Thank you, it's great to have positive feedback!

Thanks! Yes definitely, I think it's a great fit for anything self-contained and limited scope that doesn't need a lot of code. I've certainly found having an easy way to run a single file using Django's ORM is pretty ha

by radiac 2y ago
Me too, I'm convinced it has a place - the number of single file projects over the past few years can't be a coincidence. For me the two missing pieces were models and a path to migrate to a full project once it outgrew a single f

I self hosted for myself and some clients for years. As long as you set up everything correctly it's fairly pain-free, but it's definitely worth getting on as many abuse notification lists as you can find - I wasn't doing any

Having an OS which boots from hardware is always a feature to me - no matter how badly you screw up your system, you just do a hard reset (boot holding R) and get a working OS and GUI. You can still patch it by defining a boot app, but the

As you say, I'd prefer to run this sort of thing locally - half the point of running your own CA is that you have full control over it. I wrote caman ( https://github.com/radiac/caman ), a bash script wrapper for op

Exactly - there's no need for a service like this when you can have self-signed certificates. Create a CA cert to distribute across your team, then use it to sign host, wildcard and SAN certs as needed. If you need to share your site w

I've added an experimental branch with SAN support, but I haven't had a chance to test it fully yet; any feedback would be appreciated.

by radiac 11y ago
I hadn't come across this when I wrote caman; from the looks of things caman is simpler to use, but missing a couple of features - alt hostname support for SAN certificates (which I'm adding at the moment and should be up later to

How good are Django 1.7 migrations at detecting things which have already happened? In particular, can you safely maintain South migrations alongside Django ones, or do you have to force users to switch? The problem I envisage is that when

As you say, it's an interesting tech demo (which looks like it would be even more fun if you coupled it with a physics engine btw), but not particularly practical. The way I could see it working though (without a significant change in

It may be of interest that the author actually has a degree in CS, as well as her postgraduate teacher training (I was at university with her). As you say, I think her point was that because she now works in education, she may not have kept

But that's part of the problem - comments will only show up if there are enough people looking at it to do the endorsing. A single site-wide list of pending comments won't work either - surely the whole point is that comments shou

Given they're no longer secret, that would seem safer than typing my e-mail address into an untrusted site to see if it has been compromised.

I agree. They're open source at the moment, and they've been my icon set of choice for some time - I use them in my open source RSS reader, django-yarr, for example. In fact I came to the comments to complain about how there is al

I feel exactly the same way - wherever possible I run my own services on my own servers, so I know where my data's going, and I'm not at the mercy of someone else changing or removing a feature I like, or shutting it down complete

Thanks for pointing that out - I'd noticed a few clashes after I'd started developing it, so its full name is django-yarr; I've changed the title to avoid any confusion.

While that is a valid general criticism of Steam, they do provide an offline mode, which the new Sim City does not. Personally I prefer Steam to the previous alternative of having to leave the CD in the drive, or using a dodgy no-cd patch -

A menu somewhere to select the current media type would be lovely - not least for checking print stylesheets. Perhaps a drop-down at the top of responsive mode? A nice ui for cookie management stuff (edit, delete) would be good too. Even be
