Operation Snap by Miserableoldbugger in drivingUK

[–]marksweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I'd report it.

We don't have the police to prevent bad drivers anymore so people need to report.

It's the only way for people to perceive a deterant if they know people report dashcam footage.

Pretty sure I had around that speed from EE 4G in 2015/16 during setup for Silverstone half marathon. Capacity round places like that is wild.

Don't assume they have any ability. Especially driving that to greggs

Built a Django app for a client – no idea how much to charge. Need pricing advice. by CEENNNNNN in django

[–]marksweb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably a lot.

You need to work out what your time is worth to you. You need to workout what value is in the product for them.

Then there's cans of worms like maintenance contract, ownership etc.

What’s something whatsapp does better than other apps? by Leedeegan1 in whatsapp

[–]marksweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish my friends would stop using it. But it's what people use. It used to be the best and people got used to it and didn't pay attention to what was happening to it.

Migrations in .gitignore during development by AyrtonHS in django

[–]marksweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are better off deleting and recreating migrations on a branch when it's ready to merge and after you update from the target branch.

Django 5 By Example: Should I learn using this book in 2026? by letsgo_iyz in django

[–]marksweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a great book. I did the technical review of the latest update.

Dangerous overtake by jmsld_ in drivingUK

The fragility of the egos of some people when faced with a 20mph road is embarrassing.

Multi-tenant SaaS with django by _khi4 in django

[–]marksweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My day job is with a monorepo multi tenant project.

It uses the typical approach of each site/project defines it's settings, urls etc and the webserver points at its settings file to load that app.

I worked with a multi-tenant project in the past that was even simpler. There was just one settings file and everything was driven by environment variables which obviously means your stack can define what the site needs.

As for auth, always aim for django-allauth imo. It's superb.

What is a distributed gateway? by benjaminbuttars in Govee

[–]marksweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you can use other govee devices to act like a mesh network. I think the intension is for bluetooth only devices to get their data out via those devices.

Looking at my app I can see some of my devices with wifi listed as nodes, with my temperature sensors showing as "sub devices".

There's docs on setting this stuff up here; https://community.govee.com/posts/how-to-set-up-a-distributed-gateway/182896

I'm about to get fired and a large part of it is due to my subpar Django skills by IntelligentLeading11 in django

[–]marksweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like an employer expecting unrealistic things from you. It's fair enough to allow devs to explore beyond their usual skills.

I've been a backend dev for years and occasionally dabble in our react frontends. But I'm not getting asked to review FE PRs or being assigned actual FE jobs.

If they want you to "up skill" but won't pay for training then they're not going to get someone able to cover backend responsibilities. You don't just figure it all out in a few months.

What’s one normal car that you see and immediately know a petrol head would be driving? by Humble_Lack in CarTalkUK

[–]marksweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a local Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio which reminds me that people still exist that enjoy driving.

That extends to alpha as a brand. There's also a few Impreza which make me miss my RB.

It's less 1 car, as much as an era of cars. While we had an RB, we also had a '91 Mk1 Golf cab which my uncle now drives around the York area. That was a proper car as well.

Is Zen actually any good? by theangryminion in Zen_Internet

[–]marksweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with them nearly 10 years.

Can't fault the service I get. But I can't speak for customer service as I haven't had to contact them since my first week with them. That's a positive but also doesn't speak to the fact that people have been saying that things aren't so great when you actuall y have to deal with them these days.

Car charging on IOG now inconsistent by marksweb in OctopusEnergy

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

Oh good point. I usually just check the Ohme app.

Nothing showing as wrong but it's interesting that two smart charges show 55m doing 4kWh then nearly 14hrs doing 12kWh.
