Bazarr with a few services activated works great for me.

I don't know what you already do and what your insurance would cover but here's a list of things that helped me tremendously:

  1. I have two different inhalers. One for attacks and one prophylactic. Since I use the second one daily I haven't had an attack in 10+ years.

  2. Have an asthma diary. Measure your breath a few times a week and take notes. After a while you will recognize patterns days ahead when the chances for an attack might be higher. Medicate accordingly! I up the dosage for the prophylactic inhaler slightly when I see changes (e.g. during allergy season).

  3. Breath out! That one sounds stupid, I know. Paraxoically the major problem with asthma often is breathing out, not in. So there are breathing exercises where you learn to focus on breathing out to make way for easier breathing in. It can be as simple as counting to 5 while breathing in and counting to 8 while breathing out with a 2 seconds break before again breathing in. Adjust the numbers for you. It calms your breathing and can even help with an attack (though I would still use an inhaler then).

I also have my lungs screened every two years. Ever since I follow the above list my measurements get better over time even though I am slowly past the "it will heal by itself" age.

Where I am from all the above steps are covered by insurance. I know for example in the US inhalers can be obscenely expensive so step 1 might be a problem. But steps 2+3 are low cost and are still very beneficial. So I hope you can find something in the list that eases your burden.

20 years ago I was injured in one eye. Without an operation it would have left me going slowly blind. The operation was invented maybe 20 years earlier.

Both my eyes had a cataract at a quite early age. Artificial lenses where invented AFAIK 50 years ago. The new lenses even correct my shortsightedness and astigmatism!

So if I had lived only 50 years earlier I would be blind on one eye and quite possibly without a lense or at least seeing really foggy on the other. Now I am sitting here with - 0.5/-1 and otherwise great eye sight.

There are no words how grateful I am for the wonders of modern eye medicine.

Yes, it was Munich. And all things considered it worked quite well for a while.

After a while AFAIK the then new mayor called himself a "Microsoft fan" and tried to get Microsoft to build their new German HQ in Munich. So I am pretty sure there is no connection whatsoever between canceling Limux and switching back to Windows and Microsoft building a huge campus in Munich Freimann...

Nah, he used to work with databases but it's really not his passion.

I really love it, too.

Sorry for answering so late. Yes, just mark the invoice as paid or something. Your have to have the invoice in the system though as far as I know.

I use InvoiceNinja for what seems to be a very similar use case. After a doable learning curve I really like it. You can install it on bare metal or use docker.

It might be the unpopular option but I love my AppleTV. I used several sticks, a FireTV and a raspi before.

On the AppleTV with Swiftfin for jellyfin and VLC as a fall back all my local streaming needs are met. The hardware is great and the price is - well, let's say it's okay (but quite far above you limit I think). And most of all: it blew all of the other option out of the water in terms of convenience and user experience.

So if you have the money I recommend giving it a try.

Oh, so THAT is the real stop sign they put in front of FOSS marketplaces. Thanks for the link!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (6 children)

So, the .5 per annual install for alternative marketplaces seems to be the stop gap, right? A popular FOSS store like f-droid would have to cough up thousands of Euros.

Would it be possible to sell an alternative marketplace for 1 Euro on the app store, pay Apple's purchase commission and use the rest for the annual install fee?
