Sent iVPN an email a few weeks back if they'd check all my requirements: - Wireguard in Switzerland - IPv6 /64 subnet - No bandwidth penalty Now they can only fill the last point, if they ever get all three they'll get a life

I'm using Pi-Hole in a lxc-container on a Omnia Turris router, blokada for my Android phone with uBlock Origin, Firefox with uBlock Origin on every computer I own and the router encrypts all traffic with WireGuard to several different

I think I know the company. We were almost acquired by them until they hit the rocks and we took a hit. Interesting to hear how that database was a pain to manage.

I did a test and converted one of my libraries to async/await and it was not that hard. There are easy converters between the future versions for the transition period. https://github.com/pimeys/a2/pull/3

In my previous job I wrote a push notification service[0] and a high traffic web server[1] with Rust. Both were rock solid and fast. Now at https://www.prisma.io/ we're converting our Scala codebase one module at a tim

It seems the market for people who can convert systems from other languages to Rust is starting to appear. At least in the last couple of months there has been quite a few offers in Berlin for people who can write and teach Rust.

I was kind of "lucky" Animas went bankrupt and they will take all the pumps back paying money for the insurance, so I get a new Dana RS earlier in a couple of months.

And if you want a smart watch able to show your glucose value, get a pebble if you can find one somewhere. The battery lasts 6-7 days and the e-ink screen is easy to read in the sunlight and will not blind you at night. Works with xDrip.

If you can to get the right pump, I highly recommend compiling one of these apps. Just wipes out all the competition from the commercial axis, truly life changing apps if you learn how to use them. https://github.com/MilosKo

Oh yeah. More than two beers in the evening: hypos in the morning, either 4am or sometimes when I woke up around noon. Also instead of taking sugar when going low, try using a system that counts your basal rates to the IoB. Then after a mea

Right now it seems there is official support only to prevent hypos, but not to give you more insulin at night when you ate something too heavy and didn't guess the right TBR. Only the open source AndroidAPS for Android and Loop for iOS

I've been using Dexcom now for two years, and it finally helped me to really understand certain weird things about my blood glucose, after having a type1 diabetes over 20 years. a) The morning peak is a dawn phenomenon. Solved with a h

I'm like you when I do any activity having insulin on board. I'm a T1 using a pump, and I really like the combination of a pump and CGM for staying away from surprises. I use AndroidAPS to monitor my glucose and insulin on board,

No. Keeping them running uses less electricity than spinning them up with our workload. The disks are floating with rubber connectors in the case and the noise is nothing we can hear to the bed. http://www.fractal-design.com&#x2F

I settled with a SuperMicro's passive Atom solution and a Fractal Design mini case, able to hold six disks. It is very quiet when you tune down the fans and keeps the disks just below 40°C which is optimal for me. We have the NAS in th

This is the reason I upgraded our Synology with a self-built NAS with six disks, a low-power Atom CPU and a really really good PSU connected to a UPS unit for extra security. Never save money with your NAS power solution.

This is the reason I still use a Pebble 2 smart watch, so I need to charge it once per week. For me the device is for displaying glucose values, so needing to charge it every day is not really an option.

If you want to get even better system using AndroidAPS, get the DanaRS pump, which is the only manufacturer allowing unofficial use. Before you must do some reading and understand the concepts. OpenAPS and AndroidAPS are state of the art sy

I had the same issues until I found a doctor who also has a type 1 diabetes. After I started going to her practice, my A1c dropped from 7.5 to 5.5-6.1 and I learned so much about keeping a good control. The one I was seeing before her once

The transmitter has a counter inside and will stop working after a certain day count. xDrip has a feature where one can reset the counter back to zero and I've been using them at least six months with no trouble.

Because of money. I know dentists who can change the battery. It is possible, but requires the right tools.
