Built a small web site in #django over the weekend.
No AJAX, no SPA, almost entirely "old school" #html Forms driven (except a smidge of #htmx )
Amazing how simple and comfortable it felt. Just code flowing from my fingers and features appearing in short order.

What you need is some Aussie magpies! Not a corvid (somewhat related to the butcherbird), they've been witnessed teaming up to take down corvids...

This year I've decided to do the Pushups Challenge.
If anyone feels like contributing, it goes towards youth mental health support.

Here's hoping my arms hold out!

Don't you just love sleep?
In last night's sleep, I realised how I could replace the need for 150 lines of JS, with one line of #css .

#javascript #frontend #html #css Can anyone recommend a very lightweight charting lib?

Was just using #curl to help debug some network configuration issues with a client.
Realised we'd need to fake a hostname mapping to a specific IP, as we haven't set up the DNS aliases yet.
And, because it's curl, not only is there a way to do it, there's several well documented options!

Thanks, curl team!

what was the context around asking that question?
If it was stand alone, I can see why they might take it as "someone's preparing to sue me before we even begin".
However, if you couched it with "I have an ethical obligation to object to this from any service provider", they may have taken it differently.

Hey @npub12cu…d38p ... is there much of your stuff in audio-book format?

2025-06-17 04:12:59 GMT

OK, #django friends...
I thought the practice of loading fixtures as data migrations was quite commonplace, but I can't seem to find any credible guide / documentation on doing it easily, except for an app by Alex Hays for Django 1.7.
Any pointers?

It took me several support people before one of them set "Not Specified" (or similar) in the back end.
Going by the errors in the browser console, its sole purpose was for some ad endpoint.
Which is doubly peculiar, as I don't recall there being ads on their site.

Did I ever tell you about the fun* I had with them because my gender wasn't configured?
Despite there being no way to configure your gender in their interface.
*not actually fun.

TIL in my Dockerfile I can put
FROM --platform=linux/amd64
and solve the issue our Mac-based developer was having.

Might I suggest you reorder that page so the "benefits of being a member" comes before "the hoops you must jump through", so people know what they're aiming for?

Oh, right, I thought you were talking about board membership.
Previously when I've asked about DSF membership I was told you just had to sign up to the mailing list.

I just had a quick look at the website (https://www.djangoproject.com/foundation/ and https://www.djangoproject.com/foundation/faq/) and can not find:
1. what the requirements are
2. what duties are required for each role.
Certainly not knowing (2) is a major reason I've not tried to be involved.

Perfect timing! I was just about to start looking at this :)

Pretty sure Dramtiq covers those points, except maybe task chains [it's been a few years].
I know one django shop that's using their PG broker.
