  • In principle yes, of course, but I think we all can be reasonably suspicious that Rubio is using this exact justification as a smoke screen to lay the groundwork of sowing doubt to manufacture a false “controversy” come election time. He’s also being just vague enough that he can play both sides, too, depending on which option he finds most politically beneficial. I’m glad to have people scrutinize our electoral process, but not when they start from a predetermined conclusion. Which I know I’m also doing by assuming Rubio’s intent, but it’s not like we haven’t been here before.





  • I tried to make Grocy work as a kitchen inventory and shopping tool too but damn, it tries to do way too much detail. I’m sure there are people with enough discipline that it appeals to, but I really felt like it was way too particular and entering/tracking items across areas/brands/types seemed like overkill. Its whole system seems unintuitive to me and I never could get to the point where it seemed natural, so I gave up quickly despite really wanting it to work.






  • I used both, I ended up settling on searxng because Whoogle seemed to be unable to retain my settings. Might be something with my cookie configuration, but searxng has no problem remembering my preferences. If that is not a problem for you then they are comparable; Whoogle is pretty simple to get going and works well, searxng is slightly more complicated to set up (but not that much with docker) but has a ton more features.





  • This is not a good idea unless you really know what you’re doing. High capacity batteries and high power circuits are pretty dangerous and there’s a surprising amount of complexity to build a reliable UPS. You’d probably have better luck modding an existing UPS (say from a flea market) to use a bigger battery if you are really desperate to save every dollar.

    Plus making it yourself you probably won’t save any money unless you already have all of the tools required, which is pretty extensive if you wanna do things right/safely.
