Realistically, you should always try to keep a decent food storage in your home.

Not only does proper food storage mean you are prepared in the event of some disaster or item scarcity, such as toilet paper during covid, but it also keeps grocery costs down, as you can buy discounted items in bulk and work through them until you find them at a good price to stock up again.

I realize that storage space can be limited in a home, but even when I lived in a tiny apartment I did my best to dedicate enough space for a month or two of extra food supplies.

I’m in a similar boat. While my current setup is getting by, I’m in the market for something better.

I’m hoping that the shield will soon get a refresh when Nintendo releases their next console. If so, I’ll be picking up a shield for sure.

That’s great news! Let’s hope Alberta doesn’t opt out.

A Raspberry Pi will work as a Jellyfin server, but it will really struggle if it has to transcode any media.

If you want your Jellyfin server to be up and accessible at all times, I would suggest getting a second hand PC. I’m personally a fan of small form factor mini PCs. Anything with a 7th gen Intel processor or newer, with integrated graphics, will be able to hardware transcode anything but AV1.

While not FOSS, I do really enjoy Plexamp.

I certainly agree. Seeing as all property values skyrocketed in the past few years, those whose homes are now worth $1 million only kept up with everyone else.

Seeing as over 60% of Canadians own their home, that means that the rise of property costs merely widened the gap between those that own and those who rent. While the rise of property costs certainly isn’t a good thing, those who own property realistically aren’t any better off than they were before.

I completely agree that children should simply be using family computers. Kids are much to young to understand proper internet safety.

It did allow Toronto to become the business capital of all of Canada. It was previously Montreal.

To my understanding, and a quick Google search, winnings are never taxed.

[-] atomWood@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

That depends on the government in question. For example, the Canadian government does not have a claim on any kind of lottery or game show winnings.

This is definitely the simplest approach, as you will be able to use any TV you come across.

As for a streaming device, some form of HTPC is likely to give you the best control over your digital privacy.
