Yes, I'm running self hosted
I've started using Actual Budget https://actualbudget.com/
I like having it here, like how it just fits in with the everyday ongoings in the local feed.
Public Mobile is owned by Telus, there shouldn't be the problems you describe. I live in the middle of nowhere with Lucky Mobile. Text and talk with no data is $15/month.
But that's not what is normal amoung my peers. The expenses look reasonable to me, but could be optimized further. Normally, optimizing your expenses that much wouldn't be your part time job, but with the current wage situation, that's where we are at.
Firefox will basically hand you want you need to interact with APIs, here is an example in Powershell of getting a milk price from Superstore for a specific store
$milk = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.pcexpress.ca/product-facade/v4/products/20658152_EA?lang=en&date=16092023&pickupType=STORE&storeId=1511&banner=superstore" `
-UserAgent "Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0" `
-Headers @{
"Origin_Session_Header" = "B"
"DNT" = "1"
"Business-User-Agent" = "PCXWEB"
"x-apikey" = "C1xujSegT5j3ap3yexJjqhOfELwGKYvz"
}
$milk.offers.price.value
The real question is with that apikey. I didn't see it change across browsers or anything. Is it hardcoded? Does it change regularly? Someone could probably find out if they did enough digging
Next Federal Election
When I think of the next federal election, I get a feeling of hopelessness. I feel like we're screwed no matter what.
Without any hope of electoral reform, I wonder if we can instead use the tools we have better.
Independents running always seems like a long shot. The cards are stacked against them. But would it be possible to make it easier for them?
One of my thoughts would be to use technology. Create a platform for people to engage with their local riding, stripped of obvious party association. And not pay-to-play for candidates.
Does an idea like that have merit? Do you have any other ideas?
Far and Wide Communications
Reptile Gardens near Brandon, MB. Lots of cool creatures there, and only a 1-2 hour stop, so you don't have to take a whole day to do like a zoo.
If they know you don't know NestJS, then they're probably not going to be looking to test your knowledge of NestJS. Ideally, the live coding test is designed to go beyond testing your knowledge. If you look at Bloom's Taxonomy https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Bloom's_Revised_Taxonomy.jpg/800px-Bloom's_Revised_Taxonomy.jpg you can see that knowledge is the base, what they will want to see is closer to the top of the pyramid.
This has got to have been a crazy campaign for Bernier. Slinking away from book banning meeting in Brandon, and getting out-conspiracy-theoried in Portage
If the butterfly garden is back at the zoo again, that's worth the price of admission itself.
Haha, I've lost all relevant when racing to the drop pod on battery, that makes things pretty challenging.
I found DRG to be fine on battery until you hit like 20%, then things get wild
