In addition, in some places (where I live) the air quality is extremely poor for much of the summer due to wildfire smoke. So even if you do get a cool night, if you don't have AC you have to choose between maintaining some level of ai

> It's an excellent hobby. I can explain more why if people are interested. I'm interested in your why. It's something I've considered for a while but haven't actually started on yet.

Related question: what is everyone using to run a local LLM? I'm using Jan.ai and it's been okay. I also see OpenWebUI mentioned quite often.

Shameless plug for my own project ( https://grocerytracker.ca/ ) since you're in Canada. Eventually I'd love for it to do what you're suggesting, but for now the closest thing you can do is create a basket for

I’ve been scraping and tracking Canadian grocery prices for a few years, lots of ideas on how to do more with it if I had more time… http://grocerytracker.ca/

I’d be curious to hear more from OP on this as well. I’ve got my own price tracking site for Canadian groceries ( http://grocerytracker.ca/ ) but my primary goal has been to get information in the hands of average Canadians s

I’ve got a site with the price history aspect for Canadian groceries ( http://grocerytracker.ca/ ), but the community groups/public lists idea is interesting. I definitely feel like there is a lot of potential in this sp

In Canada I think they are legally required to, but sometimes it can be frustrating if they don’t always compare like units - one product will be price per gram or 100 grams, and another price per kg. I’ve found with online shopping, the un

Absolutely! It’s made it difficult to implement some of the cross-retailer comparison features I would like to add. For my charts I’ve just manually selected some products, but I’ve also been trying to get a “good enough but not perfect” st

Interesting. I suspect I may have the same thing. I also have poor vision without glasses, and I’ve always found that when I go swimming (and can’t wear my glasses) my hearing also gets significantly worse. Or at least the cocktail party pr

Are there specific laws that deal with rate limits? Honest question - I get that something too fast could be considered DDoS, but so long as it’s below a certain threshold wouldn’t it be okay (not sure how said threshold would be determined

I know it doesn’t solve the problem for everyone, but many public libraries offer free access to Consumer Reports.

Agreed on the stores. Cities/locations should be sorted by distance from your location.

No, but I’ll admit that is my biggest hesitation in promoting it beyond what I already do. Walmart has the most aggressive blocking (in general, I don’t think specifically directed at my site) and I haven’t been able to get new data from th

If I had unlimited time I would love to. Unfortunately I can’t see it expanding beyond Canada anytime soon though.

Not for Big Macs, but if you’re interested I’ve been collecting Canadian grocery price data over the past couple of years here: https://grocerytracker.ca/

Agreed that legal clarity is important - especially for smaller players. I've built a significant hobby site that relies fairly heavily on scraping (grocery price comparison site). I believe what I'm doing is morally okay, and als
