Reality check. ODSP max is $1,408 a month, roughly 60% below the poverty line. After rent, the math is brutal.
If you can help or RT, it matters.

Hey turbo dweebs. Is there a UK version of something like this?

Ideally either no subscription fees, no connectivity required, and definitely good privacy, idfk.
At the very least, is there a DIY or open source of something similar?
