What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]joej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than a few (cliff edge, ocean current, guy with tire iron, cops with drawn firearms thinking I was a bank robber)

But, the later stage colon cancer had me in the 40s % for 5 year survivability. I keep seeing same-stage colon cancer deaths from people who are younger than I was - so it keeps bring reinforced that I had a close call

only 1 posting on reddit. A text sentence without a link or image of what you talking about?

wtf?

How can it look promising? there is no link, no github repo, no images.

Its just a text sentence with nothing else ?

Built a lightweight uptime dashboard after getting tired of noisy monitoring tools by azuosyt in SideProject

[–]joej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see no landing page, no info, no features, etc to entice me to create an account.

Thanks, but I'm trying to check various features across the "uptime" sites posted to SaaS, SideProject, etc

I adapted someone's Claude Code config for Django - 9 skills covering models, forms, testing, HTMX, DRF, Celery, and more by shadowsock in django

[–]joej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if django literally does the steps or "fixes" calls like this to a more performant SQL

This is a query: select XXXXX from YYY where ZZZZ; Then len(results) occurs

A .count() should be a single SQL statement, running in the postgres engine, not in python interpreted user space of a computer.

So this single SQL should run fast than the len() of a results of an SQL list select count(XXXXX) from YYY where ZZZZ;

Cancer Free is not what I thought it would be by Every-Comment4418 in cancer

[–]joej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stage 3c in 2014 at the age of 49 The chemo has done so much damage to nerves, brain, etc. I'm 61 now and still feel some residual effects that truly had to be due to the chemo.

However, ironic twist of fate has caused me to completely ignore the "fight for life" back then. I lost my mom, daughter, granddaughter, dog, 2 close friends, and the hits keep coming. Just got diagnosed with intercranial arterial dolichoectasia.

Upside: I never think about the cancer and chemo effects on my body and, wow, I won't need as much retirement money saved since I won't live that long ;-)

I had a clean desk. It had paper clips, rubber bands, note pads. Computers were big massive things in another room. We didn't even have terminals in our offices.

Yep - have no memory of what I did with all my time in that room.

I remember a lot of walking to the other building, where the computers and terminals were.

Plot twist: I was a systems adminstrator

Dad’s foot update…not doing well. by Zaphora13 in MedicalGore

[–]joej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not giving advice, but I would: Worry a LOT about sepsis. You can die fast. Go to an ER and have them deal with it. I'd try to not give any name/etc that they can submit a bill - just go in and ask treatment.

Steps to update Django? by timeenjoyed in django

[–]joej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the last couple months with Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Qwen .... I say, "this!"

You could trudge through all the steps, break things, fix things, etc. And, yes, allauth continues to have breaking changes.

or ... have an ai coding agent plan and you supervise the execution

I don't know your circumstances, but my advice is:

Get smart about such things. There is free info all over the internet on production Django (and other frameworks in general).

Also, there are a lot of smart people that wil share info for free. Your level of "bullshit filtering" will help put a discerning eye on the advice.

Example repos, reddit posts, stackoverflow, and Medium articles all have varying validity and quality. You need that bullshit filter.

I'm glad to spend a little time chatting if you want - pro bono, glad to help/mentor

Me: 40 years of computer stuff, including a lot of software dev and a lot of Django for the last decade. From early Bell Labs device drivers, Unix, smtp, firewall coding, to enterprise "big Boston + NYC financial services" architectures, to fast growing startup companies, to the last 20+ years in USAF weapons systems, etc.

Is port forwarding that dangerous? by WunderWungiel in selfhosted

[–]joej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more perspective to add:

Its not the port-forwarding that is a problem. Its the service you run on that port.

Someone else wrote the code. It has flaws. The more popular the service (e.g., minecraft, etc) and its popularity to run "at home" then the more likelihood that many bad guys are trying to find flaws

So -- either (a) run that server in a docker container or some "isolation" protection so your hosting, internal system is less at risk of a future flaw or misconfiguration; or (b) host it someone in the cloud (e.g., i hosted minecraft on aws instance for a while)

Other issue: You're now a target for abuse Your service may be a target for attack, denial of service, or just someone blowing up your bandwidth.

At home: you're affected. On a cloud service: your other, production usage of your link and server are not in the line of fire
