved to Perth and couldn’t be bothered bringing most of her animals. She had a rabbit, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. She took the dogs and left the rest. Mum assumed the RSPCA would probably put them all down (they were all getting old), so we ended up with most of them.

The rabbit was absolutely dark magic. It got out twice, and we ended up building a little rabbit-run for it with chicken wire and wood. But we didn’t do a good enough job, and it snuck out the corner. Everytime it ran away, it ended up in the yard of some kids down the road. Eventually mum decided it was too difficult and asked their parents, and then the rabbit became the kids problem!
