 #Heroku is shutting down their free Dynos and #Postgres offering. I find it sad, since now there is one place less for beginners to host their #Django projects for free. More reasons to migrate to React SPA garbage. The email, where they’ve told me this, got sent twice. It didn’t specify, whether I’ve had any free Dynos, which made me log in. I guess my password was incorrect, but instead of telling me this, the website said “There was a problem with your login”. Could you elaborate? Ugh. I hate having too many tabs open. More than 5–7, and I find it too cluttered already. But when I have to have too many tabs open (exam session woo-hoo), the Tree Style Tab extension is a frickin' lifesaver. Why didn’t I try it sooner?!  @kytta I keep trying to love this extension, but for some reason I always neglect it. It just doesn't feel well integrated, so my brain only sees an annoying banner on the side of my browser. I should give it a couple more shots, maybe then it finally sticks. Saw this on one support website. If you have to write your date format after your date, you’ve failed. Use the unambiguous ISO format (2022-08-15) or spell out the month (Aug 15 2022 or 15 Aug 2022) Oh, and by the way, this screenshot is from when a website team confirmed they started working on my account deletion. It’s been five days, and they’re still on it. Might be a very complicated SQL query…  @kytta I never understood why the day is after the month. Maybe it caters well to the English pronunciation, August 15th 2022, but at that point just write it like that in the first place. After almost a year of preparations, I have finally done it: I have planted the first seed of my digital garden ✨ It runs on Mycorrhiza [1], a wonderful wiki engine by @bouncepaw Right now there are some jots about software development, but I plan to expand it with basically everything I’m passionate about… …which is basically software development 😂

 Did anyone try #OpenBSD (and/or #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, etc.) as the main OS for a #RaspberryPi? I have a Model 3B+ and I wonder, whether it works smoother than Debian/Ubuntu. And, if you tried BSD on your Pi, which distro have you found works best? @kytta hi, I then have to find the time to reinstall it. PS: I have Openbsd running on a pi400 as my desktop OS. No hardware acceleration, no graphic drivers except simple framebuffer but it does the thing for what I do (web, music, writing).  @kytta @RussSharek I ran an OpenBSD pi for a while. It worked, and was stable, but iirc a little tricky to get set up initially.  @kytta From what I understand of Apple, is that they're very much against any backend tweaks. As far as browser engine and dns server. So I doubt it, via extrapolation Needed to implement a quick draft of a website, which basically pulls data from an API and displays it neatly on the page. For some reason, I decided to make it a #JavaScript SPA. Immediately regretted it due to no built-in parsing of dates and 0-indexed months 🙄 Rewriting it as a thin client with a lightweight #Python (or #Go, I haven’t decided yet) back-end. Good morning! :blobcatgooglycofecup: For those, who wonder: No, my SPA is not a thin client, it can be thinner! The API accepts date as parameter, and I want for the client users to ba able to put the desired date as a query parameter. Such a pain in the butt to do this in JS, so my website will be static — even better.

SSH commit signing has been around for over 7 months now, but GitHub is still behind on that feature (unlike @gitea and thus @codeberg) Yet another reason to #GiveUpGitHub #Django devs, I need your help! Is there a way to display a model object’s data in a ModelForm as an uneditable field? Use case: User A submits an order for User B to execute. On creation time, User A can choose an executor. User B can edit the order submitted to him, but can’t edit the ‘executor’ field any more. I do still want to show it in the HTML form, though. Is there a way to cleanly implement it with ModelForm? Plz boost because I’ve been sitting at this for two hours now 😩

@kytta If I understand your problem correctly, you could inject arbitrary HTML key value pairs via the widget attrs property in the ModelForm or add a conditional check that if an order exists in the form template disable the widget? Sorta like this: {% if obj %}  @kytta @ru (I have not done this particular case myself, but…) You can define attrs on a widget; I *think* this is just a question of setting the “readonly” attr on the one in question. Note that you’ll likely want to validate that field server side on submission to guard against folks editing the html directly. I would never imagine that picking apart old #legacy code would be a fun activity for me. But now, having replaced 30+ lines of unprofessionally written jQuery mess with two lines of backend Python code, I feel so euphoric. Took me an hour to even get the sense behind it, but it’s rewarding. I guess I definitely chose the right profession 😄 @kytta my primary function in my day job is reading and understanding old messy programming in sometimes obsolete controls systems and reprogramming those functions in newer controls systems using modern standards. I really enjoy it, so I know what you mean. It can be fun and quite satisfying. Me: *run a single MariaDB container* Docker: *eats 4GB* I hate Docker Desktop so much :blobcatangery: Quite sad that this is the first time in my life that I've encountered a website that actually does respect DNT 😕 Medium also respects it somewhat. They'll track the crap out of you themselves, but won't show youtube embeds to "protect your privacy" 🤡 When developing a web app locally, which credentials do you use for testing? Anonymous poll

There is a bizarre algorithm behind it, which is shipped with every browser because of, you guessed it, compatibility with Netscape Navigator. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911/why-does-html-think-chucknorris-is-a-color #AskFedi iPhone users: P. S. Please no "apple bad" replies :D  @kytta It's been pretty good for me; I've gone through two of them in the last year and a half. Hey Fedi, do you know if there is a federated (perhaps even #ActivityPub-powered) cooking recipe hosting service? If not, let's 👏 make 👏 this 👏 happen! I hate modern recipe websites. All of them are full with ads and tracking. The leading recipe hosting in my country loads over 30 different trackers, and that's excluding the ads!

@kytta In French, there's https://www.cuisine-libre.org/ which is quite good. I know there's a Nextcloud app for that: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/cookbook But it is not federated. |

After resetting my password, I was able to log in. I have had, in fact, some free Dynos (all asleep for ages). Deleted them and my account as well. Minus one personal data location to worry about :)
