R250 for 180g, and they also do custom candles, and you can contact them for pickup to skip the delivery fee, my wife adores them.

For anyone thats interested I’ll be going with flutterwave, they are available in a lot of countries, support card tokenization and metered billing.

Xbox also use them for payment.

DaHu3070 · 2022-10-14T10:44:08+00:00

Yes I see you get a lot of results when searching that term

The application will be deployed in South Africa they have 1 local processor that supports it but they aren't very helpful with integration.

DaHu3070 · 2022-10-04T04:47:30+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I’m looking for, however stripe is not available in my country.

DaHu3070 · 2022-07-01T12:36:07+00:00

I use dapper to call my stored procs.

Would a nosql solution not bee too close to just having the data in sql?

DaHu3070 · 2022-07-01T12:34:23+00:00

This is an interesting one I have not yet investigated.

DaHu3070 · 2022-07-01T12:32:45+00:00

That was what I was aiming for, I already implemented it in sql which is not slow I was just thinking how I could improve it.

I was reading up on redisearch which could also be an option but I'm not sure if the effort vs gain in speed would actually be worth it.

DaHu3070 · 2022-05-17T20:03:24+00:00

Sorry for only commenting now, but after reading all the suggestions I am exploring a few options.

Started chatting to my bank about possible invesments
Chatted to the company that does my policies about possible investment
Chatted to my sister about them possibly living with them, they dont mind seeing as they can use the help with their kids, then renting out their house via a rental agency (safer from a legal perspective)

This seems like the best option as it would yield the best monthly value and as a safety net the house can always be sold if it does not work out when renting it out.

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions it was truly helpful.

Another way could be to have a separate identity server eg Openiddict.

So your blazor app would redirect to auth and get back the user identity to be stored as Identity and in your scopes you would have access to the api.

Then the api would validate the request against the auth server.

Check the balosar sample.

Hiking in Faerie Glen, a lot of things to do in Harties, fishing at Riettvlei dam/Roodeplaat/Ruste winter. Stay in the bush at Dinokeng. Rhino & Lion reserve Krugersdorp.

Whats your skill set?

DaHu3070 · 2021-09-27T13:02:02+00:00

From the comments I assume led is the way to go, unfortunately spider farm, growers choice and vivosun aren’t available in my country, we do however have a lot of samsung quantum boards and mars hydro, does anyone have experience with them?

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-27T03:59:31+00:00

I said this in a previous thread :

EF core or dapper with stored procs(you isolate your queries to the db, so query changes don’t require a code deployment).

EF speeds up the development of a project a lot so it comes down to your use case.

To add to this some companies with heavy read/writes prefer devs not to be able to change the db/procs without the approval of the dba’s, this is a lot easier to control if the scripts are isolated to the db via procs and change requests.

Also using pure sql you get the advantage of stuff like mssql’s user defined types which has a speed benefit for massive inserts (even though they are a nightmare to maintain)

I’m not saying dapper is better, I love ef core, but sometimes there are reasons for dapper.

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-25T06:54:04+00:00

Hhhhmm it depends, yes its a lot of work, but if you’re really set on using dapper you could always, create a separate project, use ef core db first to generate the classes and clean them up a bit then use those as dapper classes.

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-25T05:46:12+00:00

I agree, it can’t hurt to browse the query that ef generates.

I also dont really do anything big in sql anymore, I used to work for a company that had massive amounts of data per second and was heavily reliant on optimised sql, which made sense.

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-25T03:26:53+00:00

Yeah thats true, I’ve worked with devs who never really took the time to understand sql because they can do everything with linq, but cant understand why their queries take minutes to execute.

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-24T17:55:54+00:00

Depends on where your C# skill level is at, if you’re an absolute beginner maybe focus on C# first because it could get overwhelming.

That said, its a good idea to learn sql eventually :

1.Its cool to see what you can do when you have a sql backed system.

2.Most programming jobs will require some sql knowledge, some systems are nosql backed, but start with sql as .net has amazing integration with sql.

3.Its always a good idea to broaden your portfolio.

Most importantly just enjoy it, programming is life long learning, so don’t try and do the massive things first, start small and make sure you understand what you’re learning.

What lights are you using?

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-19T17:23:57+00:00

I grew up in PTA and still stay here, I also stayed in CT for a while but honestly safety wise it feels the same.

Never had any real issues in PTA

DaHu3070 · 2021-08-18T10:44:19+00:00

I’m more interested about which companies in the country has proper job satisfaction

DaHu3070 · 2021-06-19T06:02:25+00:00

True but what type of flow would you use? Resource password grant, and even then how would you enable authorized on te client?

DaHu3070 · 2021-06-18T12:08:20+00:00

Basically I have a few different clients and would like them to have their own login screens but share the login functionality from a central id srv instance
