Marinara Starita in a restaurant called Starita in the city of Naples. Sourdough crust and amazing tomato sauce. After that New York style pepperoni pizza and detroit style vodka sauce deep dish.

It is actually quite nice. You sudo something in the terminal and can just swipe your finger to the reader without needing to type your password.

Talking about Stephen King, Misery is a great movie.

I never really watched any horror movies until this October we binge watched almost 40 movies from that genre.

I agree, some of the absolute greatest films are from that genre, and you can find very interesting stuff from there if you dig a bit.

I’m now kind of mad at how I didn’t find Evil Dead earlier in my life. Or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre…

I didn’t like The Dark Knight at all. It was just kind of boring and the acting didn’t do anything for me.

I also think Nolan is highly overrated.

I would love to spend a night with him, sitting together at a kitchen table, him constantly ranting about movies and giving anecdotes, me pouring more wine…

I think this is the beauty of Tarantino.

If you ever visit Hamburg, this place will blow your mind:

https://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/

I don’t even have words to tell you how cool that place is. We went to an art exhibition in Hamburg, and kind of accidentally went to see that place too. Like, they have day/night cycle there. They have trains with little cameras on top of them so you can travel in them. They have model planes landing and they have cruise ships going in real water.

So damn cool.

Divide and conquer…

Yeah. All of the tools have been there for years. The German health insurance pays for the pumps and sensors, but there hasn’t been manufacturers opening up their Bluetooth protocols and allowing to connect with non-authorized devices, except for the past few years. Manufacturers, such as the Korean Dana Diabecare, or the American Dexcom are pretty relaxed with 3rd party apps. If you get the right hardware, you can definitely make your life much easier as a diabetic.

AndroidAPS is an artificial pancreas. They are not legal yet, or there are a few commercial ones with inferior features compared to this software and which are very expensive. The software reads your glucose from your upper arm using a sensor, and either gives you insulin or stops the delivery based on the estimate.

It connects to many different glucose sensors and pumps, provides a common interface and algorithms for them.

It is the research platform for commercial software to come. It is extremely helpful for Type 1 diabetics. Because it does not have approval as a medical software you cannot distribute binaries. You can legally compile it from sources, which is why it is for Android where you can easily sideload apps compared to the competing platforms.

xDrip is a tool that connects many different glucose sensors and gives you real time info about your levels. It enables continuous measurements with systems such as Freestyle Libre, which was only working with NFC officially.

The open source diabetes scene is quite popular in Germany. It has made our lives with T1 much easier.

Android is the only phone OS I can use due to the available diabetes apps (AndroidAPS, xDrip), so I can’t really switch to anything else. Pixel phones are really good. I try to avoid YouTube as much as I can, use Fastmail for emails and SearXNG for search. Maybe I’m… mid?

Ugh, luckily I’ve been able to choose my hardware and OS for the past… 16 years at work. I would hate to use somebody else’s choice of desktop for programming. Actually once said no to a work offer when they said they’ll give only MacBooks for the people.

Zinc just when it starts. These candies you let to dissolve in your mouth. One every two hours when the first symptoms start and if lucky, the next day the symptoms are gone.

In US they sell them with the brand name Cold-Eeze, and similar products are available in some EU countries but not in all of them.

Oh, and a lot of tea.

What is still missing from these replies: Hannibal was almost better than The Silence of the Lambs. And Mads Mikkelsen might’ve been a better Hannibal than Hopkins…

The Wire and The Bear are so easy to rewatch and kind of similar…

All of these are so good. And of course the Adventure Time including the new gender bender spinoff.

Yep. But you pay only for the CPU time you use and very often the only IO you can do is HTTP due to the runtime.

Don’t forget mailing lists! LKML FTW

If you want something that is quite a nice editor too but doesn’t require hundreds of lines of configuration, try helix. It also has nice help menus so it’s fast to learn. I’ve used vim since the 90’s and Emacs for many years, but nowadays I kinda just like hx how it just works with zero configuration for any programming language I need to work with.

Or weed…
