What'd you do? Install a new npm dependency? 😉

Types in tests feels like an odd one. Especially for libraries, it can be handy to have your tests typed to confirm the types are correct.
For application code, yeah there's little point

I recently spent a few hours building a feature only to find out it's already built in functionality which works even nicer than I had built.
Building things sucks!

2025-10-24 11:53:08 UTC

In April, Minio removed many of the features from their web interface on the free version. Last week, they stopped building the free version entirely, requiring you to build it yourself: https://github.com/minio/minio/commit/9e49d5e7a648f00e26f2246f4dc28e6b07f8c84a
My only use is for Terraform state, so the very second @npub12r3…zz58 ships their Terraform backend, I'll be burning my Minio install with fire!
What a great example of completely killing off your community.

After over 4 months of development, django-tasks 0.9.0 is out! 🥳
- Django 6.0 support
- RQ optimisations
- Dropped `enqueue_on_commit` support
- A number of renames and refactors to match upstream Django
A small set of changes, but one of the largest diffs to date!
https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/django-tasks/releases/tag/0.9.0

I bought a cordless Einhell on Prime based on a bunch of online reviews. We don't have the biggest garden, but it did the front and back like a champ. Does feel a little like I'm pushing around a kids toy, but again in a good way!

Privileged LXCs definitely have a bad name, but I agree they shouldn't be necessary all the time. My use case at the moment is explicitly for bind-mounting to keep the UIDs (which IIRC is all privileged really does).
Might need to accelerate my plans for moving off of Proxmox... (Which i've been saying and researching for years 🙈 )

But it's Rust, so there's obviously no bugs 😉

Same process might make things complex. You could write your own tasks backend to facade over what you've got though

It's official - `django.tasks` exists! Coming soon to @npub1l0c…kt92 6.0. 585 days later, the first step (of many) in Django's background tasks journey is finally complete! 🥳

What if `runserver` just was production grade? 🤔 Separate dev and prod servers is quite a strange concept when looking at the ecosystem of non-python web frameworks

Yes, I saw this just this morning on a project. Most of my personal stuff I've switched to granian, and most of the time at work I just don't notice.

I'm really looking forward to the introduction of federation: https://forgefed.org/
Why does everything need to happen in one place. Let me use the git server and host my repos where I want, you host where you want, and let PRs etc flow between. That's the dream!

We've all heard that the standard library (or Django core) is where packages go to die.
Perhaps small unheard of 3rd-party packages is where great ideas go to die 🤔

If enough people have taken the time to even open a forum thread, that should really be enough sign that it's a good idea.
As I said in my statement, I strongly suspect the depths of Trac and the forum are filled with great feature nuggets like that - it just needs some people with the interest to triage them, revive discussions and hopefully help them (and the people who raised them) move them forwards.

Putting up fences to keep the "bad stuff" out is a natural response, but it's often too heavy of a hammer.
I like the model of letting the community chime in on their thoughts on a feature in the forum, so long as we empower them to do so, and make their opinions heard.

Even if it is 50 small steps, getting to just some of them still slowly reduces the barrier.

If you:
- Like @npub1l0c…kt92, and want it to innovate
- Have opinions, especially about background workers
Then you should come review the first part of the Tasks implementation for Django core! The best features start with a strong foundation.

I've been doing something similar for a few months: https://theorangeone.net/posts/github-readme-blog-posts/. uv wasn't quite as hot at the time, so it's good ol' pip.

Isn't it advised not to pass disks through, but to pass entire controllers? At that point, wouldn't pass through not care what the sector size is?

The number of times I've heard "I got my site running in production, but static files are missing". It's easy to fix when you know how, bit it's a real barrier for people releasing their shiny new project.

I think Python is the only ecosystem where the Dev servers are explicitly not production grade. It's definitely a food-gun for new users, but it does also avoid each framework needing to build and maintain their own.
