OP, I know it's not your fault (probably) but that title makes it seem like the killer was found dead. If you had reformatted like: "Man arrested in connection with slain cheerleader foud dead in her mother's bathtub" it could have been made a little more clear. It isn't actually important to the story that the cheerleader was found in the bathtub and the title would have been much easier to understand without that bit of trivial information.

Punishment, in this case, is used to attempt to dissuade others who would try to replicate his actions. It's not going to work for a lot of people but it will for some. On the flip-side, one could argue that if he was helped by the authorities after his incident then some may see replicating it as a path to their own healing process... Pretty fucked up. I still think it would be better for society if this person was sentenced to the help they needed to reenter society as a functioning and contributing citizen.

As for your second question, I don't think there is one straight answer for that or at least I've never heard a satisfying one.

Another related question. Is the creator of Lemmy also the creator of torrents-csv? I ask because their dockerhub page hosts torrents-csv images as well as the lemmy one.

Here's some flame bait:

Why would you want to listen to your music in this inferior format? I get it if there aren't any modern recordings or quality transfers but to actually sit down and enjoy the low signal to noise ratio of a record just boggles the mind.

Private tracker and seed requirements is the reason that comes to mind for me. Back when I was on a private tracker some 20 years ago I would get the torrent file and the actual data from a friend so I could seed it without having downloaded it.

Do these 3rd party apps let you get rid of Shorts? I absolutely despise accidentally clicking on Shorts and would prefer if they actually stayed in the Shorts section so this doesn't happen on my Home feed.

Not to mention that the satellite connection was meant for emergency calls and emergency calls already attempt to used ANY available cellular connection (not just your own carrier). This feature is only useful for people who spend considerable time outside of cellphone coverage areas and those people would be better served by an actual satellite phone.

on Measuring latency · c/selfhosted · 1 pts · 2y

40 Mbps is the amount of data that can be moved in one second; the difference between 20% saturation and 90% saturation should have negligible impact on latency. The bottleneck would occur if you OVERsaturate the line (ie. trying to pull more than 40mbps down) because then the packets would need to take turns coming in and possibly even be re-sent from the source if the latency is so bad that those packets are wiped from cache on routers or switches. (FUN FACT: this is basically how a DDOS attack works, too many packets are being thrown at your network and your router can't say "no" fast enough to the bad data so latency approaches infinity and the good data ends up getting buried as well)

on Measuring latency · c/selfhosted · 4 pts · 2y

Mbps is a measurement for bandwidth not latency. However, it's a little confusing what OP wants based on the image alone. The question marks in tandem with the bandwidth values makes me assume OP wants to know their outbound bandwidth but they are clearly asking for latency in the post text.
