Reddit's garbage app just keeps getting worse
  • They're fucking it up 50X faster than a single dev could accomplish.

    Oh, and they have all the access to the backend that no third party app developer has. What a fucking pack of amateurs.

    CRTC reaches major milestone to make cellphone plans cheaper for Canadians
  • I had ordered a SIM from them, then threw it in the drawer and promptly forgot about it. I'm going to see if I can find that again, thanks for the reminder.

    just found out my foster, chuck, has some pretty serious surgery on the way
  • My only caution is that the recovery is pretty hard. Ours had a bit of a nerve issue afterwards from the spinal tap that shut her rear end down entirely, so she couldn't use her good leg to get around. We ended up having to rig a sling to carry her rear for her when she needed to move. I was worried it was going to be permanent but she eventually got everything back working, but it took a couple months.

    Is there a way to mass block lemmy communities?
  • I wish there was something like RES where you hover the community name in the list item and it pops up a frame you can choose Block on.

    just found out my foster, chuck, has some pretty serious surgery on the way
  • Got TPLO surgery done on my Chessie a few years back. I was unconvinced at the time that it would be useful long term, but it was a massive success with her. We got another 6 years of hunting and playing that she wouldn't have gotten without it.

    It's not cheap, but if the dog is relatively young, I think it's worth it.

    Canada detects suspected China-backed 'information operation' targeting Conservative MP
  • I'm of two minds on this; the Cons would seem to support business at the detriment of the Canadian public, so offshoring would bolster profits of these businesses and therefore desirable to both sides. But Canadian conservatives seem to have a healthy distrust of the CCP, which doesn't seem to be so big of a hot button for the Liberals, especially give the high support they enjoy from immigrants, which are largely Chinese. So it could go both ways. Obviously the CCP have latched on to the Liberals, but I actually think they could make more inroads more easily by greasing the Conservatives financially and by making it easier for Canadian firms to do business in China.

    Both parties are schizophrenic when it comes to the Chinese. I think when it comes to getting elected (the primary driver of the LPC), they'll publicly support China, but when they're in power they'll do what they can to keep them down in the interests of Canadians.

    Canada detects suspected China-backed 'information operation' targeting Conservative MP
  • The CSIS documents reveal that the campaign’s primary goals were to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.

    So I'd say decidedly "anti".

    CRTC reaches major milestone to make cellphone plans cheaper for Canadians
  • Does anyone know of a Canadian provider that offers an IOT data plan for multiple SIMs that share the data pool? I have a pile of telemetry devices I'd like to move to LTE with minor data needs per month each, but I need a low monthly cost per device with a shared data pool of like 5GB.

    Has anyone installed solar panels? What has been your experience? DIY install extra appreciated.
  • 140 is a little light but yah, it's definitely a solar thing only. It's possible it bounced over the 150 for a very short time to trip the cutout, and the 140 number you're seeing is a time-smoothed average in your reporting system. If you're using something trustworthy like a Smartshunt to get that data, then yah, tripping 10V short isn't great.
