224 Injured After Glitchy Diabetes App Drains Insulin Pump Batteries
  • The two most popular pumps use apps and/or app-based systems (the tandem - mentioned in the article, and the Omnipod). Most if not all modern pumps utilize similar setups. The Omnipod doesn't have any controls on the device attached to the body and depends solely on it's connection to another device. That's what I'm using and honestly, it's way more convenient than having to carry around extra devices when my pockets are already packed full of random other diabetic paraphernalia I need to survive. Developers of these apps need to put better testing in place to avoid these kinds of situations. I know other diabetics complain about the slowness of some updates and changes in apps, but this is exactly why development in this space needs to move slower and be more methodical.

    Trackers for audio content
  • I'm hosting slskd and Lidarr on Unraid and pretty much only using slskd as a download client. That way I can use Lidarr to rename/organize/tag everything like I want. Only drawback is still having to download stuff from the slskd web ui and then go back to Lidarr, so some of the automation benefits are lost. But soulseek has provided better quality and access to the music i'm looking for, so it's been worth it.
