Searxng has it’s own issues like scaling and getting good results. It can still be a good option.


Project Hammer – Jacob Filipp
Project Hammer aims to drive more competition and reduce collusion in the Canadian grocery sector. To get this done, we will: 1. Compile a database of historical grocery prices from top grocers’ websites. 2. Make the database available in a format that is suitable for academic analysis and for legal action. 3. Inform changemakers of the existence of this dataset (and make it reasonably easy for them to use).

Prebuilt like a traditional server? I personally use an orange pi and it’s pretty good. Just make sure to use the open source arm OS.


Walmart sells Classico pasta sauce for $2.97 in my area or 4/$10. Or I could go to zerhs and buy 1 for $7.99…

Ridiculous markup.

If you need to have a home to afford to retire;

How do we expect this to play out?


> Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions. A median household in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver would need to save over 20 years for just the down payment, more than 3x the historic average. Seems absurd? The outlandish scenario was apparently a […]

I think the argument is to deter other immigrants from committing such crimes.

Here’s an article about the same guy getting released in 2014: https://www.thespec.com/news/stoney-creek-residents-fight-relocation-of-sex-offender-keith-theodore-constantin/article_589b5b81-454f-5beb-91be-2950d52dccd9.html

Here’s another article about him getting arrested again shortly after that: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/headlines/convicted-sex-offender-keith-constantin-arrested-again-1.2726024

Here’s another article about him getting released again a year later: https://www.yorkregion.com/news/schomberg-residents-on-edge-over-release-of-high-risk-offender/article_37eaeef3-e3ec-5110-bc53-706b6970e66c.html

Obviously he got arrested again at least once at some point because here we are talking about him getting released again.

Also from that 2nd article: “He was also convicted in 2000 of sexually assaulting a young boy and of sexually assaulting a 45-year-old blind woman in separate incidents.” So this goes back even father than I what I can find just on google. Serial rapist catch-and-release for over two decades. Canada’s legal system is a joke.

I really hope this is the start of a massive increase in pressure on the rich, government and those who rip us off on the daily. We’re notoriously bad at voting with our wallets and protesting but practice makes perfect.

It’s very obvious those in power and those with wealth have had a super easy and uncontested time (much of that they engineered for themselves and we let it happen) so when faced with pushback, they feel very uncomfortable.

Let’s keep it up and shed our nice nature. We need to make a stink at every turn. Culture wars and social issues are absolutely important but this is about our money and our daily lives, we have to learn how to get serious about this before even more is taken away.

Anything to do with controlling the internet I fear is the start of real censorship. A new “occupy wall/Bay Street” that actually has teeth this time is a legit threat.




If you’re doing grocery shopping once a every two weeks then it’s not too bad.


There is a docker container setup with automatic lets encrypt and proxy. Can search around for it.





This is one-click install, easier for beginners / non-tech people.


Thanks. I thought so too. I don’t know why people are downvoting this.


No it’s an open-source service to host your audio.




I don’t know who that is and please stop trying to defame me. I re-post articles, videos etc that I see are popular on other sites.






Many docker images are not built for the raspberry pi arch. Maybe the newer models don’t have the issue but installing anything like Nextcloud or Seafile was a pain.


I recommend an Orange pi 5 with Armbian installed. Raspberry pi is under powered and it’s a pain getting compatible software for the arch.
