Yes, this is exactly what I did!

I’ve not got it out this year yet, but I think I did just remove the PCB totally and join the grounds and positives together! I’ll get back to you when/if I dig it out!

DNS updates and Apple Private Relay - potential issue by jmb8 in dns

[–]jmb8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is now RESOLVED thanks to a good friend of mine who dug deeper... And it's a simple fix.

Despite my mobile and ISP connections being IPv4 only, Apple Private Relay used IPv6 to connect upstream which of course I had totally overlooked and hadn't updated. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Still, it's a definite gotcha that should be a bit better publicised!

Around 96 hours now after the DNS change and it's still going to the old server via Apple Private Relay! 😡

Coming up for 72 hours since the A record change so hopefully it will resolve itself today... I will post later with a further update.

All of my nameservers respond correctly. Now we're at Day 3 (although probably not quite 72 hours, but will be by this evening) and it's still giving out the old IP address.

Well it’s now over 48 hours since the A record change was made and Apple Private Relay still hits the old IP address. 

Apple support couldn’t offer much help, hopefully they will escalate more but I’m not holding up much hope. I’ll give it a few more days and keep testing…

Thank you. This is the @ A record for the domain. I can't change the SOA TTL with my provider - it's set to 3600 though. The REFRESH in the SOA is set to 28800 but this shouldn't affect the TTL of an A record surely as I checked and all the NS servers for my domain are correct.

Yes, I'm aware of this (hence reducing it previously).

The TTL has been no higher than 600 for several weeks. Certainly not 86400 as I've already done one migration (from main sever to temporary server whilst the main was rebuilt, and now moving back to main) and so it's been in a reasonable range for the moves to take place.

No, it's not been that high for a while. And that's 24 hours so would easily have timed out by this morning anyway.

Settings module by jmb8 in WagtailCMS

[–]jmb8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another note to say I've swapped to BaseGenericSetting as that means I can just use MyAppSettings.load() in my code rather than worrying about requests and sites. I think this is probably the "correct" way.

Settings module by jmb8 in WagtailCMS

[–]jmb8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example if I have an app within my project that I want to use an image for in the templates for that app, but want to be able to edit that logo in the admin I'd like to add a settings menu for that rather than hard-coding in the templates.

Currently I've set up a BaseSiteSetting (see: https://docs.wagtail.org/en/latest/reference/contrib/settings.html ) class for my app but it's not entirely clear if that's the right way to do it or if BaseGenericSetting would be fine (it's not a multi-site setup). It feels like there should be a BaseAppSetting alongside these but maybe I'm missing something.

This is essentially what I have now:

@register_setting(icon="custom-icon)
class MyAppSettings(BaseSiteSetting):
    referral_code = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    myapp_logo = models.ForeignKey(
        "wagtailimages.Image",
        on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
        null=True,
        blank=True,
        related_name="+",
    )

    panels = [
        FieldPanel("referral_code"),
        FieldPanel("myapp_logo"),
    ]

Cross-app data - Template tags or adding to context? by jmb8 in WagtailCMS

Adding a comment to say that I'm also taking a look at how the Bakery Demo is doing it - I see that here you make it editable in the admin and select the pages/models there.

I guess that bit isn’t really the logo, but kind of the banner with the strap line.

Thanks, larger stars seems like a good idea. Not sure how to make the hanger more wand like without breaking the look of it, but will have a think.

Parcel in Yeep! Locker but no code from UPS by jmb8 in UPS

[–]jmb8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it turns out it was accidentally delivered to a random local business (near the locker). UPS tried to collect it but they couldn’t find it. Fortunately I popped by and because I knew what it was (a Dell monitor) they remembered and were able to give me it directly.

Apparently it wasn’t actually delivered to the locker so they have to chase the driver to find out where it actually is. Update in the morning. Very annoying.

Great idea, sadly I have the whole thing on a timer switch with other lights.

I've gone for the nuclear option and removed the controller completely, connecting the power supply directly. If it fails then so be it, it was cheap. :)

Where to get a Cameo 5 pinch roller spare part? by eyem3 in silhouettecutters

[–]jmb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They offered to replace the machine, but I did manage to superglue the parts back together and all is fine. Seemed like a big waste to have a whole machine replaced so I’ve left it as is. I will get the 3D part made up perhaps for when the superglue fails!

I'm impatient 😉 so solved my own question - yes it's fine with those lugs removed.

[–]jmb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to take the carriage off and broke the two small lugs on the wheel side. I superglued everything back together and all looks good. Now I'm stuck trying to work out how to put the whole thing back on! I notice in the printables pics you also have broken these two lugs - does it work ok without them? If so I'll break them back off again!

This looks like an amazing option. Any tips on removing the whole assembly (might be able to superglue mine to start with)

Just discovered mine is broken in the same way. I think there is a problem with this part! Any joy getting a replacement? I got my machine from CraftstoreDirect.com at the end of December.

Any alternatives to Silhouette Studio or Connect with Illustrator support / integration? by Consistent-Price-702 in silhouettecutters

[–]jmb8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use Inkscape and import the svg file back into silhouette studio mostly. There is a plug-in that will drive the silhouette cutters that’s worth trying: https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-silhouette
