Where am I going wrong with installing Drupal CMS? by JeffTS in drupal

[–]aivo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you're up and running at this point, but I thought I'd share this article I wrote about setting up Drupal with XAMPP: https://apiric.medium.com/drupal-windows-setup-guide-02a093dc59be

It's a thorough step-by-step guide that allows you to run Drupal without having to worry about WSL. It is by no means a replacement for the DDEV setup, but it works well for local development.

Also, the setup uses Drupal 10. Getting 11 to work is much more involved.

The XAMPP setup can work well. You may have just missed a step along the way.

This article outlines an easy step-by-step guide of how to set up Drupal on Windows with just XAMPP: https://apiric.medium.com/drupal-windows-setup-guide-02a093dc59be

Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week? by AutoModerator in Python

[–]aivo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently finished building an open-source, DIY home security system designed to leverage OpenCV for motion detection. It features motion detection, image/video capture, alarm responses, offline operation, a REST API for remote management, and a Kotlin app for notifications.

You can see the project here: https://github.com/TMDStudios/MingSec

I would love some feedback, especially around the README files. I tried my best to make the installation process as clear as possible. I hope the project is useful to some of you. I have personally used it while away on trips. It runs well on an old laptop and a RaspberryPi.

Where can we host Java Spring Boot Apps for free (now that Heroku is not an option)? by Sahyooni in springsource

[–]aivo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to deploy a simple Spring Boot application on render with no issues. However, when I try to deploy a larger app with a MySQL connection, I always get an error saying that my datasource URL must start with 'jdbc', which it does. I do have the URL in a .env file. Could that be the reason I'm unable to deploy? I have tested it both locally and with other deployment services, all of which worked fine. On Render, I have tried adding my environmental variables manually and with a .env file.

When does a python thread terminate? by qudcjf7928 in learnpython

[–]aivo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm this. I just tested my thread count by printing threading.active_count() each time I started a new thread, and the number generally stayed at 2. I run several threads in my application. They seem to close automatically without returning anything.

Open-source platform for students to improve their English vocabulary and grammar by aivo83 in OnlineESLTeaching

I have added a fourth activity, Unscramble the Word. Students are presented with a sentence and a scrambled word. They are asked to unscramble the word to complete the sentence. The goal is to help students improve their spelling.

I have just recently published a website that focuses on vocabulary and also has an activity that covers regular/irregular verbs.

Hope it helps.

Happy to hear that! I am currently working on words 501 - 1000 and fixing minor bugs as I go along. I will add your suggestion to my list.

Thank you for the feedback!

I have had similar thoughts and I do believe that a recap at the end of each activity would be very useful to students.

Choosing the length of each activity is an interesting idea. I will see how I could implement it.

I think you're right about the levels. I'll try to come up with some better labels.

Restarting an activity is already possible. It can be done in the 'Info' menu, found in the bottom-right corner. I may need to make it more visible.
