I used Tasker to make my phone vibrate in Morse code. Now I don't have to take it out of my pocket to read a notification.
I've automated almost all of my diabetes management into a level I basically can look into graphs and decide the level I want my glucose to go. For glucose monitoring I use Dexcom G5 sensors[0] and xDrip[1] open source monitoring application for Android. Insulin delivery is handled by a Accu-Chek Spirit Combo[2] pump, that is one of the rare pumps with a Bluetooth connection. The entity deciding the basal rates and c…
Forgetting to bolus and accounting for the dawn phenoemenon are pretty challenging in a backpackers routine. :-)

I've tried Mint... aside from the security I neither trust its privacy model nor did I see it working very well either.
It actually gets a lot better at categorization the more you use it. It has at least some primitive machine learning (possibly rules engine?). Categorize a transaction once and it usually gets it right subsequently.

Off-topic: do you like your reMarkable? In particular, how's writing on it?
I love it. I use it heavily every day. The hardware is awesome, the software is not quite there yet but they keep shipping updates so I'm hopeful it'll get there at some point. I do not write that often on it though. I usually solve math problems on it and also comment on PDF docs. All in all, I'd buy it again :)

But one of the more usefull automations is a text2speach script which fires in the morning between 6 and 11, during workdays, when I'm not asleep but still at home, always 7 minutes before the next train…
Then there's a cron job that beeps on the hour (a 4-bit number from 1-12), so I can hear if my computer and watch are in sync.
Digital archiving of important physical mail is a nice way to go paperless and keep track of documents. Get a good scanner and shredder, then set up a system to track your scanned documents. No more misplacing files and having to stuff cabinets with papers. Proxy phone number via Twilio or Google Voice for the times when you'd rather not give your real number out. Audio translations for digital books using espeak + p…

I wouldn’t be that pleased with a childcare facility taking photos of my kid then putting them on the internet. I suspect I’m in a small minority though.
Why?
Why do you ask?
Ok, I'll bite! About 20 years ago I inherited enough money to retire on for the rest of my life. But the only evidence of those assets was, a dot matrix printout that anyone could have done in five minutes. So over the next few weeks, I created accounts in the various share registries and online banking websites, and manually cross-checked the printed list against those accounts. All was good, but I wanted to do that…
