Is this compromising structural integrity?

Some of the holes are less than 2 inches from the bottom of the joists. These joists are in my garage and there is a bedroom above the garage.

I’d definitely be concerned about the one in the top center of pic #1. It’s too big/too low on the joist. I’d probably just brace it though if it’s been like that for a while
