Onion Prices Reach Record Highs; Data Center Security Guards Secure Soup Contracts for Three Years

Onion prices have surged to unprecedented levels, setting new records in markets across the country. Traders report that supply shortages, rising transportation costs, and increased demand have all contributed to the sharp increase, placing pressure on households and restaurants alike.

In response to the soaring prices, security guards working at several major data centers have taken an unusual step to manage costs. The guards have collectively signed contracts to secure soup supplies for the next three years, aiming to stabilize their food expenses amid ongoing market volatility.

Industry analysts say the spike in onion prices reflects broader trends in food inflation, which continues to impact consumers and businesses. Meanwhile, the long-term soup contracts highlight how workers are adapting creatively to rising living costs.

Market observers will be watching closely to see whether onion prices stabilize in the coming months or continue their upward trajectory.

It’s funny that Google is one of the developers of the JPEG XL format, but neither Chrome nor Android support this format.

P.S. funny thing №2: title image on jpeg-xl homepage is AVIF.

Night and day difference Pi 4 vs Pi 5. Pages on Pi 5 load almost instantly, scrolling is not always smooth in Firefox. Video playback still sucks though, watching Youtube in 1080@30 VP9 draws more power than prime95.

Convenience? Ok. But safety? Are door viewers unsafe?

I should really switch away but haven’t had the money

Why just not ditch the doorbell camera altogether?

I just bought an A34 for my mom. I was able to remove all the bloat directly from the launcher, except for some Galaxy apps. For the rest, I used ADB.

T stands for “travelers,” right?

We can insert quick speech fragments into the video, just like at the end of a radio commercial.

I think it’s because TikTok and Instagram create dopamine addiction with their feed algorithms. Fediverse social networks do not.

I used some css tweak to display a Sidebery on mouseover. But after the latest Firefox update it broke.
