100%. They've just guaranteed that the sous vide unit that I have now is the last Anova product I will ever buy.

I don't have an alternative program to suggest, but there are some workarounds for using redshift.
First, in the config file, you can set the location provider to manual, then specify a lat/lon and it will use that location in its time calculations. I do this on my laptop, and it works well except for when I cross multiple timezones - things are obviously off a bit.
Second, with the caveat that I haven't tried this, it looks like you can also manually set dawn/dusk times in the config, which sounds like what you're after.
See man 1 redshift for more info.
Look up some of the Japanese lore about Tanuki (the Japanese name for the raccoon dog). It involves magic, giant scrotums, and all sorts of delightful stuff.
If you like anime, Studio Ghibli (famous for a lot of classics including Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and others) did a movie called Pom Poko, which is about tanuki. If you don't care for subtitles, the English dub is pretty good, and the voice cast stars a lot of well known (for the time) American actors.
