ntfy VS py_regular_expressions

Slightly related, but I've also been working on and off for a few years on my own Type 1 Diabetes management solution (https://github.com/algao1/iv3).

I haven't had time to work on it recently, but it uses ntfy (https://ntfy.sh/) to send alerts and such.

I was thinking of eventually incorporating some kind of automatic remedial solution eventually to help keep my glucose in range, but haven't had any time to look into it yet.

If you go to the settings, there should be a notification category, which then contains another menu "App Notifications" where you can see all the apps that are allowed to receive notifications, but I don't know if this will stop google play services to receive these identifiers.

I use GrapheneOS, so I don't have any google play services running, but for the apps where I need notifications I use https://unifiedpush.org/ (only a few apps implement it) and I host my own https://ntfy.sh server.

Kind of similar, in the early days of COVID, I accidentally discovered that my state's website would have test results available several hours before they sent out the "view your results" email. So I made a script that would check the site every five or ten minutes and then ping me as soon as the result changed to something besides PENDING.

In the course of that I stumbled on https://ntfy.sh/ which solved the notification problem without needing Twitter, and I've used it since then to let me know when long-running scripts complete.

I connect any app that supports https://unifiedpush.org/ to a self hosted https://ntfy.sh instance for fully self hosted push notifications

changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh

For further monitoring & alerting about critical cpu temperatures (unlikely now) for example, I plan to use notify & something else. Haven't thought about this much yet though.

I've started tossing https://ntfy.sh/ alerts into my Deno apps to get push notifications for things I'm interested in

ntfy.sh

If it was for fun and to learn how, that's fair. But are you aware of https://ntfy.sh?

These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook (free to read online).

This new version is a TUI app built with Textual. Previous one was written using `tkinter` [0] and covered only four of the `re` functions.

Now, any valid Python expression is accepted as a solution. Both the builtin `re` and third-party `regex` modules are covered.

These exercises have been adapted from my Understanding Python re(gex)? ebook [1] (free to read online, and PDF/EPUB versions are free till the end of this month).

I'd appreciate your feedback, happy learning :)

Last year, I did a similar project for 75 Python regular expressions exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

That was with Tkinter. I'm planning to update the regex book next year (to add new features like possessive quantifiers and other misc changes). Along with this update, I'll probably make a TUI version and add support for rest of the exercises.

If you are interested in Python regex, here's my tkinter app with 75 interactive exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/py_regular_expressions/tre...

This assumes you already know Python regex. If you'd like learn first, see my free ebook: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/

I have an entire book dedicated for learning regex from the basics, with hundreds of examples and exercises. I cover both re and third-party regex module. It is free to read online: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_regular_expressions/
