This sounds great! The main barrier I see is getting everyone I want to install the app. Perhaps a "mass-SMS" variant could work, so it's independent of whatever messaging apps everyone runs.

Direct Medtronic insulin pump -> Pebble watch connection, so I can read my blood glucose easily without a phone nearby. It's incredibly useful!

This builds on some marvellous reverse engineering work done over at https://github.com/OpenMinimed.

I'm not sure why but this seems very phone dependent. I can stand next to another person, both running Merlin in silence, and mine will pick up much more than some people's phones. My phone is not particularly new (Zenfone 8).

I noticed these for the first time earlier this summer. Incredible insects! They really do give a hummingbird impression.

Very nice. Learned about `banner`. It'd be nice if zooming the page also zoomed the poster itself.

I've gotten used to this essential feature too via Semaphore CI, and I just can't stand not being able to SSH into a GitHub Action. Debugging is so slow.

Not all though, I've been looking at Minimed pump reverse engineering (which would be just reading glucose data, not controlling the pump), and that's not solved yet, at least not for the 780G. But I hope it will be, and perhaps I'll be able to contribute.

Some password managers like 1Password can do the two-factor stuff for you, so you don't have to pull out your phone. On the fully supported pages it'll just autofill your username, main password, and one-time password.

The only app I have that I actually like. It's great.

Those of you who use ROS in production, do y'all use ROS 1 or 2? Do you maintain your own fork? I'm curious how people do this, with the upcoming Noetic deprecation.

I've been fiddling a lot with getting my CGM glucose data on a smartwatch, in a way that I like, recently. I'm in the middle of a small series of posts on my silly blog here: https://fyhn.lol/blog/glucose-watch/

I love the font. Maybe particularly because it's kind of big, so you can see the details. It seems to be EB Garamond: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB_Garamond

This is very interesting, and I (T1D) would like to learn more. However, the e-mail signup doesn't work for me. ("Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.")

Home: A 13-inch Asus Zenbook from 2014 (UX32LN) now running Ubuntu (MATE) 22.04. It's still good!

Work: A recent 13-inch Dell XPS that shipped with Ubuntu 22.04. It's also great, but the function key row has been replaced with touch buttons which is not good at all (including the escape and delete keys).

Work, previously: A 13-inch Dell Latitude from 2017. I originally ran 16.04 on it, then 18.04 until the above replaced it. Worked very well. Had every port you can wish for, including ethernet. Eventually the battery swelled and the keyboard stopped working.
