Years ago when I was a late teen and living at my mother's, she was at work as a cashier. She called my one morning and this was the conversation : Mom - do me a favor, go into my bedroom my phone should be on the nightstand. Can you grab it and bring it to me?

Me - you're at work on break right?

Mom - yeah

Me - how are you calling me?

Mom - silence

Mom - nevermind, I have it....

An irrational percentage for an irrational tarrif... Its fitting

University of Oregon: 94.5% students authorize a strike for raise and two paychecks per month. University violated state law issuing paychecks more than 35 days apart. in c/[email protected]

From my experience with a fortune 500 company, it's about using that money in the time span between checks. So say you have 100,000 in weekly paychecks due, if you invest that in a week you will technically make more than if you didn't(probably, maybe not this week)

Funny story of the at one about 10 years ago I rented a room in a house with these two old(60+) alcoholics. We split the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month ($90 per person). At the time I was about to move across the country and was doing business trips back and and forth. This month I was there for about 1 week. The cable bill came in and it was close to a grand.

They wanted me to pay $350 and I said no! I called the cable company and asked why it was so high. They said it was from like 14 porn movies being purchased all from one cable box(I never even unboxed mine) over a week end. They gave me the serial of the box and I checked all the boxes. I found out who it was, I payed my $90 dollars and told them to figure out the rest. I moved out the end of the next month, never did learn what happened to the bill(wasn't in my name thankfully).

I agree and haven't returned but lemmy hasn't hit critical mass yet.... Like I don't recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.

How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend? in c/[email protected]

The irony of pointing this out when there is literally one less hour of the weekend this weekend...

How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yes but for example for seizures I want a simple form, not having to type in entries. Especially for siezures, it's normally a busy event of caring for him, having to add a seizure taking more than a minute means it probably won't be used.

Both good suggestions, thanks for the ideas

I didn't know they had free tiers... I'll look into it

Hmm...i do have a raspberry pi that isn't being used... Since it's asp.net should be Linux compatible... Not a bad idea

How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible? (programming.dev)
 

So background, my kid has seizures often. He is currently on 5 different medications to try to control it(plus 1 for sleeping and 1 for his liver enzymes) plus severe non verbal autism so he can't tell us if he already had his meds. Currently when it's medication time, it's always "did you give him his meds yet?" and we have no way of tracking how many seizures he actually has besides "alot more recently" or "it's gone down recently". Yes he had multiple doctors and this is NOT a post looking for health advice.

I am creating an app for phones(c# Maui) which will send json objects to a api to store/retrieve data in a database(when he last had medication x, when he has a seizure etc). It will probably only be used with in my family, maybe 20 entries a day on a really bad day(7 medications twice daily + 6 seizures to give a round number) but should be less then 10 transactions(most medications given at same time).

What's the cheapest/easiest was I can host something like this? I do not have a static ip. Yes it's health information but I'm only storing first names and tracking time of events, not too worried about hippa like security.

People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though? (programming.dev)
 

The only possible exceptions I can think of are fish(I imagine gills and mouth are not connected but don't really know). I am excluding bacteria and viruses and I believe they don't really breath(correct me if I'm wrong).

Is there a programming specific distro? (programming.dev)
 

I know there choice of distro is really meaningless as you can install almost any program on almost any distro. But I have been playing with kali which is for security people and pen testers. Is there a similar distro for programmers? Like a few ides installed some profiling tools some virtual environment tools etc?

Weird bug/feature on pixel 6 I just discovered (programming.dev)
 

I don't know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.

From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn't need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be "on" (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn't need to be unlocked.

Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people's phone too?
