#nightscout

[clatterbane]

Some kind soul on Reddit pointed me at exactly the kind of desktop widget that I was looking for, to display blood sugar readings right on your computer desktop. Somehow I missed this one before.

This also floats, for those of us with extreme "out of sight, out of mind" shit going.

It's also easily dragged around the screen.

Owlet is cross-platform, though there are other options if you're on Windows. (Here's one that also looked promising.) I was honestly a little surprised at the paucity of obvious options on Linux. Since this is Electron, it should also be workable on FreeBSD. I haven't tried. Mac users are of course also covered.

Planning to continue to run the KDE web widget in the taskbar here, for easy access to the graph even when Owlet is hidden.

Sadly, Owlet is actually covered up by the taskbar widget. So, no full Nightscout-ception experience.

Just sharing in case any other absentminded control freak could use a handy cross-platform widget like this.

I’m still so confused, I’ve had Xdrip running on my phone for a while, but setting up a site and connecting the data for nightscout to function IS STILL SO CONFUSING TO ME. I see the words but I don’t really get what its asking me to do. Can anyone help me out? Does anyone know of like a youtube video tutorial that could help me out or something??

When you tell your T1 that they have to bolus for everything that they eat whilst trick or treating...So grateful for Nightscout, so I can keep an eye on him and he can still feel like a kid! #nightscout #nightscoutformedtronic #medtronic670g #wearenotwaiting #t1d #t1dlife #halloween2018 #justwaitingforthecrash #oy #owenpatrick #diabadass (at Weemacs HQ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpnl-l_FrOI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=adoqc37ydc2c

EASD Lissabon 2017 ... nur wenig Lichtblicke

EASD Lissabon 2017 … nur wenig Lichtblicke

Der diesjährige EASD fand im wunderschönen Lissabon statt. Neben dem jährlichen Blogger Event von Roche, war ich auch dieses Mal wieder auf dem EASD unterwegs um zu schauen, was es evtl. Neues für uns zu erwarten gibt. Roche #DiabetesMeetUp: Im Vorfeld hatte ich schon einige Überlegungen angestellt, was Roche mit uns dieses Jahr wohl vor hat … Es kam allerdings ganz anders als ich gedacht habe.…

So I saw a lot of people were asking to try this, so I worked on developing a public version, and this is the result!

It requires a working Nightscout site (information can be found here https://nightscout.github.io/), but that’s pretty easy to set up if you follow the instructions on the page, and it’s free!

It also, pretty obviously, requires the Computercraft mod. For recent versions of minecraft, this mod is maintained under the name CC:Tweaked.

Then, just craft an advanced computer, and type:

pastebin get hpz5vuuf startup

[Press ENTER]

startup

[Press ENTER]

From there, the program will walk you through the setup process!

I recommend using it with an attached 3x2 or 1x1 monitor, but it will also function without, or even on a pocket computer.

Features include:

Color coded blood glucose display and delta, with directional arrow.

For use both on monitors, computers, and pocket computers!

Customizable background colors!

Customizable redstone outputs based on blood glucose states (output signal right when low, for example).

Settable ranges for low, in range, high, and extreme high.

Auto updating, for bug fixes or new features in the future.

Let me know if anyone has any trouble getting things configured! <3

people who play modded minecraft are truly doing it like no other

the clinic that set me up with nightscout told me my api secret twice and I still haven't written it down and I somehow got disconnected from nightscout again? Idk why maybe because the app updated? Or because I turned it off when I went on vacation but now I can't turn it back on. Anyway I'm using xDrip+ and I didn't realize I couldn't connect to nightscout until today and I have an appointment at 2 and I'll have to ask for my api secret for a third time so they can see my blood sugar. Oops.

We are also now back in business with CGM readings on the watch!

That was honestly the main reason I got a smartwatch in the first place, but hasn't been doable since I switched the CGM reader over to the new phone. Which the watch has repeatedly refused to pair with. 🤬 I really do need to get that worked out, even if it does require seeking some advice on the GrapheneOS forum. What info I have found did NOT fix whatever issue it's having during the pairing process.

