  • In hosting invidious or what? I've got it running pretty maintenance free in a docker LXC in Proxmox and use Twingate for access to it and everything else outside my home network. There was a learning curve to set up, but there's plenty of yt tutorials to guide you through.

  • In this case, the someone else is Alphabet megacorp. I wouldn't waste any concern on them. The content is still hosted by YouTube, just played through the invidious instance.

    To do away with all those concerns, you could self-host invidious, or donate to the instance you choose to use if self-hosting is outside of your technical prowess. If you want to support certain creators, donate to them directly instead.

  • The moment I read 'Mike Wiggins' I was really hoping that was the police chief.

  • I think it was Freakonomics that did a series on it? But yeah, quite an interesting and convoluted series of events.

  • It's definitely not. However, I'd bet many people would use those types of services if they were widely available, easy to access, and were offered with respect rather than judgment. No one wants to be poor, or homeless, or imprisoned. Sure, there will be a few who refuse assistance, but not providing the services in the first place force many people to a point of desperation.

  • Not simply the legal system. With a system designed solely for incarceration rather than rehabilitation, and with little support upon release, it's no wonder those people reoffend.

    It's essentially, "Let's imprison this person for a fixed amount of time because of something they did. Then, let's release that person, now with even fewer resources, right back into the circumstances that lead them to commit the first crime and act surprised when they do it again."

  • Perhaps because many crime issues are actually healthcare issues and police are not adequately equipped to aid in the reduction of those.

  • True. Up here there's not much sun in winter anyway, so shifting back wouldn't really be of much benefit. Sunrise is 9:02 today. Sure, it could be 8:02, but sunset would then be at 16:14.

  • Ha! And technically, SK is always on DST. Solar noon is around 1pm rather than noon, so I get the gripes from those on DST.

    Many don't want to lose that sunlight outside working hours, so I think just keeping everyone on DST would be the best solution. Have timezones set so solar noon is closer to 1pm clock time.

  • I use Twingate to access my home network externally. NetworkChuck has a good video on how it works and how to set up.

  • Subs of which they can often take 50% commission on.

  • Invidious and Newpipe do have watch next recommendations that aren't only subscribed channels, so there's a bit of discovery there, but no recommended type page where it aggregates those listings. As others have said, that would require tracking algorithms.

  • I think it's a great system too. It's pretty simple and offers pretty decent discounts for safe driving. One other good feature is that the fees for demerit points are charged immediately, so it's another reminder of 'I should not do that' soon after the event happens rather than delaying until the next renewal.

  • Pretty clear how crown corporations provide much better value to the people with SGI (SK) and MPI (MB) at the very bottom of the list.

  • I'd say Gaind's statement isn't quite accurate. Because healthcare is the provinces' jurisdiction, it's really up to them to provide reasonable healthcare access to their residents. It's not society that is not willing to provide those populations with access to care, it's the provincial governments.

    I would agree though, MAID is not a replacement for inadequate mental health or addictions resources.

  • They're really getting out of reach.
