Hey dog nerds / makers. I was surprised to find there isn't a commercial option out there for detecting when a dog is doing a dump. For my pup at least an acellerometer that shows he is motionless and at an angle between standing and sitting should be a pretty good predictor of pooing behavior. I saw some blogs about a guy building something like this in 2014 but nothing further. An old smartwatch seems like a good place to start with this. Any suggestions for an app or way to script this on a galaxy watch? I'm not a coder, but curious to hear some thoughts on this.

Hi dog lovers. Where is everybody? Is there another sub? The cat people are kicking butt.

Little help if you can. My neighborhood is overrun by hungry deer (and we are not allowed to hunt them 😔). I put blood meal on my landscaping to prevent them from eating all my plants but it turns out my dog loves the stuff. He keeps literally eating the mulch and dirt and the plants I flavored for him and digging like crazy too. Any suggestions for a secondary safe treatment that I can put on to keep my little stinker away from the blood meal?

Total Lemmy newb. RIF refuge and not going back to reddit. I'm sure responses here will be biased and I know the system is stressed right now I guess, but does this server have a reputation for unreliability? I've been pretty disappointed with the uptime.

Saw my old foodnetwork hero AB disgrace himself on a commercial for snake oil brain sharpening pills. Such a pity to see someone that has a keen scientific mind turn his back on sound scientific logic for a quick buck. He knows this is garbage and it preys on his own fan base and the elderly. Suck on a cheesecloth sack of uncooked Rocky mountain oysters Alton.

Decent mildlyinteresting sub on Lemmy but it feels really barren out here (reddit refuge here). Can't find a sub for my breed of dog or my make of car. Looking for some suggestions for solid Lemmy subs to make me feel like there is something going on here.

Thx u.
