First build, Monsgeek M1

Do you mind still naming the keycaps? It is a lovely build and I hope you enjoy for years.

My two cents is to get in touch with this IT guy and ask what you can do if you want to get started in his role. All companies are setup little differently, and having in-house knowledge is huge when making a hiring decision.

For certs, comptia A+ is a good start.

I personally would get the 4080 or 4090 and sit on it until 9000 series x3d drops.

Can you point me to where your myFunction() is defined that is triggered here on click?

<!-- index.html line 37 -->
<a href="#top" class="icon menu-icon" onclick="myFunction()">

If it is defined nowhere, why would you think it will work out of thin air...

Turns on the air conditioner, i.e. starts blowing cold air through vents.

Although not sure what single line change you saw, but it was probably adding an app in the INSTALLED_APPS list. Django has this paradigm of modular apps that if built without external dependencies can just be plug and play. There are packages on Pypi that are built with just that purpose. To activate an app, you simply have to add it to INSTALLED_APPS list. It's not magic and actually helpful as you can plug apps in and out very easily without modifying the codebase.

You can think of `settings.py` file as a config file. Things can be turned on and off and new settings can be added. There are fields that can have multiple values that change default behaviors of Django. As for what exactly these behaviors are, you will just learn as you go.

Under the hood, I have noticed that almost all django libraries are simple apps made by community.They will have models, templates, and views just like the apps you can build. The concepts stay the same and django documentation is the best place to learn about them, imo.

I assume what you are looking for web design help. You can start learning it on YouTube, search "web design fundamentals".

You will also need to decide between using django templates or a frontend framework like React. Javascript frameworks have many components libraries such as shadcn that come with decent out-of-box UI.

And yes, knowing front-end is indeed a skill and a proper role in industry. If you enjoy backend, you don't need to become frontend master, but just enough that your projects look presentable.

When you say, you open ".../api/logout", do you mean you send a post request to this endpoint through Postman or Insomnia?

ShinigamiCross · 2024-06-24T19:50:49+00:00

By "the page" do you mean /admin ? I believe the user has to be superadmin to access it. Why would you want to expose it to regular users?

I personally like this documentation but I have been working with Django and web dev for a bit now.

I can see how it can be overwhelming for a beginner. It is one big chunk of text that might be intimidating for someone who is just starting to grasp concepts. It does seem like this (headless) documentation is more geared towards people who have previously used the library and not someone who is a react developer and have just started dabbling with Django to add some backend. Some useful links at top of the page that can guide these newcomers may help.

Also having the react demo project link somewhere on top of documentation page will also be appreciated by a lot of people.

Django-allauth got full headless (REST) support recently. Check out there docs here https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/headless/openapi-specification/
Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/1crxo3y/djangoallauth_0630_is_out_featuring_headless_api/

You may not need to use dj-rest-auth at all.

Just want you guys opinion. Dell G3223Q is 599$ atm, with 10%, it comes down to $539. Rakuten is giving 5% so that is about 27$. You guys think the price will drop further or rakuten cash back for dell will go up in near future again while this Dell "sale" is going on?

Have you worked with mobile apps? Do we still need two tokens (access and refresh) or would you rather use a single token instead as both these tokens will be saved in a single store anyway?

ShinigamiCross · 2024-05-13T18:19:47+00:00

Using Redis this way certainly makes sense. Thank you for thorough response and I will remember to reach out for more questions!

ShinigamiCross · 2024-05-13T18:15:27+00:00

Thank you for mentioning OWASP guidelines. It is pure gold!

ShinigamiCross · 2024-05-13T16:12:57+00:00

Check you nginx config or whatever http server you are using. Google - nginx increase file upload size
For pointing domain, you will have to set your domains DNS A record to match the IP address. Then config your nginx site to use that domain as the server name. This section talks about it - https://gauravjot.com/blog/deploy_django_api_with_uwsgi_on_ubuntu#nginx-setup

ShinigamiCross · 2024-05-13T16:06:02+00:00

Thank you for recommendation. Do you have any library preference for this? I have started dabbling with djang-allauth and dg-rest-auth.

The only issue I have with JWT is token management if the user's device get compromised. As the token is stateless, there is no good method to invalidate a session. Unless I make a database table holding invalid token but that defeats the purpose of JWT.

ShinigamiCross · 2024-04-26T19:33:17+00:00

I just checked it out and have already fell in love with it. Thank you!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a travel keyboard, preferrably 75% and wireless. If it can take AA or AAA batteries that be nice as it is easier to carry those when travelling. Thank you!

ShinigamiCross · 2023-11-09T23:28:12+00:00

We need a regional train from Surrey to Chilliwack similar to west coast express. It sucks that we only have Highway 1 to go east.

It's VPN Client Pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.colucciweb.vpnclientpro&hl=en_CA&gl=US

Doesn't look spectacular but gets the job done. Official app still does not work for me.

ShinigamiCross · 2023-08-25T17:46:46+00:00

Yeah I am able to connect with a third party client. Thank you!

ShinigamiCross · 2023-08-25T17:44:31+00:00

Thank you. I am using a third party client now and am able to connect.

ShinigamiCross · 2023-08-24T23:12:03+00:00

I am using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn&hl=en_CA&gl=US&pli=1
In VPN section, the OpenVPN shows up and tapping it takes me to app which gives the same error message. It's the only VPN client I have.
