I am currently working on a breastfeeding tracker for Garmin devices. It is already released a time ago, but I want to include a companion app for this app.

I used it with my first child, and it helped me greatly. After releasing the support has been amazing and I recently passed 1000 downloads :)

I am hoping to extend the functionality with more insights and helpful tips (double-checked with professionals) to help young parents with the beauty of breastfeeding their newborn children.

Don't underestimate the will of young children to do what is 'forbidden'. Especially when in puberty, they will find ways.

They are humans as well and can therefore think ;)

Stand up at around 6:15, no snoozing the alarm. Get a glass of water and some yoghurt, cereals, fruit or bread, at least something light and not too heavy because after that I run around 30 minutes with my dog. This is my exercise and the dog needed to walk anyway. I do this 5 times a week.

After that drink a cup of coffee, and another glass of water, after which I first go to work at around 7:30, where I start with reviews, testing changes, and get through email. Standup is at 9:15, when I get another cup of coffee. The rest of the day is just cruising along; coding some stuff, fixing bugs, having some meetings etc... Usual SWE stuff.

Having started early, I can finish early, which gives me time for cooking, which I find very important. Because I already had my exercise in the morning, evenings are for me, my family and friends.

Weekends are similar, except I wake whenever I naturally awake, so my body and mind can recover where necessary, Although most of the time I still am awake at around 7:00.

This routine works very well for me. I try to keep low on alcohol and caffeine, of which the first one is going very well, but the second one a little less since I had a child a few months ago. Oh well...

Author here. I made a simple small app for my wife to track breastfeedings and bottles on her Garmin smartwatch.

I deliberately made it simple without fluff. You have a baby in your hand while feeding, so the app needs to get out of the way :)

Happy to answer questions!

A Dutch satire program had an item on this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WflYjsaC19g). A lot of these injuries is with the elderly and the teenagers. It is suggested that this due to the rise of e bikes, which go faster.

A helmet should be required for ebikes.

Or program a GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address.

I get your point, but the fact remains that the interface is miles ahead of Google, just by not having all the garbage.

The results are fine for me in day to day usage and I find that Google will not provide me with better results if I cant find it on DDG.

Would it be better if they had their own indexer? Maybe...

What's even more frustrating was the removal of 32-bit apps in Catalina and the continued deprecation of OpenGL. So many functional apps where the developers have lost interest are now non-functional. Not to even start on the irritating, vista-like security prompts for apps that are not signed (which in development is a lot...).

MacOS has become less and less pleasant to use in that last 3 to 5 years for me as a developer, because of this. Which is such a shame, because the new Macbook Pro's are really amazing machines, hardware-wise. Great keyboard, Magsafe, no Touchbar, amazing screen and great battery life.

I will be requesting a Linux (or Windows.. whatever) laptop at work if this one dies.

Counts become incredibly slow on some databases like Postgres. It needs to do a sequential scan, which results in slow(er) performance on even a ten- thousands of rows. When operating at scale, this is very, very slow.

I find it hard to call this a good argument for why this is. If an appliance does not work out of the box, it is not finished and not ready to ship to customers.

The game industry does this, which is crap, but appliances are people use to cook their meals and should not be unfinished.

If you are right, it should be illegal.

Booking at the venue itself will almost always be cheaper and provide more luxuries like a free drink in the bar or free breakfast.

The third party takes a cut of the cost. The hotel wants that cut badly, so just call them up, say you found a cheaper price at the third party and see what they do. They will likely give you a better offer and they themselves will have a better profit as well in the proces.

Don't get me wrong, but that implies she is not using Firefox as her daily driver.

Changing the icon to, shudder, the edge icon might help and call it "Internet" and maybe she will use it. Most people do not really know, or care, that their browser is.

I do this with very un - techsavvy people and install uBo and they have a fairly safe time online.

Author here. I have had some suggestions for this, because of this post. I have experimented a little, but I first want to fully understand what is going on in the mail landscape.

I want to write a beginner friendly guide on selfhosted mail in the future, so if you happen to have some tips, or things you want to know about, let me know!

Although it does not become clear from blogpost, I have another device and a backup server, so it is okay for me :)

Thank you for sharing! Feel free to reach out to me, so we could share some thoughts. I am always open for learning new things :)

> IRB now supports autocomplete, and even shows the documentation when you tab through the options.

Oh this is pretty useful. How many times have I not wanted to learn about how to use a function. Showing the documentation when tabbing through the options can save me a lot of time browsing through the ruby docs. Looking forward to using this while working.

Good to see Ruby is still moving forward :)

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. Will definitely check this out!

> Generally, supporting open interoperable standards that make switching providers easy is bad for business, so I'm generally a lot more surprised at where it is supported, rather than at where it isn't.

Exactly this. Google makes it very, very easy to have everything synced to a Google account on Android devices: just log in and it just works. You contacts, mail and calendar are all immediately available on your new device. If they'd implement CalDAV in an easy manner, it would probably be a more viable option for less tech-savvy people.

What the parent commenter said: from a business perspective it doesn't make sense to implement it.

Fortunately there are some good, relatively simple to use apps available to implement it for us.

>rather than the author's one-time export solution, and they seem to work ok. The reason why a simple one-time export was my go-to solution, is because I really don't want my data on Google's servers. In the blogpost I explain how to import the data to Nextcloud and use that as a 'single source of truth'. Other devices can then sync up to your nextcloud instance.

I don't have an iPhone, so I'm not sure how/if this would work on iOS, but I am sure that it's possible to sync it up in a similar manner.

Interesting; I am quite hesitant to move from Protonmail to a selfhosted mail. How long have you been selfhosting your mail? How do you deal with spam? Are your mails always received at the other end?

Love to hear about this!

Hi Teekert! Thank you for your feedback; I will 'unexpose' the mariadb port in this example. That is one less service open for exploiting! :)

I now about Traefik, but I use the Synology reverse proxy at the moment. I felt that it is not fair to include it in this blogpost, since it is not an open source solution and not truely in the spirit of selfhosting. I plan to make the switch in the future to another reverse proxy like Traefik, Caddy or maybe just Nginx, not sure yet.

Could you give me the link to the blogpost? I might link to it :) Quality conten t must be shared and I think we as selfhosters should make it as approachable as possible for newcomers.

Author of the blogpost. Thank you for your feedback. The problem with hardware choice, is that many selfhosters have really low-power, budget, powersaving hardware, including myself. The point of this article was for me to discover how I could move some of my data away from Google, of which this is one piece.

I had this running on a Raspberry Pi 4 in this blogpost, which functioned just fine; although only with one user and little apps installed. I might do a follow up when I have used Nextcloud more extensively and explore different hardware options.
