@webology@mastodon.social maybe this conf env module needs it's own forum post to drum up some support. Easier to implement and the fact every man & his dog has a third party package to do this tells us it's well used by many.

@webology@mastodon.social I think the conf module would define the data classes for the "settings groups". Then devs import these into their settings to setup their projects. I do love env vars. django.conf.env could read from the env, env files, parse variables, then settings might look more like; ALLOWED_HOSTS = env.list('ALLOWED_HOSTS', default=['localhost']) DATABASES = { 'default': env.db('DATABASE_URL', default='sqlite:///db.sqlite3') } With potential for querystring mapping db options.

Maybe the only thing I miss about twitter is the local connection to information.

Recently I saw takeaway curry delivered in proper insulated boxes. I was impressed. We rarely order takeaway, but I'd order from there based on thay level of detail in their delivery.

And with the way that local network of people worked, I'd have found out what business is was.

The @djangocms@fosstodon.org involvement in @djangonaut@indieweb.social has been fantastic & we wanted to keep offering mentorship to people after they've been through the program.

The first person to be involved has written a little bit about the past few months.

@CodenameTim@mastodon.social this was indeed the one I had in mind. Thanks Tim!

@pauleveritt @django @judy2k I think I cracked it. Added a docker compose run configuration and there you don't have to specify a service! I was defaulting to the old days where I would add a compose interpreter and specify the python container. Those projects would run django templates and not use nginx locally. I'll have to tweak things a bit still I think but I've got a running dev stack through pycharm! Don't think debug was available though and that's the best feature!

@nikitonsky I've heard of some windows laptops including cloud storage in their quoted capacity.

@davidsmith @carlton @felixxm @sarahboyce @adamchainz Some businesses won't accept versions of software that aren't LTS. So it is useful to those people who have clients afraid of non-LTS releases. (they're obviously not aware of the stability Django has, but I also don't think they get their mind changed because it's covered in red tape)

@davidzipper@mastodon.social sounds like the problem of an overly litigious society who aren't all that moved by people killing people? Though even in the UK, killing someone with a vehicle is the method that seems to come with the least consequences.

@CodenameTim@mastodon.social yes that sounds familiar. It was something that let's you go beyond the atomic block

I really like Sentry Seer.

I really don't like its new pricing of $40 per month per active repository contributor.

@pauleveritt @django sounds great, I'll keep an eye out! I need to search for some support/videos about run configs I think. I've got a project where dev is done in docker, via a bash script to build, run and do things like migrations and tests within the containers. Junie tried to help write some configs for me, but it's not been a success yet.

@pauleveritt @django @judy2k when I last tried it I felt like there was an abstraction layer between the UI and what docker was doing that left me unsure if things were running. From my usual terminal commands I get container output and can see things ready. I'll see if I can record something to shed some light on things 👍

I love having ssh keys in 1Password, until I want to push or pull from a repo and it's ssh agent doesn't prompt for my auth. Then I'm stuck as if I've no repo access at all.

@raffaellasuardini@mastodon.social One of those pandemic trends which I still think is brilliant 😎 It's so good making pizza at home with the kids that you'd go to a restaurant and pay £20 for 😂