But anyway, I caved and just reconnected the watch to the busted screen Samsung phone I had been using it with all along. Which meant no handy blood sugar data feed anymore.

Only now, with the help of a working Nightscout site, we're back!

Spionageaktivitäten gegen Regierungen

ESET Forscher decken Spionageaktivitäten gegen Regierungen und andere Ziele auf. Hackergruppe Gelsemium hat es mit der Malware Gelsevirine auf hochkarätige Organisationen, Unternehmen und Behörden in Ostasien und dem Nahen Osten abgesehen. ESET Forscher haben mehrere Kampagnen analysiert, die sie der Cyberspionage-Gruppe Gelsemium zuschreiben. Dabei haben die Experten des europäischen IT-Sicherheitsherstellers das eingesetzte Schadprogramm Gelsevirine zurückverfolgt. Bei den Untersuchungen fanden die Forscher eine neue Version der Malware. Gelsevirine zielt auf Regierungen Die Opfer ihrer Kampagnen befinden sich in Ostasien sowie im Nahen Osten und umfassen Regierungen, religiöse Organisationen, Elektronikhersteller und Universitäten. Bislang ist es der Gruppe gelungen, weitgehend unter dem Radar zu bleiben. Ihre Ergebnisse haben die Forscher in einem Whitepaper auf Welivesecurity veröffentlicht. Die ESET-Forscher glauben, dass Gelsemium hinter dem Supply-Chain-Angriff gegen BigNox steckt, der zuvor als Operation NightScout gemeldet wurde. Dabei handelte es sich um einen von ESET gemeldeten Supply-Chain-Angriff, der den Update-Mechanismus des Android-Emulators NoxPlayer kompromittierte. NoxPlayer ist Teil der Produktpalette von BigNox mit weltweit über 150 Millionen Nutzern. Die Untersuchung deckte einige Überschneidungen zwischen diesem Supply-Chain-Angriff und der Gelsemium-Gruppe auf. Opfer, die ursprünglich durch diesen Supply-Chain-Angriff kompromittiert wurden, wurden später durch Gelsemine kompromittiert.     Passende Artikel zum Thema Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Exploring the Visual Studio Code REST Book extension for native Notebooks

My co-worker Tanha Kabir has a cool Visual Studio Code extension called REST Book. Sure, there's lots of extensions and lots of ways to call REST APIs from Visual Studio Code - not to mention the command line.

However, REST Book is a Postman-like notebook that uses the Native Notebooks UI experience that's already built into Visual Studio code.

If you already love the concept of Notebooks like I do, you'll love REST Book. It's electric paper! Just like .NET Interactive or Jupyter Notebooks, it mixes Prose and Code in a very clean and very intuitive interface.

NOTE: Today the REST Book extension requires Visual Studio Code Insiders, but not for long. Get Insiders and run it side-by-side with a stable VS Code here.

Here's me calling into my Nightscout server to see my real-time Blood Glucose:

Pretty cool. It's early days but I think Tanha already has a very interesting combination of a native Notebook experience and a Postman-like experience. Note I've also created a "SECRET" in the form of my API Key, and then I can refer to it in the GET request using $SECRETS.name.

You can also assign variables like:

let foo = GET https://hanselman.com

and then use them in subsequent cells with $.foo.headers.User-Agent, etc.

Just install the Rest Book extesnion in VS Code Insiders, and make a new empty text file with a .restbook extension.

You can do GET and have the URL on multiple lines if you split on a ? or &

GET https://www.google.com ?query="hanselman" &page=2 User-Agent: rest-book Content-Type: application/json

And you can POST and each new line will be a Header, until the last lines after a line separator which is the body of the call.

POST https://www.myexampleapi.com User-Agent: rest-book Content-Type: application/json { name: "Hello", text: "Hi friends, how are you all?" }

If you want to get involved, look at the source, file an issue or bug, or just give compliments, do it over on her repository at https://github.com/tanhakabir/rest-book Have fun!
