I got called to come to my son's school to help change his insulin pod. I got there to discover that the app on his phone had thrown a memory corruption error and wiped out all of his insulin dosage settings

Fortunately, I have been keeping a copy of those settings in a self-hosted git repository, mostly so that I could look through the git history and see how the numbers change over time. This helps me understand the impacts that some of these changes are having

So there I am in his school's office on my phone reading a CSV off of my @forgejo instance and plugging all of his dosage settings back into the app on his phone

We use these tools to store our source code. But here I am using it for the code that keeps my son alive.

@tom @forgejo

What a great example of #FOSS saving lives. Hope your son is doing alright!

@sam doing ok thanks. Fortunately not life threatening because it shut down the old pod when it had the issue.

We just had a crabby kid sitting in front of his lunch unable to eat in until we could get everything reconfigured and the new pod set up

@tom that's good to hear!
